The Biggest Muff Shootout (featuring Josh DuBois) - Podcast #4

[@pCeLobster]

This format is great. Would love more stuff like this.

[@Thisonegoestoeleven666]

Not only is this the most awesome thing ever, but Josh doesn't need to say much, because his fingers do ALL the talking. Just pulled the trigger on a used Deluxe Bass Big Muff Pi, Cheers boys!

[@OmniTron1000]

Both versions of the deluxe, and the russian muffs were my favorite. Also, I can't tell you how happy it made me to see you guys turn them all on at the end! Haha, perfect finale.

[@jimjamkillsnerds]

Ben I really want a detailed comparison of the two deluxe ones now! Not sure which one would be better for bass

[@Comrade_Collects]

Absolute legends 🤘🤘 cheers for all the great content

[@mister_syre]

Thanks for this comparative review. Good job! You helped me decide on the Deluxe Bass Big Muff.

[@bluesroulette1155]

I'm a Muff guy.. the best tool for blending the Fuzz and a clean bass is "The Big Bottom" by Tym Guitars. hand made in Brisbane Australia. its was design from the ground up to with the Muff in mind.

[@JulesNoir820]

Awesome comparison! Just ordered a deluxe big muff! Hoping it'll be just the ticket for my stoner rock originals project! That built in gate seems awesome! Switchable crossover seems cool for switching up textures for lead sections. Cheers guys ☮️

Could you do an envelope filter shootout next time? c:

[@hoah]

Listening to guitar musicians try to describe an envelope filter is HILARIOUS

[@stoatystoat174]

Ive got a Boss LS-2 recently and its excellent pedal for putting a clean bass through on one channel and same bass though a pedal on the other and then adjust the volume of both channels until it sounds awesome and they come back out mono. Means you can use much less bass friendly pedals and still be bassy I know the channel dudes mentioned it at the start but thought id put it in writing for bass pedal beginner people 🤘

[@danielmoraes743]

Was searching for which muff to get for my bass, loved the chanel and the format

[@T3L3cast3r]

Out of curiosity, which one did you end up with/liked best?

[@kidgloves2]

Wish you had a Wren and Cuff Tall Font to compare.

[@Cguy7]

18:09 WICKED OR WEAKNESS YOU GOTTA SEE THIS WAAAAAAAAAY (YEAH, YEAH!)

[@TheBassChannel]

C. Gooden Wow, this is the best comment we have ever received, ever. 😂

[@BoomstickNick88]

C. Gooden Ain't nobody prayin for me

[@hitsfromthebong7629]

Please do an ultimate comparison vid of the OG Green Big Muff, Russian Pickle, Ehx Russian and Wren and Cuff Tall Font.

[@wmdbassplayer]

Based on Will's review I was set to get the Deluxe Bass Big Muff, but because the companies I use with zero interest payment plans don't stock it, I got the Bass Big Muff. Not through with the video yet, but damn! I really like the sound of the Deluxe Big Muff! And as pointed that's technically for guitar!

[@wmdbassplayer]

I'm liking the Bass Big Muff, but I think I get better sounds with it on my passive Squier Bass VI than on my active basses. Still wanting that Deluxe BBM. I like the blend and the lpf & hpf. I'm really curios how it stacks with envelope filters. I have a QTron+ and sometimes run the BBM through its effects loop. I also have a BassBalls and an original MuTron III and I get crazy synthy tones staking all three. Curious how the DeluxeBBM would play with all of them.

[@EmanCarbone]

Hi guys, that was a bad-ass video! Great stuff! I've been owning the "original" Bass Big Muff for about 10 years now, Will, would you say it's worthwhile to switch to the new nano-shaped Green Russian instead? I really like the punchiness which comes with it in every demo, a bit more in your face and plug and play. I like the versatility of the Bass Big Muff, but as you rightly say, the Dry mode only adds the dist ON TOP of the dry signal and doesn't blend them, resulting in a too massive volume boost which can cause problems live unless you just add in a tiny bit of fuzz over the clean signal. The Deluxe is overkill and too big for me though, so I'm ruling it out - I already have a VtBass Deluxe by Tech 21. Keep up with your videos guys!

