I used a big muff on a really hard acidy track like 15 years ago sending bot= h a 909 and 202 through it and I thought it sounded kick ass. There may have= been another EH pedal on it as well though like a delay or some such thing,= I can=E2=80=99t remember. Anyway, I just bought another one to mess around w= ith; now I have three, the other two needing repair. I probably wouldn=E2=80= =99t use it for clean sounding stuff but I think it=E2=80=99s a beast for mo= re aggressive noise. I just ordered a Boss Rod-10 per Tony=E2=80=99s? Sugges= tion and am exited to give that a go. I thought Hardfloor used a Boss Metal Z= one? Don=E2=80=99t know why I think that though; I did see their setup once m= any years ago in Chicago; perhaps they had one for that, or I could be makin= g that up.
