Conclusion:
So it rocks, despite the fact that I didn’t want to like it. I’m an ass, but at least I can admit it. This is a great muff clone for bass guitar use, my guess is that the only people that won’t like it are the people that don’t like the basic sound of the muff to begin with. Huge low end with great usability in both the tone and sustain knobs, and still retaining the top end sizzly sparkle. I liked the sound best on my hotter more mid-range voiced basses, because as with most muffs the mid scoop might make you disappear in the mix otherwise. I’d love to see a little more flash and dazzle in their marketing (for their sake), but why mess with a good thing?
UPDATE 11-2008
I got one of these for myself and took the liberty of rehousing into a more interesting box:
As always, if you have any questions, leave a comment or let me know
Note: A rating of 5 = average and should considered a ‘good’ basic score
Construction: 6 (well made, if boring)
Versatility: 6 (amazing range for a muff)
Sound: 8
Value: 8
Overall: 8
Adding to the collection:Loaner
I’ve been waiting since November for mine. It’s been 2 months over the promised ship date. No emails from Sonny. This pedal better be worth it. And judging by the video and samples it should be. But I think I might hate looking at it too much on my board to keep it once/if I get it.
The lesson here is, if you want one, try to find it used, don’t waste your time and try to buy new.
