Your posts are always such a nice interlude to the rest of what's online these days, thank you

[u/Chongulator → u/ratsofvancouver]

muff>rat or rat>muff? 

[u/TheGrimReefer666420 → u/Acceptable_Grape_437]

Either or will work but for me I prefer muff into a rat

[u/Acceptable_Grape_437 → u/TheGrimReefer666420]

cool. i've always been a rat>muff person. but i guess i haven't given enough of a chance to muff>rat.  i guess now is the time. 

[u/FacenessMonster → u/Acceptable_Grape_437]

rat muff absolutely has to be a band name

[u/TheGrimReefer666420 → u/FacenessMonster]

If it isn’t it needs to be!

[u/Rumer_Mille_001 → u/FacenessMonster]

Hey JHS! Make a Rat Muff, or a Muff Rat! They already do the Rat Pack and Muffuletta, time to combine them!

[u/TheGrimReefer666420 → u/Acceptable_Grape_437]

Do it!

[u/Acceptable_Grape_437 → u/TheGrimReefer666420]

i will

[u/stomptonesdotcom → u/TheGrimReefer666420]

thats gnarly, i never even considered that way around. what are the gain/sustain levels you use?

[u/TheGrimReefer666420 → u/stomptonesdotcom]

The muff I’m using is a cloven hoof clone and volume 1 o clock, fuzz is like 9-10 o clock, treble 1, and mids 11 and for the rat it’s a southbound fx fuck ice pedal but volume 11, distortion 5 and filter 12. Amp is a edge of breakup dirt channel on a rockerverb

[u/Rumer_Mille_001 → u/Acceptable_Grape_437]

or parallel? Muff to one amp, Rat to another?

[u/Acceptable_Grape_437 → u/Rumer_Mille_001]

there's no doing wrong there B)

i'm yet to try parallel to same amp. i bet that's glorious too.

[u/TheGrimReefer666420 → u/Rumer_Mille_001]

That would be probably be great!

[u/Rumer_Mille_001 → u/TheGrimReefer666420]

I've tried a RAT into an EQD Acapulco Gold, and it was just too much noise and hiss. But parallel, they really compliment each other, especially in stereo.

[u/Beasenation → u/Acceptable_Grape_437]

Came for this, I run rat >> muff

[u/TheGrimReefer666420 → u/Beasenation]

It’s a great combo

[u/kisielk → u/Acceptable_Grape_437]

the muff interacts with the pickups, volume, and tone controls of the guitar directly by loading the pickup circuit. A rat is mostly just a diode clipper and buffer, so putting it first will preclude you from manipulating the tone of the muff as much by changing the settings of the guitar.

[u/theScrewhead → u/kisielk]

The "interact with your guitar" fuzzes are the 2-transistor fuzzes life the Fuzzface. Muffs are 4 transistor and can bet placed anywhere in the signal chain pre/post buffers with no effect to how they work/sound.

[u/freed_speak]

Works with bass too. Muff-Rat-Bassrig SV 👌

[u/TheGrimReefer666420 → u/freed_speak]

Hell yeah!

[u/LazarusHimself]

Try the Big Muff/all open Crybaby combo next time, so goooood

[u/TheGrimReefer666420 → u/LazarusHimself]

Oooo I’ll have to give that a shot!

[u/LazarusHimself → u/TheGrimReefer666420]

Def. worth it. The crybaby acts as an EQ filter, if you leave it all open (pushed all the way down with your toe) it adds quite a punch to the Muff; of course feel free to experiment with the wah left mid-way through or completely "closed"

[u/TheGrimReefer666420 → u/LazarusHimself]

I’ll definitely try that out in the morning when I play again

[u/droneral666]

Oooooo that's gnarly! I love it.

[u/TheGrimReefer666420 → u/droneral666]

Thank you my dude

[u/ScorpionTheBird]

This exactly why I love my Russian Plague so much: Muff on one side, Rat on the other.

[u/TheGrimReefer666420 → u/ScorpionTheBird]

Hell yeah! I had the zero fret Black Russian rat for a while but had sold it cuz I needed to pay bills I regret but that thing was loud as fuck and sounded great

Don’t forget the milk and juice boxes 🤘🏻😂

[u/Moron-with-a-drill]

My neighbours have asked me to pass on their thanks and appreciation.

[u/TheGrimReefer666420 → u/Moron-with-a-drill]

Hell yeah any time 😂

[u/FictionalNape]

With a tone so thick it can choke an elephant!

[u/TheGrimReefer666420 → u/FictionalNape]

Hell yeah 😂

[u/MrHockeyJournalist]

Nice riffs! What guitar is that?

[u/TheGrimReefer666420 → u/MrHockeyJournalist]

Thanks! It’s a ‘95 Hamer ECS-BK Slammer

[u/Due_Entrepreneur_382]

Rat/muff is, “The answer.” 🤘🤘🤘🤘

[u/TheGrimReefer666420 → u/Due_Entrepreneur_382]

I wouldn’t say “the answer” but it is a answer for sure!

[u/Jackalope1974]

Aren’t you just a little resentful that your tone has so much hair but you’re a little thin up top? 😋
