People say digital is the way to go and you save so much money, downloading pedals, but there's something special about just stomping on a pedal straight into an amp with a real speaker.
I hate digital, I have a lot more fun with my pedals. Maybe I’m old n out of touch but how would that work in a live setting? Constantly clicking on the laptop?
I had a friend build me a black russian v7 clone with nos parts (4 kt3102em transistors). Changed the tone knob to boost mids rather than scoop and added a knob to select the frequency for the boost. Its one of my favorites that I own. Absolutely crushing tone that dooms for sure
I do the same thing with a stock russian v8 or a hizumitas running into a ground control noodles pedal (three band booster with switchable frequencies for each band) and it sounds incredible
So lucky to have a rams head and be able to really get close to David Gilmour's tones with my Tele. I love the Muff and the Rat in all their iterations. Man, you have a great channel. Russian muff is really great.
I bought my big muff and my sovtek mig 100 H at the same time. The big muff is the one pedal I've bought new and held on to. I wish someone with a guitar youtube channel would discover the mig 100 H already. The world needs to know.
Rick Beato showcased the Mig 100H in his rare gear video! "The best gear you've never heard of" That's where I heard about Sovtek, and I snagged a Mig 100U after watching that, cause I couldn't find an H, and I loved it. I use it and a Black Russian big box muff through it, and it rips.
I had a full sized muff in the early 2000s that I sold when the nano’s came out as I couldn’t deal with its massive size. But I definitely kept that wooden box and it still is where I keep my spare Allen keys and misc tools to this day. Never giving up that box lol they’re so rad
That is my favorite Muff by miles…I am pretty elderly and remember almost all of them from the early 70’s to present and this one is just perfect for stoner/doom which I was involved with back in the day…
So funny, we have identical stories! I started guitar in 93, loved Smashing Pumpkins, and remember reading they used a Big Muff and also didn’t know about the different versions. By the time I got around to buying mine though they had switched to the black case. I traded mine away ages ago but recently bought one used along with some other pedals I had or wanted back in the 90s/00s.
Thanks Fluff for bringing back memories for me. This was my first pedal, I knew nothing about effects but knew that I had heard of the Sovtek Big Muff Pi, and I assumed that it must be amazing so I got one. Turns out that I am more of a overdrive/distortion fan than a fuzz fan, and the one I had was always so clunky and the pots were so noisy, so it was no surprise that I didn’t keep it very long.
I bought a black & yellow Russian Big Muff new in 1999 for 45-50 GBP not knowing that there was a lot of different versions. The Russian ones are a bassist's dream I sold it for £250 with pine box about 5-6 years ago. I was so glad Line 6 added it to the Helix ecosystem
I bought the black one in the late 90’s for the same reason. I knew nothing about the op amp one Corgan used but quickly fell in love with the sound on guitar and bass. Your video got me to plug it in again and man is it good! A bit different sounding than the green one. Oh and I cannot for the life of me find one like mine online. It seems to have the knobs of one version with the script of another. If anyone sees this and has some knowledge of such things please reply! It’s black, has the cylindrical rubber foot pads, circular knobs and yellow script, 6 screws.
The first pedal I sought out and paid money for. Eventually, the switch and jacks were breaking on it. Not knowing better I sent it in to EHX to fix…they sent it back with modern guts. Didn’t sound anything like my pedal. For whatever my opinion is worth this one is more distortion-like than the Civil War, and clearer than the Black Russian that came after. (plays better with a band). If you can find one, the B.Y.O.C. Little Beaver is the best clone I’ve played of it. Wren and Cuff also do some great stuff (I prefer their Civil War). Good video, enjoyed it
Love that pedal. Used one into a Fender Hot Rod DeVille back in the 90's. Great sound. You can hear a LFO (low frequency oscillation) at high distortion settings.
Dude. In the 90's I lived in a big house full of musicians and weirdos in Tacoma, and one was heavy into stoner rock(Dickies jackets and work pants, Chucks, the whole thing). He put this crazy, paisley cloth, Randall half-stack and a Big Muff in the living room and I would crank it when no one else was around. Goddamn! I wrote some killer drop D riffs that I still jam today. Flippin' awesome tone! - Up 'yer dumper!
The newer Green Russian is VERY good! I was looking for one of those 90's Green Russian but damn the prices was insane!! After comparing many video's between the "new" pedal, it sounded great!
I bought this version of the muff in 1994 for $59 and the matching Small Stone phaser along with it for a similar price. I used the SS a lot and the Big Muff very little. In fact it ended up on my bass player's board for years. Then ebay was invented. I sold the Muff for $300 to a cool woman in Australia. I hope she and her muff are doing well.
Had one of these sovtek bubble fonts though mine was black. Loved it. When ehx put out the reissue years ago, I bought one and it was the same thing but with proper bypass so I sold the sovtek. I do miss the absurd size of the sovtek.
I got mine at Guitar Center, new in the box, for $57, circa 1997. No, I don't want your $800. I'll be keeping this one for life, for obvious reasons. Thing is siiick.
My first fuzz was a Black Russian, new from guitar center, still came in the pine box. Classic sound, but today I prefer the ic version of the circuit. Keeley Suns being the best IC variant currently made, imho.
Ironically I have the same story I loved the smashing pumpkins so much I didn’t know the differences between all the different big muffs but I got a Russian green and had a Fender Strat and I was ready to play cherub rock. I have a love for that pedal it was my first fuzz. I only had an electric mistress, ds-1, wah, and my big muffin pi into a fender blues junior.
