I'm getting one soon as they're available somewhere near me. They had one that only took batteries and I wanted one with an AC adapter jack for a while.

It'll only sound right if all the paint falls off...

(Exciting if these really do capture the old green ones)

I wonder if the buffers still suck?

It will only sound right if you are playing in a loud band and you turn on the pedal and the sound of your guitar disappears. :ph34r:

im curious about this. in a world where you can get 100 different green russian clones, what makes this one stick out compared to half the ones that have fixed the issues of the old one?

Price. This one will be rrp £60 instead of £100+ of the clones.

FWIW I have a fredric green russian and it's my favourite all-round muff. I've had fancier clones that sounded HOOOOGGEEE and GNAR AF but when it came down to value vs usefulness, the others got flipped and the fredric stayed. I doubt that even ehx can compete with the secondhand price of the fredrics, they're crazy good value for money.

Damn, if I'd known of this sooner I wouldn't have built my own one ::)

Apparently they have lyrics from "Dopesmoker" printed on the reissue circuit boards.

When I can get a green muff with adjustable mids for $50 or whatever, I'll bite.

Fuzz star until then, I guess.

If this had been an IC reissue I'd have been throwing my money at them. I like that they are doing this a lot, just not the one *I* want. I'm sure this will be nice for a ton of people though.

How does this compare to the Bass Big Muff? Is this just the Nano Bass Big Muff without the bass boost/dry switch?

So, so true.
