- The GREATEST guitar pedal for an alternative/grunge sound... // I truly believe that you could make some amazing alternative/grunge music with just one Big Muff pedal! It's so good that my band have about 5 different versions of it.
Today we're going to look at what I think makes the Big Muff (the op amp big muff here) so special and I'll play some hap-hazard guitar riffs to demonstrate it. Let me know if there's a pedal that could take the crown off of this beauty in the comments.

“Dinosaur Jr, but written by your dad.” 😂
I guess I’m old cuz I loved it.
Hahaha cheers mate!
I loved it but I am not even adult yet.
Awesome sounds in there! For great Big Muff sounds I recommend to check out “Sorry!” by Catherine, a now forgotten Chicago band with ties to Smashing Pumpkins, they basically showed them the pedal.
Ahh awesome I’ll check them out. That sounds like something I wanna hear 🤘
I have 3 pedals, a big muff, a compression pedal, and a loop pedal. That just about does me for the music that I like to make
That sounds like a great setup dude!
How are you using the compression?
@@LawGone1compressing the big muff more maybe? Compression helps with recording, it gets picked up really well
I loved this video so much it’s nice to hear big muffs used in this way ❤
Thanks so much!
People underestimate the coolness of Dad Rock.
Loved this and the D Jnr vibes. Am a little obsessed with J Mascis right now. Subbed ❤
Thanks so much. he's great right!
I have the op amp big muff and in my band it makes such an impact and blends in so well while also sticking out
They’re so awesome aren’t they!
Real good stuff man, good pacing and knowledge! Definitely keen to see more!

Thanks Kris! ✌️
@@thesethingsmakenoises love the videos man!

