Fredric Effects
Green Russian Big Muff
Many players prefer the lower gain, biggerbottomed tones of the green Russian
Big Muffs manufactured in the early 90s,
especially players of bass, and those that
specialize in the heavier genres of music
that fall under the wide umbrella of rock.
There are plenty of clones of these about,
and one of my favorites is from London’s
Fredric Effects. It is the no-nonsense Green
Russian Big Muff, and as its name leaves
no question as to its intent, neither does
its army green, star-emblazoned housing,
or its standard-issue trio of control knobs.
Fredric Effects simply doesn’t mess around,
and as such, its Green Russian Big Muff
is an ideal compact, no-frills, low-dough,
green Russian Muff that will deliver the
tones every night, and be steadfast and
reliable in the face of whatever you throw
at it. It goes for about 147 U.S. dollars,
sounds identical to the best Sovtek green
Russians, and is extremely well-made.
"an ideal compact, no-frills, low-dough,

the tones every night."
