Escape Plan Pedals Mossy Bump

Good Old Fashioned Fuzziness

"what the hell is that thing?" "It's a Big Muff," he said. "A BIG MUFF?!? You've gotta be kidding me! Sold, I must have it!" I open the crate, and beneath a bed of wooden shavings (I kid you not) was a green, tank-looking pedal. I loaded up a battery and plugged it in. I was instantly in love. I kept that Sovtek Big Muff pedal through all my other gear changes and trades until 2005, when another big purchase cleaned me out - I got married and bought a house.

Does it sound exactly like my old Green Tank? I really can't remember to be honest, but when I jump into some of the riffs that I used to play all the time back then, it feels right. There's something just so...I don't know...90s about the sound of the pedal. This circuit was renowned for it's use with bass, but I've always preferred it with guitar. I find it to be a smoother fuzz than the current Big Muff Pi or the Little Big Muff. Each are great, just different flavors.
