Hi! We are want to buy a bass guitar pedal (like distortion). Big Muff Russian & Big Muff Bass - good, but the sound of it more fuzz & like electronic! Can you recommend us what to buy? And we are not fans of Blur, but in "Song 2 " bass guitar has nice sounding effect, what is the effect? (i think it's something looked like Big Muff). Thank You...

In the Song 2 video you see one of them kick a RAT distortion pedal.
But you can't see whether it's the guitarist or the bassist.
They both have a pedal in front of them in the bigger picture though.
So, it could be RAT, they seem to sound good for bass, Krist Novoselic used one on some Nirvana songs.

This thread is about Muffs and Rats so I'm moving it to the non-Boss section.

how about the new E-H Bass Big Muff Pi? I haven't used mine much yet, but it's a Muff optimized for bass guitar...

Don't know what the bass player used, but I can tell you that the guitarist used two ProCo Rats to achive his sound on that song.
So I'm guessing the rat being kicked is his.
I remember some awful guff from reading magazines.....
Anyway, hope that helps.
