[@WeAsACompany]

Well, do you have a favorite one? Let's start the discussion.

[@nastamasterx]

YesS! Awesome video!! Mine is the OpAmp! Got it a few weeks and it just arrived to help me pass the time during covid-19 times! And a shout out to your PXL-8! I have one, too, in purple!!

[@JayWater]

Nice video.. I like the Rams head

[@WeAsACompany]

@@nastamasterx Thx man, love my PXL-8, I think has the best value/money ratio among the switcher. I hope they'll improve with a version with 8 switchers instead of four.

[@WeAsACompany]

@@JayWater Well, I had another muff on my board, I had the T-73 you can ear in this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/mYjRfoWXhc2rg6M. Now I have a Ram's Head on my board. I think I'll do a more accurate comparison between the two of them.

[@JL-mu9sl]

No talking, no wanking, and no bullshitting. Just a dynamic loop. GREAT JOB!

[@WeAsACompany]

Thx!

[@AlexSoutheyMusic]

I know this is an incredible demo. Subbed to the channel after just a few mins when I realised this is what it'd be.

[@phantasmagora6542]

Triangle: Fuzzy high end, a bit reminiscent of a Fuzz Face. Great for sustained 60's-esque solos. Ram's Head: Bold, loud, and articulate. Great for singing lead lines and complex chord work. Green Russian: Huge low end and lots of mids. Great for heavy riffing. Op-Amp: Raspy, chainsaw texture with Tone Bypass switch for added versatility. Great for overall aggressive guitar work.

[@elonmush4793]

Everything at noon: 0:39 Ram 1:14 Russian 1:50 Triangle 2:26 OpAmp

[@WeAsACompany]

Thx for the time stamps.

[@nathanielautomaton]

After watching a dozen Big Muff comparisons, glad I found this one…wish I'd had seen it first and saved some time. Was originally leaning towards Green Russian or Triangle but I'm finally sold on the Ram's Head. Excellent video, thanks for making and sharing.

[@WeAsACompany]

Thx a lot for your comment!

[@chipcaronte]

How did this end? 3 years ago now... What happened? Asking 'cause I'm interested in the russian for now. I think I canbuse it's darkness to tame single coils mids.. Maybe... Don't really know.

[@junomoon9945]

I keep coming back to this video to hear that guitar riff, it just fits the big muffs perfect sounds amazing!!!!

OP, thanks for taking the time to make this video. I found it until today and it's not only a well thought and well put video but it inspired a ton of comments. Comments full of knowledge and experiences which I appreciate. Thanks truly! You're the BIG MUFF MVP!

[@javvieh]

I bought the Rams Head today and holy crap it is the sound I have been wanting for years but didnt know where to find

This is the best and most helpful Big Muff comparison video I've seen online. Thank you for doing this service!

[@WeAsACompany]

Thx a lot man!

[@kingofpentacles3213]

Best comparison video by far! I can see now that they can all sound different, but can also all sound very similar with the right settings. I think overall I like the Triangle the best. It seems to have the smoothest fuzz out of the four. Thanks! 👍🏻

Extremely useful shootout! Glad to see the shoutout to the Pedal Bored in the descriptions, since the setup reminded me a lot of their videos, in its very scientific method. :)

[@WeAsACompany]

Thx a lot. We're huge fans of the Pedal Bored, we hope he will start making demos again very soon. The only thing we've added is a switcher, in this way we're 100% sure that the pedals are not affecting each other.

[@veryhappy2681]

Wow very helpful! Great job ! Thank you ! Rams head is the winner!

[@deepfocus888]

I remember I went in the local shop and tried the Rams, the Russian and OpAmp. Ended up with the Op, but I was totally biased cuz Smashing Pumpkins. I'd say I am not a huge fuzz fan...would normally prefer something with some metal bite to it. That said, I use the Pumpkin Pi like 85% of the time I want something distorted. This was an amazing shoot out thanks for taking the time to do this.

