Deluxe Big Muff PI : Powerful, direct sound

This was my third muff in my pedal collection, after previously getting the Green Russian and Rams Head (both of these are great too, but I need other external pedals to shape their sound to my taste). I’m looking for these long sustaining lead tones. Usually fuzz tends to get brittle and losing tightness which I don’t really like, but this pedal has great mid frequency control, which can tighten those low ends and make melodies cut through the mix. I boost it sometimes with a tube screamer or with an EQ pedal to further sound shaping and it has become my main lead pedal. I usually plug it into a slightly overdriven clean pedal platform amp, like the Marshall Origin 20 head, or Laney and it’s pure joy to my ears.
