I've just bought an EHX Bass Big Muff Pi and I couldn't wait to try it with an easy Muse song with that typical sound.
It started like a test but it grew very good, I think I'll spend some more time to finish this cover, add synths and work on percussions and the guitar part.
Anyway I REALLY like the sound of my bass with this new toy :D
Settings: Volume at 3/4--, Tone at 1/4+, Sustain at 2/4-, Dry position.

  • I have a Big Muff Pi, but it doesn't sound quite right. There is far too much 'Muff' if you know what I mean. Would using a Bass Big Muff sound closer?

  • yes, I understand.

    The Bass Big Muff has the "only Muff" mode and the "Bass Muff", but believe me, both sounds good only for bass, so I think it's the same for your guitar version.

    It's a matter of frequencies and with my guitars you have the Muff/fuzz sound only in the lower and in the high end, while you should have in the middle, baybe it's the opposite with your Pedal and bass.

  • Great video?. Can you tell me if you play like Chris?. i mean, in bass. I saw a video that he start playing in the 9th fret, 3rd string.

  • No I play it on 2nd fret, 2nd string. Maibe it's because I use flatwound strings so they are a bit smoother but also with a little thinner sound on higher strings and frets. Anyway.. That's it :D

  • @samyboy25niner the russian big muff is more smoother and more responsive to low ends

  • wat the diffrence between normal big muff and russian one?

  • @Gizuco Naw, Chris uses a BOSS OC-2 to bring everything an octave down. Therefore what he plays on the 9th fret, 3rd string sounds like what you play on the 2nd fret, 2nd string, but with a very different tone.

  • Amazing! i love this song...

    keep rocking...

    by the way, take a look at my covers too

    cheers!

  • that sound terribly wrong... ! you want to have in on mid volume with full tone and full sustain. with bass boost on.. this is a very bassy song...... and all fairness this could just be a old vid

  • yea more sustain :P

    otherwise, awesum!!

  • Chris uses an octave pedal for it, so everything he plays sounds 1 octave lower