[@zelcanada]

This was a great demo! I'm looking into my first fuzz, and this really helped me figure out which suits me best! Way to go

Thx a lot man!

[@franniefromvenice]

My personal favorite is the green Russian, I have it and I use it on both my les Paul and my bass. It sounds huge and dark, and I love it

[@carolinehaf21]

Thank you for this style (also used by pedal bored everyone should sub to them as well!) and using a riff that showed both the low and high end at the same time so we could hear how much of the low end was still sustaining while the higher notes were being played and them how much definition the high notes had... actually really important for a rhythm player. 👏👏

[@WeAsACompany]

Thx a lot for your comment.

[@BobParticleBeam]

So glad I found this vid. I'm in the market for a quality Fuzz. I was leaning towards the Green Russian, but I'm sold on the Rams Head now. But hey lets be honest, they all sound fantastic to my ears. Many thanks for the upload Dude...👍

[@deanbradley5499]

This is how you do a pedal comparison. Thank you!

[@chayseblack4162]

I’m quite amazed at how great these sounded. I know they’re being captured directly into the DAW program, but even still. It may have been the fact I was using Fender amps in the beginning and they’re already kind of mid scooped, but I’ve owned a few of these reissues and they didn’t sound anywhere near these variants. I’ve went and modded all of them to my liking at the time. Now I’m playing an old 1978 Peavey Deuce VT tube amp and I might have to break the Muff train out and see how they sound. I will say that I’d love to see every Muff circuit or variant reissued in the classic big box enclosures. Even the OpAmp Muff, it could totally reside in an awesome classic Muff big box that had a great and thick orange border that had the classic Muff letter font. I think they were onto something there with such large enclosures. Bigger pedals obviously equal a better and bigger tone. Also, absolutely fantastic video. I really dig it. Though I will say that if I went out and bought myself a Muff like one of these especially after watching this vid, I’d be a little underwhelmed and disappointed because this recording was phenomenal and really made the Muff variants sound great.

[@the-np4mr]

Man if they reissued these in big boxes I'd be even poorer than I am now

[@CoenBijpost]

Mike Matthews has said himself, that every component change was always done to make the muffs sound alike with a new replacement component when old components were hard or expensive to come by. So they might be a little different, especially in the sweep of the controls, but they can be made to sound alike quite a lot.

[@WeAsACompany]

Exactly! The extremes are where they can sound very different. But if you dial them with a "classic" setting che can be very, very similar.

[@soundmapper]

This is exactly what I took away from this comparison. They can all sound the same if you want them to, and different if you want them to, too.

[@MrEpic-lf4gn]

@@soundmapper I wouldn't say that based on the result of listening to a KZbin video. For example, I had to sell Green Russian because of the excessive amount of low frequencies in this pedal. There were very, very many of them. Although when watching different videos, it seemed to me that he sounded the best of all )

[@maxrockatansky8399]

Great video comparison, having the looper going is the best way to demo several pedals like this. Ram's Head was my favorite, Russian in close second

[@WeAsACompany]

Thx a kit for your comment!

[@adamsoergel6137]

I used to own the Green Russian and had to sell it because it never worked with my setup. This comparison is very helpful! I now see that the Op Amp Muff is the one for me. Thank you!

[@WeAsACompany]

Thx a lot for your comment. Let us know if the OP amp suits your rig better.

[@chipcaronte]

Why didn't the russian work with your setup?

[@tomz1989]

Owned the green muff and still own the op one. The Russian is a dark wall of sound, which sounds menacing at your home, but disappears into mix at rehearsal room. Kept for long time the op amp which cuts brilliantly the mix. Now my go-to fuzz is the hoof by eqd. It's just the fuzz to rule em all. Never looked back since. PS : the best OP AMP setting (you missed unluckly) is TONE OFF and SUSTAIN AT AROUND 2 o'CLOCK

[@WeAsACompany]

Thx a lot man! I agree, with the Opamp and the Russian you can cover pretty much everything muff-oriented.

