Well, the Muff by itself is pretty darn popular. You can add an EQ pedal to shape the tone, or a blender pedal to mix in some of your dry uneffected bass, those are also popular options. Perhaps the best thing to combine with a muff is a 4x15 speaker cab.

Muff -> Envelope Filter or
Envelope Filter -> Muff is pretty entertaining. You could also try Octaver -> Muff or Muff-> Octaver.

Personally, I've always liked Muff>Blue Box.
Definitely cool and sweet, not so much usable.

Muff+Whammy
Muff+Whammy+Delay
Muff+Octaver
Muff+Delay
Muff+Chorus
Muff+Phaser (better before Phaser though)


I'm sure a muff will sound good with most effects. hell, I put my Fulltone Bassdrive infront of my Muff and it was just RIDICULOUS.

I know that some people describe the MXR Blowtorch as a fuzz but I thought it more of an overdrive (just my opinion). Or if it is a fuzz it did not sound like a thick fuzz like the Muffs. I was thinking of putting a Blowtorch in front of my LBM. Just to see if I could produce something, as you say, "RIDICULOUS".

I'm sure it will produce some sort of RIDICULOUS.

The Blowtorch reminds me of the Muff quite a bit, actually (going by clips I believe Mysticboo posted). I once had two Muff's (different settings) and ran them both at the same time a couple of times and I'm not een sure if I could describe the sound as good or bad...

With my last band, I used my BMP going into chorus, delay and a sub-octave for a huge, heavy, glitchy synth sound.

Muff - > Bassballs
You get the weirdest sound ever, I did use it at the start of one fo my old recordings, I found that you could get a thunderous rumbling sound out of by just vibrating the E string.
My current favourite is:
Muff -> White Finger ->Tube OD
This thing just sings, the mids are amazing, they don't cut the mix they slash through it.

Muff or any dirt type pedal can useful with alot of differnt effects. Most popular is probably either chorus, octaver/pitch shifter, or delay.
