Ok, here´s the deal. I been offered to buy a Sovtek green Big Muff from 1985. Is that the real deal if it is from 1985? I don´t know so much about the history when the reissues came out on the market.

well, when i was attempting to sell mine, I also believed it was 80s, but was informed that they werent made until the 90s.

They're great pedals,

heres some info on the Sovtek Muff family:

They are great pedals, but if it's not a great deal... I'd pass..

A good way to help make that call, what's he trying to sell it to you for?

Around $60 bucks.

Pretty good deal if it's one of the green russian muffs...

Are you sure it's 85 and not 95 maybe? 60 dollars is a VERY good price for a green sovtek. I'd say go for it.

As said there are NO 80's Sovtek Muffs, the end. Now if it some kind of 80's muff it "might" be worth a look, they made a Ic based one I think, but I've only heard rumors, never seen one or a picture of one...
