Green Russian Big Muff

Product Information

Little Big Muff sounds very similar to the NYC reissue described above, but a bit brighter and a bit less bottom end to the sound. Built in a compact diecast box and powered by 9V. As on the previous Civil War version, a hand drawn/painted serial number appears on some of the circuit boards, though this is rare. I believe these are actual sequential numbers of the units as they were made. It is unlikely the number is sequential for the entire production of this version. The numbering was more likely repeated monthly or annually, or possibly repeated with each color or graphics change. Apparently the practice was discontinued for the second edition Green Russian, and all Russian Muffs that followed. Depite theirpopularity, Electro Harmonix's iterations of the Big Muff have always remained affordable. With most models featuring a versatile tone knob that can take you from doomy sub-harmonic tones to searing high-end, they also boast sustain and volume controls. The transistorized version of the Muff Fuzz, but now in a standard size pedal. Later, Electro Harmonix modified the circuit by replacing the transistors with an op-amp. 1973 – Big Muff Pi (V2)

Matthew Holl of Wren and Cuff is a Muff expert, and the Caprid is his tribute to the coveted early 70s Ram’s Head Muffs. He referenced four versions of the circuit and combined what he believed to be the best parts of each to create this replica. Even the circuit board and the enclosures are the exact same design as the classic versions. It also happens to look just incredible. After 1979 Version 6, Big Muff returned to production in New York again. The circuit designed by Bob Myer, it has some variants with slightly modified circuit, and the first edition circuit board was marked EC3003 and used four 2N5088 transistors, powered by 9V.Shown above - First edition V7 Tall Font Green Russian Big Muff with the ridged-side box.