Hell yeah. 😁 All this story sounds very familiar. Actually, while I was impressed with the “Siamese Dream” tones back then, I had no idea it was some kind of Muff. Indeed, I only knew I was listening to lots of cool, fuzzy tones, so I marched into a shop looking for a fuzz box - and, obviously, once I discovered this giant, green anti-tank device in a wooden box (sealed with a weird lead blob!) labelled “BIG MUFF”, well, that was obviously the one for me. 😎 Mine is a “Tall Font”, supposedly much like the preceding “Civil War” version … but the component tolerances must make the sounds on any of these things vary considerably - especially after 30+ years! I still have mine and love it, though the box disappeared in one intercontinental move or another, and of course lots of the notoriously bad paint has flaked off. 😂 But it’s modded to take a power adapter, and I recently replaced the (slightly unusual) LED, and it still sits, hulking on my board, boosted with the same Boss GE-7 from back in the day (which helps with the infamous mids issues). Noisy as hell 😂 especially when boosted, so it’s now all wrapped in a 4-cable noise-gate loop … but it sounds great! 😎
They were around $70 new, I went through a ton of the black sovteks in the late 90's, as the pots would break easily as well as the switches. I still have my green v7, but lost the box decades ago.
Cool stuff bro! My first "real" distortion pedal was a Boss Heavy Metal. I'd had a TS & 250 someone gave me, (this was the mid 80s) I wasn't impressed with them, wish I still had em now. But the HM-2 blew the speaker on my little Peavey and within a week! Didn't really care, though. 😄 You also reminded me that Fender had a big promo with Jeff Beck using the new Lace Sensors on his new CD, Guitar Shop.
Every time I see one of those I immediately think of Dan Auerbach from The Black Keys since he used that Russian version on all the Keys’ early material (Look up The Black Keys’ Rig Rundown from Premier Guitar and you’ll see it on his board) and he gets some of the best fuzz tones I’ve ever heard, also on a similar note to what Fluff was saying at the beginning I also got my first Big Muff back in 2016 when I was 17 and the band I was in at the time was going to be playing Today by the Smashing Pumpkins and I wanted to get that same guitar tone since it sounded so cool to me and I still have mine thanks to Billy Corgan (and other guys like David Gilmour (who had the Ram’s Head version, which I bought a last year and I still love), Jack White and Dan Auerbach like I mentioned before). The Big Muff is still one of my absolute favourite guitar pedals and I love its versatility since you can get so much out of it, great demo as always, man
You spent some money to get that one in that condition. Really nice copy man. I bought my NYC In 94 and could have gotten the Green for same 89 bucks. Still have the NYC in it’s wooden box and it aint worth a third of the green.
This is just my neard obsession, at the controls it’s sad distortion on the new it’s written sustain , so if you see a used one you know what you’re getting.
If you're a fan of anime, specifically FLCL Fooly Cooly, this is the main sound of The Pillows on that soundtrack, that and a blues driver into an orange amp
This was the second pedal I got, the first one that was new. unfortunately it was DOA out of the box, the battery clip was disconnected and who knows what else, I ended up returning it and exchanging it for a big box black russian muff, which I still have and sounds awesome. I do with I had kept the green muff though and knew enough to fix it.
I have the nano green and it’s pretty good. You should check out the sandwich fuzz from Effects Bakery. It’s cute but it’s cheap and has a really great open sound to it.
Billy used the op amp big muff. I don’t hear this one as scooped. Always felt more mids personally. But meh. I never keep a muff around. I always thought they sounded terrible in my hands.
A friend of mine has one of these, and I have the reissue, so I did a side-by-side comparison. They sound VERY close. I did like the original one slightly better, but it feels so fragile compared to the reissue, I wouldn't trust it on my board.
As a bass player Russian Big Muffs have been a part of my life for 25+years now. The O.G.s suffer from the worst bypass I have ever dealt with. Have a real bubble font that is just a show piece, still sucks tone if you set up too close to it. Thats how hard the bypass blows. The ehx nano reissue is fantastic. Stands up to the plethora of boutique copies I have wasted countless dollars on. Btw…. Just snagged a two notes le bass and I am finding the voiceover work very familiar on the official promo vid.
@ that was overly dry humor insinuating that you don’t even need to plug in to it, just set up near it for it to suck tone. Anybody using one these on a board doesn’t actually understand how inconsistent and unreliable they are/were. Especially when ehx makes a true-bypass, normal sized reissue with real power connections.
I know they're not gonna pay you but it would be cool to get into some Metasonix gear - Trent Reznor and others have used their gear to push the envelope of what's expected right into unhinged.
I have one (played it many a show.. Troubadour, Billboard Live on Sunset, etc) and I think you have an anomaly maybe? Mine is the "plastic battery cover" version and my inputs are standard. Maybe you have one worth 5k ;) And yes, I still have the box "She haaaas the boooox!".
I had the exact same pedal too, bought around the same time (early '90s) and I also loved AND hated it! It has since mysteriously disappeared, but I've been tempted to buy one just for the nostalgia. Was it a "great" pedal? Meh. But it was fun as a teenager to annoy my bandmates with!
I had one of these... and wait.... wait for it.... I had it modded by Ron Neely II (The "EH Man" and EH expert of the late 90's early 2000's) to triangle specs (his "hairpie" mod) and gave it away before a move. I repeat, had it MODDED and gave it away. In my defense I had bought a '73 ram's head. A "real" one. Oh, dudeitsmeee, what a dumbass you were. The pedal did go to a good person...
People say digital is the way to go and you save so much money, downloading pedals, but there's something special about just stomping on a pedal straight into an amp with a real speaker.
Plus digital has a very hard time getting fuzz pedals right.
On top of that you can make a fuzz pedal for like $8.@@michaelsnydermusic
I hate digital, I have a lot more fun with my pedals. Maybe I’m old n out of touch but how would that work in a live setting? Constantly clicking on the laptop?
@@doktorfellatio438 I use he line 6 helix and it’s literally built like a pedal board. No computer necessary.
Amen to this!
It's a completely different experience, even on an emotional level, in my opinion.
Analog just gives you 'more' in general.
That's an actual clean tone!
I dreamed of days like this...
I had a friend build me a black russian v7 clone with nos parts (4 kt3102em transistors). Changed the tone knob to boost mids rather than scoop and added a knob to select the frequency for the boost. Its one of my favorites that I own. Absolutely crushing tone that dooms for sure