[@Zwidawurzn]

Great, i already have the Green Russian and the big box USA Big Muff, now i want an Op-Amp aswell^^

[@WeAsACompany]

Muffs are never enough! ;)

Great job man, congrats! Great comparison, would like to hear more of the opamp sound with eq disengaged. They are all great pedals with unique characteristics, the triangle and ram are damn near identical. I reaaaally like the extra meat of the opamp tough. I'll just grab the one that my local shop has on stock! Cheers

[@WeAsACompany]

Hi man, thx a lot for your comment. Good advice on the op-amp, we may do another video at some point cause we just scratched the surface with these. Ram's and Triangle are very similar but slightly different too. The Ram has more output and a little bit more string definition at high gain. The Triangle has a little bit more gain at the very top and is just a touch more focused on mids.

[@oliverschmidt4831]

well done!

[@WeAsACompany]

THX!

I was down to the Green Russian or the Op Amp but that Ram's Head...awesome vid!

Thx

[@ThePedalBored]

Great comparison, and thanks for the shoutout in the description 😀 Nice to see the Ram’s Head in the mix - maybe if they bring out a Civil War one I’ll redo mine with all six (or seven, if I include the Bass Muff again). The switcher is a great touch. For me it was a balance between appeasing people who go on about buffering/tone-suck from multiple pedals when I wasn’t able to really hear the difference, and the downside of having a big ol’ switcher using up valuable screen real estate. Subscribed!

[@WeAsACompany]

Thx a lot for your comment, much appreciated. This channel wouldn't exist if it weren't for you. Agree on the switcher, now we're using it but is never on the screen. Not super easy cause we need to shot the video on two cameras and then remove one. Anyway, really can't wait for your next video. KZbin is missing you!

I've tried these plus many, many more--Aguilar, Mooer, Walrus, SolidGold FX, Mojohand, Hartke (crap), MXR, Duality, Aftershock, Big Muff Pi, Pickle(s), etc, etc. The Aguilar puts out awesome fuzz sound but it is such a noisy pedal that it's unusable. Taken all around, the Green Russian is the best, most versatile, and effective bass fuzz I've found. I'm not particularly an EHX fan, but thanks for ending the search, EHX.

[@mattier3030]

Very tough call, leaning towards rams head, triangle , Russian, op

[@WeAsACompany]

Ram's Head is very versatile.

[@DarthEcoli]

Go Ram's head for shizzle. I have the Op amp muff, but finally test drove a Ram's head last week and found I prefer it. As We As A Company said, it's versatile and has great output. Or . . . . . option 2 is get a JHS Muffaletta with EVERY version of the muff on one pedal.

[@brianrollins7275]

@@WeAsACompany is it true the ram’s head is better suited for Marshall amps?

[@JustJoshing4L]

I'm trying to get into other styles of music again besides just modern metal genres, and have never owned or even used a fuzz pedal before. This helped narrow it down quite a bit for me. Especially after typing in "fuzz pedal" on Sweetwater and seeing like a billion different big muff variants haha. It's either the ram's head or op-amp for me. Most likely the ram's head for the versatility in sound. Thanks a ton for this video!

[@peetminer]

What do you think?

[@MrFuzzleupagus]

@@peetminer It sounds great, but it’s definitely noisy in my current signal chain. (There’s no noise if I use it as a stand alone.) It may be because of the combination of buffered and unbuffered pedals on my board. I’m slowly acquiring newer ehx pedals and I’ve built a board exclusively for them, so I’m hoping the noise issue with it ceases. Other than that, it’s sounds amazing.

[@peetminer]

[@nathanbernhardt6807]

I love my OP-amp muff. It is the perfect balance of fuzz and distortion. I decided to get another muff since I love EHX. I tried the Green Russian and the Rams Head at my local guitar shop. After playing the Rams Head for two minutes I bought it. I use the op amp for rhythm and the Rams Head for lead. I'm love having two muffs on my pedal board.

[@WeAsACompany]

Great choice man. Muffs are never enough! ;)

[@impasceticfinalp2923]

Why stop at 2?

