So I got a EHX English Muff'n from another forum member almost a year ago and thought id be using it like madness from all the online demos I have heard. Unfortunately every time I try to use it, Im not impressed by the sound, it just seems too gritty even in low gain settings. I go straight back to my unmodified TS9-DX, my OCDv3, or even my fender deville dirty channel. Im using the stock tubes in this which are 12AY7s I think.
The amp I generally use is a Mesa Boogie F-30, so Ive got plenty of gain on tap if I want it. I wanted to use this pedal as some smooth overdrive thats very harmonically pleasing...
So my question to all of you is: What am I missing here? How do you guys run your English Muff'ns? Is this pedal all that great?
Convince me to keep this thing, because I am thinking of selling it and getting a compressor (which I think I need more anyways)