Wait I’ll make that. Fluff hmu

Thanks Fluff. 7:16 The pickups in that position sound perfect.
Love my modern EHX Russian big muff nano, so cool to see how the og big box version sounds. Excellent video as always Fluff!
I had a full sized muff in the early 2000s that I sold when the nano’s came out as I couldn’t deal with its massive size. But I definitely kept that wooden box and it still is where I keep my spare Allen keys and misc tools to this day. Never giving up that box lol they’re so rad

Outstanding, Comrade! Thank you for this wonderful trip back in time. [Z]
My 90s heart just grew three sizes :). I had the small stone tooo!!
They real nailed the soviet aesthetic by making them break for no reason.
I'm from an ex soviet country and I approve this message
I had this one ! I loved it so much I made a clone. Now it’s been almost 25 years I play a Green russian Big Muff.
I always thought it was sweet of EXH/Sovtek to give us a stash box with our fuzz pedals.
*jingle
"He has the box!"
Thanks Josh!

Never thought about it but yeah that was definitely then Double Plaidinum Lagwagon tone. Damn, now I am going to have to get that version of a Muff

My first pedal encounter was a Big Muffin back in ‘79.
Wow, just listened to some tracks from Lagwagon’s Double Plaidinum and those guitars do indeed sound like Sovtek muffs are involved.