Do you stack them for your lead tone or turn off the op amp and engage the rams head

[@nathanbernhardt6807]

@@ernestofelix6906 I only run one big muff at a time. For my lead tone I use a tubescreamer in front of the Rams head muff. After that I'll throw in a bit of reverb and delay.

[@bri-fihacksaw7215]

I have the Russian with JHS Moscow Mod and the Ram’s Head with Alchemy Audio Mid Mod and they both just kill and will cut through any mix. I’ll be getting the Op Amp and Triangle soon, probably unmodded

[@kevinkinnu341]

Nothing better than a Big Muff. Any of them

[@DarthEcoli]

Op amp for my money all day long, literally! The Rams head and Triangle weren't yet released when I was trying to decide between the op amp and Russian, but Op amp won. Rams head would be my second choice, but still and yet, op amp wins to me for reasons you said in the caption. To me, it's the most defined and cuts though anything you throw at it nicely, and as you say, more mids. I stack mine with a Soul Food to tighten it up a bit.

[@WeAsACompany]

Agree, IMHO the only little issue with the Op-Amp is the output level.

[@DarthEcoli]

@@WeAsACompany Yeah. Output could be higher on those, and since my comment was made, a couple weeks ago when I bought a JHS Angry Charlie V3, I also finally test drove a Ram's head and actually prefer it! Output is not a problem the Ram's head possesses. Great sounding muff and wanted to buy it with the Angry charlie.

[@elkcibdej]

Thanks for this demo! I was leaning Russian, but the direct comparison has me leaning toward the rams head. It seems like it has a wider frequency range than the more compressed Russian muff.

[@jimcamp2423]

The Triangle was the first of the bunch, it's the 1969 Fuzz original. The Rams Head came out in 1973. Not sure about the Op Amp, but I think that's even later1970's also, it's the pedal of Smashing Pumpkins Siamese Dream. The Russian Green is 1994. And the current Big Muff showed up 1980ish as it's been around for 40 years.

[@WeAsACompany]

Thx a lot for the insights.

[@MrFuzzleupagus]

I believe the Op amp was introduced in ‘78.

[@mathiasohlson6265]

Great review! Helps a lot although still hard to decide. The tune is a bit nagging. Then it got stuck in my head. Now I used for my own Looper + A/B testing...

[@MyersJMark]

Huge fan of the Russian. I’m usually playing fender guitars and fender amps and like a particularly sparkly bright clean tone. Having that extra darkness helps a lot, for my anyways!

[@WeAsACompany]

Thx for the comment! yep, if you're looking for darker tones the Russian is the way to go.

[@salopro86]

I feel the same, I'm usually playing a fender jag thru a vox ac30 and, while I haven't personally tested out the Triangle or Ram's Head (and wasn't too thrilled with the Opamp sound) the Green Russian is a great counterbalance to the bright, chimey Vox/Jag tone. Plus, in terms of presence and saturation, it puts my once beloved standard full-sized NYC muff to shame. And the Green Russian running thru the rhythm circuit on the Jag...it's like a beast that will eat your children. And I mean that in the best way.

[@mattgilbert7347]

Yeah, if using a Fender or Vox, the Green Russian is a winner. The other 3 work well with a Marshall-y style amp. I have a couple of Laneys and a Bassbreaker15 , the Ram's Head kills through those. GR into my AC15 or Strauss SVT-15 (it's basically a Blues jnr with a 10" Eminence) is awesome.

[@mattgilbert7347]

My favorite guitar/Muff/amp combination atm is Epiphone SG (heavily modified, pups upgraded to Duncan P90 'Buckers) > Wren & Cuff Box of War V1 > Vox AC15 C1 stock w/Greenback. So good. I believe that the Box of War is based on a Sovtek "Civil War" Muff.

[@orange-rv9ek]

Just purchased a Ram's Head reissue and had the opportunity to buy the Triangle reissue as well so I came here to see if it would be worth having both. Also, would ultimately not mind having all four.

