I AB'd that with my muff (a green Sovtek version I built with loads of NOS parts) and the Muff just sounded way better solo, but I guess I need to consider its role in the mix more. Any other suggestions of cool bass fuzzes that could work in this context?
Comparing muffs to rats is an apples to bananas situation. You have a mid scoop in tone and mid bump in the other. Alone, typically a muff will destroy a rat, but in a mix, again typically a middy distortion, like the rat or MXR BD will push through. You'll feel a muff, but hear a rat.
