Muff Clone

I just got a Muff Clone. Probably can't say the name but its initials are SS. The first word is scratchy.

Initial impressions are great pedal. Does the dead battery thing well. And it's got an on off switch. Lots of knobs so this will take a while. I was looking for a White Russian and this seems to nail that territory.

I can't say that we're criticizing, as per Godwin's Law...
The OP say he can't post what the name is and in fact the SS font is in the old Nazi SS font.

Looks borderline Nazi-themed, but I'd expect more in a oldschool-German-war-machine context than genocide-of-a-people context. But you never know.

Hardly secret, it's all over the net for those with the open mindedness to look.

Monsterpiece Fuzz - Scratchy Snatch demo - YouTube

I didn't feel it would be appropiate for a site with so many children.

But you've given me a great idea. Rorschach tests using fuzz pedals.

Well it isn't a Schutstaffel, it's a Scratchy Snatch. Which is IMO a pretty clever use of the sexually suggestive Muff idiom. I don't know why the builder used the Nazi-stylized Armanen runic lightning bolts. But possibly he is invoking Thor or Kiss or he isn't up on his history.

You mean these spurts of thick hot fuzz I've been spewing over the faces of my audiences all these years has some sexual innuendo behind it?

Yes, it is a great name!
But there is a lesson here: do your research before your market your product so that you don't, oh, I don't know, accidentally put nazi insignias on it.
