Electro-Harmonix Bass Big Muff

#21
Damn, I might have to replace my big muff with this! But I just bought a messdrive+ so I have all the bottom end I need. But for pairing it up with my qton+? Wonder how it will sound. All I need is an octave and then I won't have to buy an XO BMS. Or maybe I will. ARRRGH DAMN YOU EHX!!!


Oh and thanks toasted for the high res pics. Quite sexy!

OK, so the Blogger is described as adding "subtle, soulful" distortion while maintaining low end. I already tried a Double Muff once and regretted it.

A BASS Big Muff though? Now THAT's promising. My big battery/adapter-powered Russian box just might get recycled... I could keep it around for that agressive high end fuzz, but at a certain point it's just too big and inconvenient...

This bass Muff had better be darn good or I'm gonna get very frustrated. I wish I'd never sent in 8 warranty cards demanding bass-oriented effects - who would have thought they would spring them on us all at once like this?

The Double Muff has nothing to do with the Blogger at all, and few bassists even use (or like, for that matter :D) the Double Muff on bass, AFAIK.

Yeah I know the double muff is two muff fuzzes with no big muff in sight.

It's just that based on the Blogger's description, it's probably the least interesting (to me) of the three bass distortion pedals they just unveiled - different as they all are. If the BBM is priced in the same neighborhood as the blogger, I can see myself skipping the latter entirely.

Then again none of us have actually heard anything so for now I'm just saving...

I'm hoping that the toggle switch does what I think it does...
Change the tone knob from bass boost control, to normal tone knob, to a mix knob. :D

Aha! It would really be very nice if that was the case. If so, then EHX, I am sorry for moaning about the lack of blend.



Also, I emailed EHX to ask about whether or not these will work with an active bass (as the LBM is known to not work properly with active basses). I received a reply from a guy at EHX who didn't know, but said that he would find out and get back to me in a couple of days.

I was just at Electro-Harmonix's website. They had the Bass Big Muff, the Bass Blogger, and the Bass Metaphors up. There were no videos, but there were links to the owners' manuals. I tried to view the manuals but their site has gone down. At least I can't get to it anymore. Maybe they're updating it? These pedals weren't on there earlier today.

Who has said that the LBM is known to not work with active basses? IME (and the general consensus here, I thought) the LBM worked great with active basses!

Genius!

+2!

God love EHX. Every pedal I get from them I love just a little more -- had a green Russian Muff that I sold for a tidy profit on eBay, have been in love with my LBM thinking that my distortion quest was now over....

Can't wait for this one!

And FWIW, my LBM works fine with my active G&L ASAT.