[@TheBassChannel]

+Eman Carbone Thank you! Normally, we'd recommend the Deluxe but since you've already ruled it out, I'd say the Green Russian Reissue would be a solid choice.

[@systolic410]

The two proper Russian muffs and the two Deluxe Muffs by a country mile.

[@portugueseloveconnection]

is that noname beer? the yellow label? if it is, dope! and the bass big muff rocks all about that dry switch

[@jaredhouseman2094]

35:59 bass big muff

[@wmdbassplayer]

I might have said this before, but I really love your reviews! No mugging for the camera and trying too damn hard to be cool or funny or "edgy"! Just tell me what it does, play the shit and let me hear for myself!

[@mindbodylightsound10]

skipped around at first but then went back to watch the whole thing

[@BrentonBold]

Ehx should release a smaller version of the bass muff deluxe.

[@bumblesnowmonster]

Very cool guys! Very cool. 😎

[@BrentonBold]

have you guys reviewed the amptweaker bass tight fuzz?

[@franh1475]

There is one big muff type pedal that you on the bass channel did not try out, kma audio machines chief distuptor

[@karmakultivator]

I think JHS Muffuletta is also honorable mention.

[@bhuwanpoudel760]

Russian Green muff vs russian black big muff pi.. Need some help. Which one is good for bass???

[@jaredhouseman2094]

50:00 Russian reissue

[@jasperbassZwolle]

$2000,- on muffs, now that’s crazy!

[@richardkinman9268]

I loved it

[@ryan_neris]

Fun video! Black Russian is a curious omission.

[@Robert-dt3is]

I'm looking for like a more nine inch nails kind of fuzz. Any recommendations? Think "Less Than".

[@KptnHaddock_]

DOD Carcosa, very versatile

[@thombrady420]

For NIN type fuzz, think either Brassmaster or Superfuzz based circuits.

[@ninjakukki]

no sovtek big muff deluxe?

[@TheBassChannel]

Didn’t exist at the time

[@ninjakukki]

@@TheBassChannel thank you for replying, big fan of this channel, keep up the good work.

[@Iggytommy]

The 'Germanium 4' model has nothing to do with the Big Muff circuit; it's merely the name. (afaik)

[@chrisjohnson9300]

[@thegourmetchef30]

Big muff + Bass = Gratitude by BBoys RIP Adam Yauch MCA

[@tralfamadore541]

4 basses, really

[@bogoid]

RIP lil ampeg

[@roeybenuri3707]

What amp is that

[@jw112mail]

looks like an old ampeg rocket

[@mattofthemountain]

YES!!!

[@MarioSouzaLima]

Each russian sound different to my ears.

[@regortex3364]

The Russian Muffs are cool but waaay overrated. Tall font, bubble font, black, owned them all. NYC, op amp, deluxe, little, still own some of them. The Sola Sound Tonebender MkIII sounds better than all of them imo. I’d take the Bass Deluxe Big Muff if I had to use a Big Muff.

[@masterzimny]

Jimi Hendrix couldn’t have been given one of the Original Rams Head Big Muffs If the first version of The Big Muff (Which Was The Rams Head Big Muff) by EHX was released in 1971 because Hendrix was already dead by ‘71. Jimi Hendrix died in 1970......

[@TheBassChannel]

Zach allen-zimny He was given one before full-on production models were released, the Big Muff circuit had been around since the early sixties.

[@masterzimny]

Bassic Gear Review, that’s what I was thinking, but I wasn’t sure. All I know is that Jimi used a Dallas-Arbiter Fuzz Face, & several different versions of Fuzz/& Octavia pedals built by Roger Mayer throughout his entire career.

[@thechronicnoizeco.6675]

Bass pod

[@ThomasHope73]

Can some summarise the findings? This is is a lot to get through.

[@MisterKaribOfficiel]

He ruined everything with his Schecter

[@wmdbassplayer]

While not as ballsy as the other basses, (personally, I really like that Sterling), I think the Schecter has a nice clean sound.

[@pCeLobster]

Should be the opening line of a book.
