Released in 2017, it keeps Volume, Sustain, and Tone and the olive-green finish associated with that era. Versus the NYC-style Big Muff, this lineage is known for thicker low end and a smoother saturation character that guitarists and bassists both use.

Owners often contrast it with the Ram’s Head reissue: more bass and a grainier low-mid wall, which can tip into mud in a band mix if the Tone control stays dark. Raising Tone or stacking a mid-focused drive ahead are common fixes.

Signal path is mono with true bypass. The pedal is a modern nano reissue of the mid-1990s Russian production era, not an original Sovtek large-box unit.
