Got one on Friday but didnt get a chance to plug it in over the weekend. I scored a new one on ebay from a dealer.

Check out the demos on you tube. Tone Factor has a nice demo as does "guitarmandude".

If you do a search for "Big Muff w/ Tone Wicker" on you tube there are 3-5 GOOD demos on there.

I think (from what I have seen/heard) they took all that was great about the big muff and fixed its shortcomings in the Treble/Clarity department with the Tone and Wicker switches. However they still left intact what we all love about the Muff....big, nasty, fuzzy, thick distortion & sustain.

I should be able to get some time in with it this evening after work, perhaps I will chime back in w/ my thoughts if I get a chance.

I got one a few weeks ago and its super cool, its a stock 2008 model big muff with tone options. The wicker adds some clarity and definition to your sound and the tonebypass gives you more mids and a slightly crunchy sound as well as boosting the volume by a whole lot.
Definitely gonna be a favorite for a lot of people i think.

So are the extra controls on the BMTW in anyway similar to the stuff on the swollen pickle, or am I just way off base on that one?

[Stormbringer]

Not exactly like the SP. The tone switch in the Wicker Muff simply bypasses the tone stack and it gives you a huge, broad tone. Really huge.

The wicker switch acts is a high/mid frequency filter so it acts like a treble booster.

Great and flexible pedal at a great cost.

[IAE]

Treble booster is an over exaggeration because the wicker switch is very subtle, not an extreme change like a treble booster would be.

I might get me one of these. I already have a BYOC Large Beaver (triangle), but one can never have too many Muffs. I foolishly sold my modded black russian Muff.

Got one coming in the next few days.

I agree with you the Wicker effects is rather subtle but I was trying to illustrate what it does to people who haven't heard it.

Got mine from Tonefactor..super quick as always

The gearmandude video is pretty spot on. I am not a fuzz expert, so I cant compare it to alot of toher fuzz boxes.

I like the tone wicker mod, but it does allow a little high frequency noise...

Very pleased with mine.

I just watched the Proguitarshop demo -

The Tone switch sounds like position four on the mode switch of the BYOC Beaver. Doesn't that too bypass the tonestack and give a pronounced full range boost? That's what it does on mine at least...

[Dexter.Sinister]

Thanks for info! Looks like I will have to try one out.
