[@faed4445]

Hi Marty, you've taught me a LOT of songs and I wanted to thank you for that. But I was wondering what are the songs you're playing? (In order from first to last) I really enjoyed this vid btw thanks!

I got mine from a house my dad was renovating due to fire damage. He was throwing out pretty much everything in their house because of fire damage and they got rid of a peavey amp and one of these with no damage whatsoever. No idea why they did that but we're happy.

[@christopherburnett1745]

Big Muff Pi was my first pedal.... and probably still my favorite! Great video!

[@nathanshervheim4611]

I didn't realize how usable a fuzz pedal was. Might need to raise that a little bit on my dream pedal list...

[@vexguine]

Its amazing what you can do with a fuzz and a wah only. The guitarrists of the golden era (to me) 1965-1975 always relied on these two pedals. Clapton on Cream, Page on Yardbirds/early Zep, Hendrix.... After testing, testing and testing all kinds of guitars, amps and pedals, i'm conviced: 1) a les paul, 2) a marshall cooking, 3) a vox wah and 4) a fuzz (face or muff, you chose). Nothing more.

[@andrewbmartin]

audio technica came out with a remake, it’s called the op-amp big muff

[@marcopervo]

Jeff Beck’s distortion on “Shapes of Things” was a revelation.

[@ramencurry6672]

It’s a terrible and cheesy pedal. However, if properly used, it can sound smooth like how Gilmour uses it and in modern jazz

[@abelramirez7320]

Nothing beats a good fuzz through Strats and Jazzmasters.

[@Happylink75]

A fuzzy univox is better imo

[@blakeliberi3681]

Literally nothing beats it. Or a Jaguar

I finished building myself a fuzz face clone circuit. Well almost clone, with positive power, different transistors, and trimmers to bias the transistors. Now I’m just binging about fuzz pedals on KZbin.

Marty, I have watched and shared your muff so many times its crazy! I have shared it with sever of my friends (we are in our mid 60s). Fantastic man, thank you so much!

[@thewildoutcasts6777]

Man this pedal is awesome

[@arcanics1971]

I have the nano version. It's my favourite pedal for just sitting down and having a blast. I rarely use it for any of my real songs but it would still be the one pedal I would want on a desert island.

[@robotycznerecords6290]

One of few videos with big muff over huge riffs. That's what it's for. Much appreciated.

Very cool vid, thanks. Allways thought that is a very cool pedal and got my russian edition today - horray! :)
