Taking its inspiration from legendary British guitar amplifiers, the Electro-Harmonix English Muff'n Overdrive Pedal re-creates their majesty and classic tone with spot-on accuracy. Rather than approximating these amps as do emulator products, the English Muff'n employs real vacuum tubes, including a 12AY7 cascading into a 12AX7, to produce true Brit-valve sounds that are full of richness and natural saturation.

One of the best OD pedals I've ever used. If you love REAL tube tone this is the REAL deal. It's actually a tube preamp in a box. Supposedly runs at 280 volts! No cheap starved plate here. WAY more versatile than a Big Muff (I have an old '77). You can play open chords with it. Very touch sensitive with 2 slightly lower gain 12AY7 tubes. You can swap out practically any preamp tubes in it. Tried it with a JJ 12AX7 and sounded nice and heavy. The tone stack is warm & chunky on the bottom end. The tone of the pedal itself has a very razor sharp bite. The treble has to be rolled WAY back. Unfortunately got one with a bad tube but GC called EHX & got a new one & couldn't be happier. Incredible with a tube amp and really warms up a solid state too!
I own a Big Muff also made by Electro-Harmonix. I am very impressed with that. This pedal on the other hand just doesn't sound as good. It's all preference, but I feel that it makes the amp sound "boxy" and the distortion sound isn't all that great. I feel that a good tube amp shouldn't need a pedal like this one. Although I love Electro-Harmoix, I don't feel that this pedal does a good enough job.
This pedal blows away any Distortion I have ever run through. In my attempts to emulate that signature JCM2000 warm OD I stumbled across this tank! Swapped out the 12AY7 in the second position for a Mesa Boogie 12AX7 made in Russia, and watch out. With the gain at about 12 o'clock, and the Bass a lil higher than 2 o'clock I'm pulling AC/DC sound at no problem. With the Gain at around 4 oclock I'm killin my Old TSL60 stack I used to own. Purchase one, you wont be let down!!!
