Told you it fucking slays on the bass.

I may have to buy another one just because I miss it.

Updated my board a bit:


Utter Stutter -> Muza FD900 (digital delay into reverb)
In the Utter Stutter is Arc Flash -> Earthquaker Disaster Transport Jr. -> Ruiner with Dark Boost/Ruiner toggle -> TAFM

As soon as I get a job I'm buying another Big Spider in green
I'd like a phaser or something as well, but the Big Spider is my true love.
I'm really digging the Muza. As in wfs1234's writeup, it's so much easier to get excellent outer space ambiance than it is typical reverb sounds. And that's exactly what I was going for!

Where did you end up picking up the muza i've been talking to my local shop if they can get one for me, but if they decide to ask for twice as much then..........

Got mine on eBay, they're on Amazon too but a little more expensive.

It's got tap tempo, a rudimentary looping feature, can do 100% wet reverse delay into 100% wet reverse reverb , trail toggle ...although I have to break out the booklet every time I want to do that last one. You have to do some weird shit.

I noticed that if you want it to be dead quiet then you should turn down the reverb volume; if it's up and you aren't playing anything, and you are really paying attention then you can ever so slightly hear a bit of noise. I'm not sure if this is caused by the trails being on or not though -- I'm too lazy to turn them off. Obviously the pedal is not true bypass and it does affect your signal in some way, but "tone suck" is subjective. If it's sucking any tone then I'm not noticing it. I've plugged into it, then plugged in straight to the amp and there doesn't seem to be a loss of volume or magical tone fairies.

Plays with fuzz...just fine! I like it before and after fuzz, but I'm much more of a bass guy than guitar, so I find the reverb at the end to be more useful overall (when I actually do end up using it for bass and not just space). It's great for noisy stuff if you put it at the beginning of your chain though, and when it's like that your loops can be sent into all of your other pedals. When we take all of our gear to my friend's house, I'm going to try out the stereo ping-pong delay...

Get it if: You enjoy the Boss RV-3, spacey sounds, shoegaze, ambient music, jack-of-all-trades versatility.
Don't get it if: You're looking for natural-sounding reverb or delay. It's not particularly warm-sounding to me, but that's what I wanted from it -- this pedal is exactly what I wanted short of a rack reverb unit. My opinion probably differs greatly from the average TGPer though.

Oh yeah, you can get it to like..."self-oscillate, but not really". It's a weird sound, doesn't oscillate in the same way as my Disaster Transport Jr or like how a DD-3 does. The sound doesn't build on itself until it becomes deafening, but it still oscillates...
The "spring" setting is cool because if you smack the input hard enough it actually makes a fake spring crash noise, like you kicked a reverb tank. In a feedback looper it makes weird bubbly sounds.

And also, it's very finicky with feedback loopers. It doesn't seem to do anything if you have it going into the looper alone, but with others it gets pretty neat...but also it depends on WHAT other pedals you have in the chain. If you put it and only one other pedal in there, you get a totally different sound than having it and 3 others, even if the Muza is the only one on...I'm assuming this is related to the non-true bypass...ness.

I would say needs moar delay..but SmallEQ don't jive on delay, sooo..

and by that i mean i love you and thanks for the heads up on that sick looking Muzzi bitch. just ordered one.

in my mind when i read Achtane i hear Dert Nasty. just like Eric! turns into Roll Bums/Set Fire/Party With Robots.

<3

I've gotta try me a muzzle!

Oh behndy <3

Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeet.

I want a Doomidrive so bad

it's a great pedal. really diggin the hell outta this...all the dirt pedals sound great, and both fuzzes sound great stacked with the Doomidrive as well.
Wattson + Creepy Fingers is just ridiculous.

the only maaaaybe change is swapping the CC for a Malekko 616 eventually.

really digging the color scheme of that board loud wizard, jealous of your megalith too. been gassing for one lately

Loveclone Meatball (w/Moog exp) -> tuner -> Whetstone -> Moog Ring Mod -> Geiger Counter -> BYOC Rat -> King of Tone clone -> Brig -> Space

I have a few dirt pedals sitting on the cab for quick swapping depending on mood. Timmy can be subbed in for the Rat, and OpAmp Muff, WIIO, or Sound Shank in the place of the KOT.
