Rusted Vintage Working 1979 Little Big Muff

I found this on Craigslist and was wondering if anyone ever heard of it. I thought the Little Big Muff was just a recently creation. Looks like the same power adapter as my Small Clone Chorus if that is in fact the power hole in the top.

Worth $80?

i'd say... not worth the $80. The Big Muff is better if you like this type of distortion.

Totally worth $80, I'd say. I paid way more for mine.

The thing is, I take the exact opposite view of the guy who did the U-Toob demo as I think the 'down' setting sounds totally fucking fantastic. I also think the initial clean tone he had with his Tele before he opted for the shitty mud-tone sounded better, so it's obviously a case of different strokes.

+1. I will contact him today. It's a long shot because he lives almost an hour away but it kinda looks like the Small Clone Chorus of Muff Pedals.

yeah, the little big muff is not new. i think the newer ones are not as cool sonding as the original, but they're still nice.

i say do it, for the collectible-ility over anything.

its an IC big muff minus the tone stack...... if u like the IC big muff with tone stack switched out of the cicuit then do it

it doesn't sound switched out of the circuit. it sounds like the regular big muff tone circuit at about at 9 o'clock (the dark setting) and then 5 o'clock (for the bright setting).

I finally got a hold of the seller but he had just sold it off. I will keep my eye out for more of these in the future.