Great first video fella. Look forward to seeing more.
Thanks mate!
I have the JHS modded op amp fuzz, and it's a beast! The knob for extra low mids really fills out the sound nicely.
That sounds sick! Bet that really helps.
Subbed, great little vid - can't wait for more!
Thanks mate! Moving forward they’re coming every Sunday at 6pm starting this week!
Hey, its not an opamp switch. Its for sure a bit confusing because the word "opamp" is right next to the tone bypass switch, but it has no transistors in the circuit. Its a tone bypass that the v5's used to bypass the tone section of the circuit.
Love the video dude, I love the big muff op amp, alongside with the ram's head reissue and the loomer workstation by Keeley, it's definitely my go-to Pedal for Shoegaze/alternative/grunge sound, I'm glad that own one
Ahh thanks so much! All awesome pedals 🙌
Love this and your big muff Dan.. well done mate 👍
Thanks mate!
Ha! The answer to the question in my head was waiting for me at the end of the video! 🔥 Love the format and your style. Just set a reminder for Sundays :)
Thanks so much Daria! That's really kind!
I’ve got both the ram’s head and op amp ones so I can switch between the pumpkins and dino sound and they’re my absolute favorite pedals on my board. Love how massive the sound is
Sick! I’ve been eyeing up the rams head for sure 🤘
Nice vid m8. I liked the Dinosaur Senior (citizen) riff at the end ;)
Haha thanks! I do love Dino Jr so much!
Great demo good sound and overall tone, good riff style for the muff as well, gotta get one
Cheers!!
Great work mate
Yeah, and then when your plan fail, you say it doesn’t work. Keep consistent pal.
Love that Dan !
Thanks mate!!
💜
I was wondering what muff to buy but this has sold me on the op amp
Also what tuning did you use on this video???
You won’t be disappointed!
Sorry it was my first one, so memory is a little hazy but I reckon probably Drop D
i love Big Muffs! I have the JHS Muffuletta that has six in one pedal. Muffs and Rats are my favorite dirt pedals.
That sounds awesome. Yeah they’re so good! The JPTRFX Warlow is essentially a muff and rat in one pedal!
Really wanna see more!
Thanks! Loads more to come. Main videos are coming out on Sundays at 5pm every week.
Live the video, just a quick thing when you said the pedal had an "Op Amp switch" this isn't true....
The Op Amp Big muff uses an "Op Amp/Operational Amplifier" instead of Transistors to amplifier and clip the Wave form which is what traditional big muffs use.
The switch on this pedal is actually a tone switch which is used to bypass/removed the tone control from the circuit.
So the whole idea of the Op Amp muff is the manner in which the distorted signal is produced is done by component type than the big box muff you have.
Try the Russian reissue it's heaven for grunge and hard rock, I'd never be without mine.
That’s well interesting thanks so much for the info! 🤘
@@thesethingsmakenoises no problem, didn't want to come across as "that guy" but rather you know what you're working with.
Google Kit Rae Big Muff and enjoy the site. Everything youd ever want to know about them
As I said above, I can't recommend the Russian reissue enough also the Rams Head which is what J Mascis uses. (The J Mascis signature rams head is the same as the standard with a different paint job)
@@whatsallthefuzzabout Na 100% welcome it. Ahh that’s interesting, I’ll check it out!!
ah lovely. i noticed the Whammy in the last vid. that was on my list once upon a time as well, but i ended up with the POG 2 instead.
Ahh can’t go wrong there! I’ve got a hog too and they’re awesome pedals aren’t they!
@@thesethingsmakenoises indeed. Haven't dug much into mine yet but was sold on the tracking reputation alone.
They sound great on their own, but Paired up with reverbs etc you can get some awesome sounds!
Dad Rock must mean something different than it did before....well, before I was a Dad.
Damn.
I'll get me coat.
Don’t worry all that other stuff is still dad rock too. Haha!
Do a review on the Boss DS-1!! I've been thinking about buying one of those :) What do these big muff pedals go for on the used market then?
I have one, and I think its coming up in one of the next vids! I think they're under £100 for sure!
Keep em coming
💪💪
Love mine.
nice one Dan!
Legends!
I gotta ask, why is there a D chord plastered on to your Op amp muff? I also have it, its actually the only one I have right now, thinking about getting another fuzz soon, maybe a nice Mk 2 Tone Bender.
Ahh! The other guys in my band thought it would be funny to stick on there to mock my playing haha! Mind you it’s probably not far from the truth.
That would be awesome! The JPTRFX fuzz pedals are amazing and absolutely wild if you’re looking for something like that!
@@thesethingsmakenoises Thanks for the suggestion, but I am just getting the parts together to make a clone of the 29 Pedals Euna, its basically a fancy buffer and if that goes well, I will probably just try to make my own Tone Bender. I have a really bad pedal habit, so I figured I could get more bang for my buck if I could build some of them lol
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Legend!
These can sound great set a lot of different ways. Turn down the guitar loudness and all the pedal knobs. Turn up the amps mids. Still sounds great, doesn't it?
Yeah they sound awesome in different ways for sure! ✌️
as a dad, I approve this muffage.
Haha 🤘🤘
Started subscribing to this channel because of this video and the 5 pedals for alternative rock/grunge. Was wondering what muff you would recommend for the more punk sound? Op Amp or a Regular Muff?
Sorry mate this comment was hidden. I think because of the word bigmuff haha. I think either will work, maybe the OP amp if I had the choice as I think it sounds slightly better in the mids.
Has dad rock come on a bit since I last checked or is my idea of dad rock now grandad rock? Yours, a dad.
Hahaha! Na the old dad rock is still the true dad rock.
i have this same pedal and its a beast!! i can never get a good tone out of it because its to muddy in our mix. do you have any tips on how you cleaned it up?
Hey! Look for my video called ‘why your favourite bands sound better…’ the thumbnail is Kurt cobain and Billy Corgan. I go through some tips to help!
I love this guy beautiful soul
✌️✌️
Can it play distortion as well or is it just a fuzz
Was that a green russian i saw? Wish youd have involved that one as well
I think it was the bass big muff. It’s green too. Off to a studio on Tuesday that has a Russian bigmuff so might get to give it a go!
Yeah baby
🤘🤘
MORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Haha YES! Don’t worry, there is going to be some JPTRFX pure filth tones coming asap!
Yeppie I have found you!
🙌🙌
Nice logo.
Thanks mate!
Nice vid
Thanks!!
Big muff 🎉
💪💪
Dad Rock. I am a Dad. Occasionally I rock. So yeah Dad Rock.
It’s the best kind of rock!
@@thesethingsmakenoises I reckon. 😗
FUZZ
The best!! 🤘
