Mudbunny Variants ... Which to build?

[Bman40]

I know, I know...build ALL of them  (and Improbably will) but for a start Rams Head or Triangle?

Any opinions ?

Thanks

Rams Head hands down

I just added a battery clip to my friend's V7 edition 3 Big Muff and compared it to the Triangle I built to Madbean specs (plus some mods): https://soundcloud.com/big-dipper-effects/muff-comparison

They sound similar recorded, but the Russian had a bit more girth in the room. Both sound good...I can see why people collect big muffs. Check out Kitrae's page for more info/schems than you'll ever need!

Imo, the mids knob adds some versatility

The Skreddy Mayo seams to be a great versatile BMP variant. I personally prefer the P19 but it is a bit more tame and probably a bit more in distortion territory than the usual muffs

Jaunsolo may weigh in here. He has made a great spreadsheet for all the variants and gives good advice with all things muff

thanks for the input folks.

I have seen the spreadsheet, and listened to some youtube samples (not really a good test, I know but...)

I like the Green Russian, the triangle and the Rams head.

I have not heard the P19 or Mayo yet.

I may well end up with 5 of the darn things!

On request, just built the Civil War spec Muff on a Mudbunny board for a freind, and i have to say, it sounds pretty awesome! it's my first mudbunny build, and i have a feeling it is the first of many!

Interesting read, but the screamerlab is fully modded tube screamer... not a whole lot there that specifically applies to muffs...

my 2c - build a green russian. not as high gain, (but still pretty high gain), flatter in the mids, and a bit smoother...

My advice - socket some of the key components and try some different values. Here's a pretty good reference for the circuit and what each component does.

yeah they did a Screamerlab and Fuzzlab jr which are highly modded TS's and Fuzz Faces. I'm kinda inspired to do a Mufflab! who's with me?

[jeffaroo]

go for it ! im thinking of a bender lab

[jeffaroo]

maybe a big ass Green Bean mod
call it "The Mean Bean"

'Muff Lab'... there is probably a Low budget Bluey called that!