[@alexanderlumberjack]

I have the opamp and its great and i have a vickaudio 73 rams head but after watching this i ordered an ehx rams head!

[@tokimasa]

Overall, I think you did a fantastic job with the whole production of this video. I had a hard time deciding, but since I use Fender amps, the Op-Amp Muff is probably the best suited for me. I was a little surprised by that. I did have a Russian Muff reissue for a while and it did not sound terrible, but I usually had to stack it with a Ibanez TS-9 to make it not sound so muddy.

[@WeAsACompany]

Thx a lot! It makes sense, the Russian can be very dark with some rigs. The Op-amp has way more mids, don't you think?

[@DarthEcoli]

@@WeAsACompany I certainly do.

[@tokimasa]

@@WeAsACompany Yep I agree, it has a lot more mids. I have the Deluxe Big Muff, which has a whole section devoted to adding mids, but it has a ton of knobs and is kind of intimidating, plus it's bigger. Maybe the Op-Amp is what I want!

[@markhartshorn4552]

Excellent comparison! I honestly could not narrow it down, so I got all of them. They definitely each have their own personalities!

[@WeAsACompany]

We completely agree, each one has his own thing.

[@jasoncarrasco7682]

I had the Op-amp recently and it was way too fizzy. In a mix all I could hear was sizzle. I think I would go with the Rus as the total opposite or thr Ram for in between those two.

[@Savior.Greenmount]

Hi, for the Hendrix sound which one would you choose between these four?

[@Tommyhearnsrighthand]

The russian with my single P-90 melodymaker is all I ever play at home now. It's weird It's just become my noise this year nothing else seems fun

[@guitphil]

excellent comparison, only wish you had included the white "nano" big muff in the line-up. btw, the way huge swollen pickle MkIIs is pretty awesome too and is very tweakable. i can get it to sound pretty much like any of the muffs and tones in-between.

3:31 Ram's head full gain 6:39 Op amp full gain

[@buzzardsinuses4780]

Which of the muff pedals would you recommend for someone looking for more note definition and clarity, but not losing any of the fuzz that makes these pedals cool? I have a nano big muff, and for some leads I do, it doesn’t do as good of a job as I’d like, however it does rhythm really well!

[@WeAsACompany]

I would say Ram's Head, it's the best for note definitions IMHO. Triangle is also really good for that.

[@mattgilbert7347]

Black Arts Toneworks Pharaoh! It's a little more $ than any of the EHX Muffs, but for tight, fat, punchy Muff-style Fuzz with no "mud" and excellent note-separation, totally works for me. I'm always swapping out pedals but it's currently occupying a permanent position on my "Stoner Doom" board. It can also be set up to sound a lot like a Fuzzface as well. Bonus!

[@mattgilbert7347]

But yeah, I agree with WAAC on the Ram's Head. Out of the all the stock, non-deluxe EHX Muffs it (closely followed by the Triangle, depending on the amp/rig, etc) does have the midrange and clarity for the lead tone many of us are looking for.

[@choccymilk666]

What should I go with if I want a phat lowend high gain type tone

[@philipkbrayne]

Which Muff would you say is best for single note-riffs, lots of midrange and not a lot of extreme highs/fizz? Thanks!

[@WeAsACompany]

Hard to say. Not sure about the genre, but I would say the Opamp.

triangle sounds nice but more mid scooped to my ears. to me the best sounding is the Russian but the op amp would sound better in a busy mix. The ram's head is very nice maybe in between those those tonally.

[@WeAsACompany]

Agree on the Opamp, it would cut the mix better than the others.

[@thuggeetennessee7981]

..... if I hear that riff one more time!! Ram's Head it is....

[@coreymineard]

I play Les Pauls, so the Ram’s Head sounds the best to me. But they’re all great!

[@LeO31135]

Which one do you think would sound better with a Vox ac15. Thanks

[@WeAsACompany]

Not Sure, we've not much experience with Vx amps. They should sound all good, Vox is normally considered a good pedal platform.

