The wicker toggle does seem to remove some of the stuff I don't like about big muffs.

Wouldn't buy one though.

It sounds great. I really like the tonal options.

Do you think you could make one handy enough, mike?

A wicker is a fairly standard idea, isn't it? Like, you could implement a wickere in most circuits (although it wouldn't be effective in a lot of circuits). I may have this very wrong.

Yeah, it's two simple mods to the original circuit, the tone bypass is just a case of connecting the input to the final amplification stage from before the tone control instead of post it, and the wicker change is to remove two 470pF caps from the feedback clipping stages

It'll probably be the only pedal I buy in 2009.

What Electro Harmonix do brilliantly IMO is their pricing

I had a look at the cost of these ans i was expecting £120 something like that.....new product and all this

but no it's about £70.... and when you think it's a bit of legendry pedal (the big muff i mean) that's pretty impressive.... I know the components probably only cost 2 bob but plenty of people would have no issue charging more.

the Boss Fuzz costs the same but that uses shitty COSM technology..... EH have covered the market!

That's a lot of nice and trashy tones in a $90 box.

I dig.

I don't like the sound of the muff itself on this box.

So far I haven't heard a demo the way I would use it. If/when I decide to get one I'll probably A/B it with the big box NYC muff before making up my mind.
