I have rarely, if ever, received so many requests for a review. The pedal is already legendary, it seems, blowing one competitor off the field after another. I’m talking about the Muffroom Cloud from Thorpy FX. So, here it is, my review.
I’ve lost count over how many Big Muff inspired pedals I’ve reviewed over the years but it’s quite a few. I must admit that it takes a lot to impress me these days. I mean, how is it even possible to offer something new and exciting on that circuit?
Well, the Muffroom Cloud certainly offer something new when it comes to design. The super cool box both look and feels like it could withstand an atomic bomb and the details in the engravings are beautiful. Another new feature is the fact that the tone control is replaced by a powerful two-band EQ controlling the bass and treble.
David Gilmour is known for his silky smooth Big Muff tones. It’s the combination of his Strat, the mid rangy Hiwatts set to near breaking point and the addition of a booster. All this, adds an amp like character to the Muff but it also makes the Muff sound less like a fuzz and more like a modern distortion...