This is one of those pedals you let your friend borrow and never get back. I still have the wooden box from the 1997's.
I grew up with the NYC reissue, but the Russian variants were always what I wanted, sustain all the way up, tone at 2 o’clock, for me that’s the sound
"Direct from Mother Russia;" I still remember the blurb. 😂
I love the sovtek Big Muff and the Army Green was my favorite too. And the Smashing Pumpkins song in drop D would be Drown
Drown is an amazing song
if you wanna be really nerdy, this is a v7C Bubble Font muff. The big box black russian (v7D) has the same circuitry and is usually way cheaper.
Somebody stole mine after a gig in 1998. Still have the box. The green reissue sounds just like it.
The pine box was my weed tin for many years
V4 Big Muff = Smashing Pumpkins
V7 Big Muff = Sleep/Truckfighters
The ‘bubble font’ BMP is the best of the Sovtek made Muffs. Nothing beats the V1 through V5 Muffs though.
Every time I see one of those I immediately think of Dan Auerbach from The Black Keys since he used that Russian version on all the Keys’ early material (Look up The Black Keys’ Rig Rundown from Premier Guitar and you’ll see it on his board) and he gets some of the best fuzz tones I’ve ever heard, also on a similar note to what Fluff was saying at the beginning I also got my first Big Muff back in 2016 when I was 17 and the band I was in at the time was going to be playing Today by the Smashing Pumpkins and I wanted to get that same guitar tone since it sounded so cool to me and I still have mine thanks to Billy Corgan (and other guys like David Gilmour (who had the Ram’s Head version, which I bought a last year and I still love), Jack White and Dan Auerbach like I mentioned before).

Fluff n' Muff !
The switch looks like the old windshield wiper that was on the floor is some older American cars!!!!!
Gotta do the MBV thing with these and put an old Alesis Quadraverb in after and wash it right out with reverb
I always picture you living somewhere in Wisconsin 🍻
Have you ever played a Sovtek MiG 50 amp? I wanted one back in the late 80's
I have the nano green and it’s pretty good. You should check out the sandwich fuzz from Effects Bakery. It’s cute but it’s cheap and has a really great open sound to it.
I have the V6 Civil War version. Love it to this day. I compared it to 8 other v6 and v7 Muffs and it won't. Got the box too. :)
I have one in mint condition and original wood box. Traded a Park ss practice amp for it. Remember those son of marshall ads.
Billy used the op amp big muff. I don’t hear this one as scooped. Always felt more mids personally. But meh. I never keep a muff around. I always thought they sounded terrible in my hands.
Sovtek mentioned!
i have an original wooden box but no pedal. the box sounds good but not the same as the pedal.
Nice, how about one on JHS VCR pedal that beck had on his pedalboard
Is this the same as the Wren and Cuff Tall Font Russian?
Backstock barnfind right there
A friend of mine has one of these, and I have the reissue, so I did a side-by-side comparison. They sound VERY close. I did like the original one slightly better, but it feels so fragile compared to the reissue, I wouldn't trust it on my board.
Cool Muff tones but my favorite is still the Muff tones from the 70s.
That's the wood box for the Black Russian. So you do not have the box for your bubble font muff.
As a bass player Russian Big Muffs have been a part of my life for 25+years now. The O.G.s suffer from the worst bypass I have ever dealt with. Have a real bubble font that is just a show piece, still sucks tone if you set up too close to it. Thats how hard the bypass blows. The ehx nano reissue is fantastic. Stands up to the plethora of boutique copies I have wasted countless dollars on. Btw…. Just snagged a two notes le bass and I am finding the voiceover work very familiar on the official promo vid.
Have you tried a loop switcher?
@ that was overly dry humor insinuating that you don’t even need to plug in to it, just set up near it for it to suck tone.

Love the pedal but we gotta be honest about the size. It’s really the Too Big Muff these days.
L7 power chords
I had one of these... and wait.... wait for it.... I had it modded by Ron Neely II (The "EH Man" and EH expert of the late 90's early 2000's) to triangle specs (his "hairpie" mod) and gave it away before a move. I repeat, had it MODDED and gave it away. In my defense I had bought a '73 ram's head. A "real" one. Oh, dudeitsmeee, what a dumbass you were. The pedal did go to a good person...
That's right, minions. That's a 'pedal', not a plugin... Now plug it into a real amp with a real 4x12 cab.
These were regarded as junk when they came out, funny what time does… I had the IC one, I think this one sounds better?
First!!!
