Swollen Pickle Vs Big Muff

[lardylard]

hey guys, i need your opinions into this. cause now i'm in a dilemma choosing between a swollen pickle and a big muff (either USA or USSR ver.) So i wanna know abit more details from those who own them, also the price and availability.

I own a big muff russian. love it but looking for versatility too wondering if this can get the big muff sound and more.

if im not wrong swollen pickle is basically a big muff clone, with more controls.

the choice is simple, unless you have a very specific preference for the original big muff tone, which im guessing you dont, since you are considering both the nyc and sovtek muffs which supposedly sound different.

i've never tried it but i did a muff and i find that the muff is completely useless on high 'sustain' settings, on top of being very compressed.

why don't u borrow both to test? but if u like more control over your tone, u can try the pickle. i heard its not too shabby.

there's also the pickle pie which is a clone of the swollen pickle, since the swollen pickle was discontinued at one point of time