[@salopro86]

I know I'm 9 months late on your comment, but I play a fender jag thru a vox ac30, and I've found (while i haven't tried the Triangle or Ram's Head) the Green Russian is a great counterbalance to the bright, chimey Vox tone. I'm sure as a Vox owner, you've noticed the bright sound can be a bit jarring with certain distortion/fuzz pedals. I tried the OpAmp version which sounded obnoxious to me, used (and still keep) the standard full-size NYC muff on my board, but the Green Russian seems to be right in that sweet spot with the Vox tone

[@galielkarmi995]

I'm trying to get a signal-killer pedal... That can kill the signal without the gain maxed out... Which one should I go for?

[@carolinehaf21]

You mean one that has a noise gate? The big muff deluxe has a built in noise gate you can modify and mids knobs as well as ability to add an expression pedal to control mids like a wah that sounds like wah and fuzz together it's really versatile compared to the original big muff where you couldn't adjust mids and got lost in mix due to it.

[@WW-1995]

Hey, could you check (and compare?) the EHX Double Muff? Thanks ! Just discovered this channel, great contents!

[@WeAsACompany]

Thx!

[@TheRixar10]

Muchísimas gracias por tu vídeo tan bueno. Me gustaría preguntarte si el Rams Head funciona bien en la mezcla. Es decir, si tiene suficientes medios. Estoy dudando entre el Rams Head y el Oamp, y tengo que decir que ambos me encantan, pero sólo quiero uno de los dos. Gracias

[@TheRixar10]

Op-amp*

[@WeAsACompany]

Op-amp has more mids.

[@bioklastik1062]

I've tried all of these. I usually gravitate more towards the op and the green. Between the two, green would have to be it. It has more bottom end to it, without being too much bass.

[@WeAsACompany]

I agree, the reason why I don't have the Green but the Ram's Head on my board is that I use octave before the fuzz. The Green with octave before is too boomy. The Ram's Head is the most versatile in my opinion.

[@jacobbrown1690]

try the tone wicker...very very versitile

[@aicMadSeason]

I love a creamy muff

[@Cam_B]

now this is how you compare pedals

[@WeAsACompany]

Thx a lot man, much appreciated.

[@OhBuoyancy]

Every demo I’ve listened to I liked the Russian best. The triangle is close though.

[@Adrin1117]

If you like the op amp muff, you've got to check out the Warlow from JPTR FX... Best BM I've played yet, you won't be disappointed

[@ChrisRash]

I couldn't decide between a ram and a green russian, so I built a hybrid. A green russian with the gain closer to the rams head. Then a switch to add in a capacitor to go between the scooped mids to flat eq.

[@WeAsACompany]

Sounds very cool. Do you have any sound samples online?

[@ChrisRash]

@@WeAsACompany I do not. I use lower output single coil pickups, so I wanted some extra oomph. For the tone switch, you can look up BYOC large beaver clone demos. They use a switch that goes between the normal scoop, flat, and mid boost. Here is a link to one demo kzbin.info/www/bejne/pme8c2eIlrdsgtU

[@WeAsACompany]

@@ChrisRash Thx!

[@jspic4907]

For that heavy Gilmour sound (1987-1994), the Green Russian it is.

[@michaelwoods9005]

Except for DSOT, that was a rams head.

[@Matthew-qk1xi]

@@michaelwoods9005 dark side was a germanium fuzz face he used Rams Head during Animals.

[@Zappappappappa]

@@michaelwoods9005 DSOTM was a germanium mod fuzz face while Animals and The Wall were exclusively the Rams Head. If you are going for a fuzz that has that singing violin like lead/solo tone I would go with the rams head over the other options or the op-amp then triangle before the Russian as that is arguably the most low-end heavy of all big muff pedals.

[@Matthew-qk1xi]

@@Zappappappappa for sure. I have a Rams Head in my chain. I use a Earthquaker dream crusher V2 before it, which is a germanium fuzz face, for leads it's Rams Head everytime.
