I'll be doing a demo of it tonight. So far, I'm not impressed. The box is the same size as a "little" big muff. The wicker boosts the trebles and the tone switch cuts out all the tone which IMO is useless if you can't control it via stomp switching. I also nabbed a Russian Pi from ebay for $30 shipped, and have them both to A/B test, and I'm liking the Pi's tonez better. Love the Tone wicker's size and colour scheme but I'm uncertain of its tonal capabilities. Stay tuned to this thread and I'll put a video up tonight sometime.

Says unavailable. Based on your description I'm kind of expectedly disappointed. I'll still try one out when the holday season's over and I can get in a shop to check it out.

Can't say that I like that wicker muff at all. It sounds cold and lifeless, it reminds me of the crunch circuit on my brother's Hartke hybrid amp.

I actually like the sound of it way more than in the EHX demo(?), or whatever that demo was that was posted before.
What guitar are you playing into it, that might have something to do with not getting the best tone out of a muff.

Great demo Cowbell. Sounds ok, bit sterile.
I've never really been a fan of Big Muffs anyway...I won't be getting this one!

It was a good demo. The wicker sounded a lot more brash than on other demos.

i thought it sounded quite nice. if i were muff-less and looking to buy one i'd probably opt for that, just for a bit more versatility (and space saving-ness).
