DEMO [Vero] Big Muff - Russian - altoids

[owlexifry]

after building the kewpie fuzz, damn was i hooked, not just with the sound, but the whole BMP evolution, so I fell down a big muff rabbit hole and was compelled to build another one.

ive done a handful of altoids builds before, but never with top jacks.
always kinda scoffed at top jack layouts as unnecessary, adding complexity and undesirable additional length to I/O jack leads.
nowadays, things have changed a bit.

i decided it was time:
1) fit a big muff in an altoids tin
2) do it with top jacks

found a nice compact vero layout from harold sabro, and went with a green russian / civil war version.

yep, it fits.


pretty stoked with this lil guy


im not very good at fuzz demos.
already attempted one recently with the kewpie fuzz.
so i took this one to band practice and got the bass player to have a go at it.

yep. it dooms.

My favorite muff for bass. Extra points for the chicklets caps, too.

seems to be a popular one for bass, but i was still surprised at how well it worked, even with the sustain cranked.
always down for the chicklets if i can fit them

I've been using mine almost solely with cranked gain for like 30 yrs. Big 'n' nasty.

heck yes.
30 yrs?! that'd have to be a genuine original big box

The husk is my proof.
