I’ve tried a bunch of Muff pedals and I keep coming back to the EQD Hoof which is a modified Russian Muff with a shift knob that allows you to dial back in more mids. I find that it cleans up nicely when I roll back the volume on any of my guitars.
You might want to look at the DOD carcosa which can do muff like tones but also offers a much wider range of fuzz tones.
Your fuzz face would probably accomplish what you’re doing better if you used single coils. Rolling off the volume on a strat plugged into a FF is one of those classic tones.
Pushing a Muff with a TS pedal is a well known trick but I think I’ve read about it being used more for solos? I think you could get it to work for “cleaner” parts too.
Yea, I got the fuzz face, torn, cause most the stuff I listen to is that classic fuzz face tone, but I knew I was lacking the single coil mojo...so I got the hizumitas for cheap, on a whim just incase. I'm glad I did, cause I think I really like the muff sound for my very small fuzz needs.
The fuzz face (ge sunface clone) is awesome, and I love what it does completely cleaned up, sparkly highs, but in my set up, it's very ice pick, and hard to tame. It's either full fuzz, or full clean. It's more of a clean/treble booster, and sort of redundant for me in my chain.
The hoof, AND cloven hoof look great and I'm leaning towards hoof or just a green russian RI.
I was going going to grab the carcosa as my first fuzz, but ended up skipping it, not sure why tbh..maybe some complaints about noise floor? I am gonna revisit that I think.
In all honesty, I'm regretting even going on this venture..especially that I don't venture too far past low gain lol. But I guess I'm a damn cork sniffing tone snob. I can't write A+ songs, or be in a great band...so might as well get my tone right lol.
I appreciate your help.
