Introducing a Green Sovtek Big Muff to a rig - Bypass tone

[RouseTheBoroughs]

I have a friend who is on the verge of putting his Green Big Muff up for sale due to some Cornish stuff arriving.

I am tempted by the pedal but worried about it's capacity to sludge up the signal coming from my guitar when in bypass.

Anyone have experience with these ?

I doubt you'll hear a difference if you put it after a buffered pedal in your chain. Lops a bit of high-end off in a long true-bypass only chain otherwise.

You could true bypass it still leaving the original switch by installing it through a relay. If Seiko's advice doesn't pan out.

Bloody hell, that thing is mint!
And yes, a good buffer will help if you need it.
