Title: What does a Pig Butt sound like?
Post by: blearyeyes on February 27, 2018, 02:11:02 AM
I need to buy something from Brian or donate a few bucks.
Waiting for something new from Madbean!
What does the Pig Butt (op-amp muff) sound like? Have you build one? Do you like it?

It sounds a more trebbly/scratchy big muff. Not a massive difference, but distinctive in its own right.

(not a perfect comparison, as the russian units tend to be some of the more bass heavy designs to begin with, but gives you some of the flavor).

I like mine, though it makes my telecaster sound a bit too screechy. Plays well with my LP though.

Sounds like warm fuzzy goodness! Think Siamese Dream era Smashing Pumpkins.

Put your ear up close and see.

If I look closely at a pig butt I will know the truth.

I imagine it sounds like a busted speaker and smells about the same......

I guess the lesson here is that a big muff sounds like a big muff, or a Pig Butt.  Never was into them much for myself back then.

Yeah it's not super different.  It is a somewhat harsher distortion,  but it's still a bmp.

It's bassy.  And it's got more sizzle/saturation than a transistor BMP.  So long as you can deal with the low end it's awesome.  One of my favorite pedals.
