    This bass shouldn't be allowed.

    Just wanna add one more thing after hours of testing and playing tonight. aside from re-recording alot of my own bass tracks for project work with this, ive played through a few tracks from Rancid, Millencolin and various other punk bands and she just responds really well to fast pick playing...

    This bass shouldn't be allowed.

    Greetings all!. So yeah, just as a bit of background, like alot of people, I go through basses like underwear, some I keep, most get moved on.

    EHX Deluxe Big Muff Sovtek mix up.

    Thanks for all the replies, after alot of testing ive decided to keep the Sovtek Deluxe, the mids shaping section has proved to be extremely useful and im loving the overall tone and sound of the pedal. thanks again to all you folks who chimed in, peace. Regards.

    EHX Deluxe Big Muff Sovtek mix up.

    Something else ive noticed tonight is that the Sovtek Deluxe seems to be extremely sensitive on input signal, similar to what very hot active pickups are like, ive only been using a passive USA Fender Jazz this evening. I'm wondering if the bass version of the Big Muff is the same.
