"This is exactly the one I have, it sounds great and is true bypass. True bypass is the only way to get a clean sound when you chain tons of pedals. It is easy to do but seems a bit too costly for most manufacturers. Everything else like buffers is crap, you can read real good infos here: http://www.stinkfoot.se/andreas/diy/arti cles/bypass.htm"

"True bypass is a lot of hype. The only reason you want true bypass is if the effect has a low input impedance, and a higher output impedance.
This was the case with cheap effects back in the 70s, and they sucked your high end away.
But thats just not the case anymore. Sometimes its better to not have true bypass, since the pedal can buffer your signal chain for better tone.
Getting back to this Muff. I had the army green Sovtek, and it was nothing like the real Muffs fromthe 70s. It was too clean, and didnt have that liquid sustain tone. I hated it! Sold it on eBay and got more than I paid for it!"

"Im sorry Nick, but could you explain what "wooly" means? Does it refer to the graininess of the distortion?"

"This one is very similar to Green Big Muff. I just got one of the newer units and its not true bypass."

"Great Muff just as good as the current American one. It has a more low end and less of wooly tone to answer your question, Andras. I like it better than the current American one."

"the input is made of plastic. if you step on the phones input once while on stage it will break. i had to stick it with glue. not worth it if you want a sturdy muff.
it sounds good on bass."

"These Russian Sovetek Muffs are the newer generation, no more then 2000-2001... They Have a slighty more "Evil" sound, great with chorus&flange for getting that sickly transparent wall of sound!
P.S Listen to the guys on this board, its well worth it to MOD it for true bypass,and a volume boost:) happy Muffn"

"I had an original Muff in
77 and used it until the mid 80s I bought a black muff for half of what i bought the 1st
the sound is almost the same
and thats close enough for me since i only use it occasionally"
