Musket love...

I have and have tried about 10 different fuzzes through my Rockerverb 50. Each of them seemed to make the amp sound hollow- something like a Crate 10" combo sort of solid-state sound. But I received the Musket V2 yesterday, and that is exactly what I've wanted out of a fuzz for years. I wasn't even excited about it because of all the irritations I had with fuzz pedals. It's super thick, tons of good tones, just a really fantastic pedal. Didn't even tweak it at first, just plugged it in and there it was.

I'm a huge fan of all of these: Hoof, Musket, Blunderbuss, anything that's a modded Russian Muff circuit basically..

I love my musket (part of a twosome but whatever)! Never really liked muffs until I tried this one, and it really seems like a keeper.

How I'm seeing this now is that without more controls on a fuzz, they are far less likely to work with a large variety of amps. So far, every 3-knob fuzz I've tried just seems like it's designed for a different, specific amp and I was settling on other pedals for the RV50 instead of using it with a fuzz. I tried the Musket with my Mesa Lonestar and VHT PIttbull 45 and it sounds fantastic with both because I'm able to tailor the tone for the amp. Absolutely love the Russian-based circuit, but my Russian muff sounds like ass compared to the Musket with the Orange. This was my first BE pedal, now I've got to try the Blunderbuss...

TRUE DAT.
Also, more different than the Musket than you might think.
Muskets offer so much to let your tailor the fuzz, they do really make the russian EH's sound like the one-trick ponies most of them are. The controls are pretty interactive too...every time I feel like I've gotten THE SOUND out of it, I tweak something a bit and it's like :eek: all over again.

One of the things I like the most is how the exact same settings can sound great on guitar AND bass, no tweaking involved (except maybe turning the tone down a bit for bass), which is new for me.

Big fan of the Musket. Can't see myself ever selling my Twosome.

Another pedal I want to try but has side jacks. Companies need to stop the side jacks!
