I’ve not tried one of the new muffs, I’ll be interested to see what the tone knob does. The tone control on my op amp muff kind of looks a me and shrugs is shoulders.

That was pretty cool. How many signature Muff/Muff style pedals does J. have now, about three?

After reading the Reverb ad, I'm curious: Are the internals the same as the "normal" Ram's Head reissue, with only the graphics and colors being different?

Yeah, just a new paint job.

Was thinking that too yesterday! Fuzz Munchkin (Tym), SUF - can't remember the name but there was one, the Garbage Face from Wren and Cuff, September Sound did the mini J, but not sure that was official? And now an EHX paint job. So 4, potentially 5, but just off the top of my head1bottlerocket wrote: ↑Fri Aug 19, 2022 4:47 am That was pretty cool. How many signature Muff/Muff style pedals does J. have now, about three?

I got the Tym and the W&C but I would really like to get my hands on a Mini J. I have only seen a handful of those around. The September sounds are really nice.
To date, my favorite violet circuit is the V2 that Stu makes. Dave's also really kills it. I sold a couple of the older Ram's Heads builds that Dave made thinking I could replace them at some point but that stuff is getting out of reach these days. The DP-93 is a solid heavy hitter. I have to spend more time with it but the little I ran it was nuts.

The Tym Violet Big Mudd still takes the cake for me as the best Ram's Head I've tried, I still have a couple of them. Stu's V2 was just about it's equal though. Always founds SUFs a little too squish with my gear. Wren do some nice Muffs, particularly Russians. Loved the September Ram I had some years ago, a big selling regret that one... I really liked Dave's Ram Head but haven't been so keen on the DP version, really middy, although I haven't tried any of the later versions. Have owned 4 or 5 originals along the way too with varying results. The Ram's Head hole runs deep!

I completely agree with you on the SUF, I like the tone but I find them in a different camp and not enough oomph. I have never run the Tym violet and the V2 net to each other. I have a few of both and that would be a fun session.Lach wrote: ↑Fri Aug 19, 2022 8:33 pm The Tym Violet Big Mudd still takes the cake for me as the best Ram's Head I've tried, I still have a couple of them.

The strong mids is what I like about the DP builds. Tym added a flat mids toggle on a couple of his builds for me at my request, he even called them a TS Signature pedal
No that my ham-fisted playing warrants such an accolade.

Haha wow! Well me too! Here's my "Loxx Sustainar signature VRH" (yeah, right). And ah, yep, I certainly couldn't claim that my thrashing about on the strings could deserve such an accolade either... but I'm so very thankful and blown away that he built it for me! I bought about 50 Muffs before it, and have bought maybe 3 since, it just can't be beat1bottlerocket wrote: ↑Fri Aug 19, 2022 10:48 pm
