A lot of features

Zero the Hero 12.01.2020

You get a lot for your money.
It's a big muff! No surprises here.
It's very very tweakable and has a lot of faces.

Plays good with single coils and humbuckers.
No cons.

Incredible

IsaiahL 07.11.2022

I bought this instead of the Bass Big Muff Deluxe since I play both guitar and bass (and the Sovtek had the same blend function as the bass one).

It is all, and more, what I've ever wanted from a big muff... It's bassy, but at the same time you got the wicker, tone and the mid freq. to dial it in real treble-y. I love this pedal on guitar, I haven't found a bad tone yet, but it really shines on bass for me and it is my main bass fuzz atm.

The blend is absolutely amazing, I like to keep it on 50/50 or 30/70 (clean/fuzz) in order to get enough of that punch through. But, the thing is, when you're thinking "ah well, now the fuzz is too much in the background" - and the sound gets muddy; hammer that mids-switch!

So even with the tone at like 9-10 o' clock, you can dial in your mids beautifully without losing any low-end. There's even an input for an exp. pedal which I haven't tried yet, more experimenting to be done for sure. But I love it.

Old school muff sounds

SGStandard 09.01.2019

This sounds and feels very much like an old school muff. Plenty of volume grit and gain. Does not have the same creamy feel though, but close. The mid-boost works wonders for leads.

Wonderful

ChrisF62 07.10.2025

2d in my signal chain followed by a buffer. While I was dialing it in, I found that you want to make only small adjustments getting to where you're going. I borrowed the M-Audio EX-P Expression Pedal ( €14,90 @ Thomann) from my keyboard and it served well as an expression pedal for this effect. Not useful enough for me to maintain that configuration though. This pedal has been on the market for over a decade. It's just that good!!
