Cornish P1/P2/...?

[freddy_von]

I've been thinking for a while about grabbing a Cornish style Muff, but have been unsure about which one to go for.
I've seen a few pop up in different places on the forum lately so thought I'd ask here.
What's the difference/similarities, pros/cons whatever of the P1 and P2? Or, should I be looking at one of his other models to satisfy my needs?

p2 is a great muff imo. I've played a couple of them. they're very close to a maxon jet driver/ d&sII style thing but with no blurring between strings etc.
sounds like if you were to track a chord one string at a time. i haven't played a p1.

aparently the P2 is a modified muff and the p1 is more a clone of gilmours rams head...?
i dont think its a direct clone though, a modified clone and the p2 is further modified/refined

have a good listen to gilmours on an island and live in gdansk and you'll get a good idea of what they sound like...

I've had both, but unfortunately not at the same time. The P-2 was far too dark for my tastes. I was not really able to ever get much of a useable tone from it. Its super smooth sounding so.if that's your thing uoumay enjoy it? The P-1 I still own. Really amazing big muff! Tone control is very useable on it and the gain control is as well. It cuts great and is still smooth and nasty at the same time.

Pete brought back the P1 due to the high demand... he'd moved to the P2 but so many started requesting the P1 and it was getting such a good rap from ppl that he brought it back...
if i were looking i'd probably go that one first... Too smooth was the common complaint of the P2.

Looks like the P1 it is.
Thanks for the feedback.

Same experience here -- no longer have either one but the P2 was way too dark and smooth for me. The P1 cut like a knife and really ripped on chords.

Playing the 2 at Deluxe, the P1 has more of a classic tone stack - the P2 gives you variation in the highs, and doesn't scoop or alter the mids as much (alla less traditional)

I have both but the P-1 gets the most airtime. I find it such an amazing muff tone I asked Jerms to make a clone for me in the event it came up missing. At the time I initially got it, second-hand prices were insane and I wanted a backup just in case the Cornish got stolen.

Did said clone ever come to be?
