    Id be quite comfortable owning either, they both sound great. With the gain turned up full, I noticed a bit more note clarity with the Black Russian which I thought sounded better. So Black Russian for me, personal preference being the decider.

    EHX USA and Russian owner.... I prefer the Russian live and in studio. More velvet-esque solos and pairs well with the Boss DS-1 as a gain boost/overdrive via my Fender stage 112 solid state. Sounds better and dirtier via singles than on my epi SG g400 w/ p90s

    I bought the Black Russian when the local store didn't have the NYC. I like it, but not as much as the American. I like the darker American sound.

    The Russian Muff sounds tighter and more defined, but the US version just has that massive dose of sputtering, angry piss and vinegar that I love!

    Both are great. I demoed both before making my purchase, but I ultimately went with the black. It had a little more note clarity, in my opinion. However, I would have been happy with the silver. Both gave me the David Gilmour/Pete Townshend sounds I was looking for.

      Andrew Oliver I ended up getting my hands one of the black russians too and it beats all the other big muffs that I tried and owned. I've been using it with a les Paul standard loaded with hum-sized p90s (Rio Grande big bottom bastard set) that have a higher output than most p90s and they're a bit fatter sounding. They have the clarity and punch of a p90 when you need it but can really get down and dirty too so they fit the pedal perfectly in my opinion

    Might be because I have one, but the Russian sounds way better to me. Sound is tighter while giving a good amount of fuzz.

    I thought the Russian one sounded better here - which is funny considering years ago I had the Russian one and sold it and bought the USA model... LOL

  • @ДимитрийЗаяц-ж7х
    @ДимитрийЗаяц-ж7х 7 лет назад +7

    Russian has more agressive sound, while American sounds more compressed. I'd choose Russian for lead parties, and American for rhythm. However, American sounds more "fuuzy"

    Had a red script in the mid '70 that i loved. Tried large logo ri about 10 years ago. Too stoner rock for me. Of course, GC demo
    playing time. Maybe more tone there.

      Psyfonify Sound is similar enough to claim they are in the same family, but the innards are wayyyy different. Check out the kitrae website review of it and the youtube video that shootsout the nano bass muff and a bubble font green.

    Both sound great. The Russian looks cooler. I'd probably go with the regular big muff...it is darker and fatter sounding.

    My mom asked is that a new Kock amp? I said, “it’s Koch! with a “CH!” She said, “sorry.” “But shouldn’t the Koch go into the Big Muff?” I said, “I’m not going to discuss this with you.”
