Fantastic comparison. Just when I think I'd prefer Blue, I keep coming back to Red. There's something about it's growling presence that keeps sticking out to me. Thanks for the demo.
I dig your reviews. Love W&C. I love fuzzes. Not a fan of this pedal. In either flavor. But you you're playing so I'll watch until the end. Adding the bass was a nice touch and you should pull it out more often - and not just for fuzz.
Blue is definitely the winner for me. Theres a fullness to it thats well balanced to the grindiness more so than the Red, which sounds a lot more splatty to my ears. Both sound great, just different flavors of the same good.
Would like to have had more single note sustain . That is, after all, what it says on the knob to the far right. (I don’t think I have Ever seen a Big Muff demo or other fuzz pedals’ that mimic the Muffs do that - I don’t know why, as a major draw to the Big Muff is the singing sustain). Thanks for the demonstration, however. I don’t mean to sound negative at all as you definitely demonstrate the differences between the two however - regardless how slight that may be. Thank you for your time. God bless you. 😊🎸👨🏼⚕️🎸. 🫶✌️♾️
Significant differences between these two, but neither was clearly superior to the other: in fact, I found myself changing my mind frequently. I don't much like the Muff, I have to admit. It's not really a fuzz and not really a distortion, and it's hollow in the mids, which is where guitar is strongest. Although as you demonstrated it does have a range of sounds, it stamps its own character on all of them. For guitar, I prefer a 'proper' fuzz with better tone controls and more forward mids. It works for bass because that's less of a problem. Even then, I think I would want to blend the effected signal with the clean signal to firm up the note and boost the mids. Fuzz bass can be very cool. Fuzz-wah bass next!
Blue sounds a bit brighter more focused the red more raw and full with a touch more bass......that's from a fone speaker sooooo probably gonna have to get both of them lol

i had the EXACT same reaction!
Love them both. The blue is warmer. I'd take them both.
Love my Blue Violet. So good!

dude, that is a massive compliment. made my night/week/month! 🙏
Like all Big Muffs. You just need all them variants 😁
I let out an audible "whoa" when you held them up. I didn't know they were going to be HUGE! :D
haha right?!

The Caprid red is SUPER smooth
I think the blue would be fine for rhythm guitar and bass in a general context, you'd have to pick the context for lead.
I like both

But now I need you to compare those to the black-violet and small foot!!!!
black violet is the same as the blue. the difference is purely cosmetic. small foot is the same as the red. again, just cosmetic! 💪
@@DemosInTheDark you don't think the resistor and capacitor change made any difference in the little guy? I'll have to snag one!
black violet is the same as the blue violet right? or am I wrong?
@Josef Brosef he said only cosmetic
@@KalJoao yeah so the circuit is the same yeah?

Guess I have to get both
it’s the only way

i think that’s the right answer! 😂
Which do you personally prefer? I have the blue currently.
for what i play, the red seems to be a better fit. i like the looser low end.
Blue sounds more vocal and controllable on this side of the algorithm.
I have red and blu caprid , i prefer my"the good one "
How does the Good One compare in terms of tone? Thx
😎👍
Only diff is color.
Incorrect. The blue one and the black and purple one are identical. The red one is based on an earlier circuit.
I like both
