for grunge i would recommend a big muff. i think the big muff sound would suit grunge very well, and there have been so many grunge players who used the big muff specifically, both for bass and guitar. to me that is pretty crunchy and warm. you could probably try the bass big muff. i haven't
for warm you could try the homebrew hematoma also
but if you want something good for muse though, i don't know, because i wouldnt use a warm fuzz for muse. but you are right there on the devi pedals. one of the devi fuzzes should nail the sound. i used a karaoke party before, and it pretty much nailed the muse stuff. not enough versatility for me though (mine was the old 1-knob version) so i sold it.
i'm also beginning to find that eq-ing plays a very important part in getting a good fuzz sound. it used to be too much of a hassle for me to tweak the amp to suit my fuzz. but that was before i bought a markbass
i'd actually recommend something along the lines of a pre-amp + compressor or overdrive if it's grunge you wanna play.
i get some very decent active-musicman style attacks from my mxr dynacomp and mxr m-80 bass preamp. it's a purely clean signal, but you get that active rumble that can be found on Nirvana / Foo Fighters records.
a Sansamp BDDI, M-80, EBS Microbass II, Hartke VXL, couple witth maybe a Hematoma or a Polish Love Pedal for the grit and the pre-amp for the tone shapping
ok . i'm understanding this more . can anyone tell me the difference between the russian big muff and american big muff ? the prices varies alot also .
i thought of getting a hyperion from devi ever . is it advisable ?
