MUSKET FUZZ V2 FROM BLACKOUT EFFECTORS - REVIEW
Musket_Demo_Mess.mp3
Musket_Light_Boost_Demo.mp3
Comparison_DemoLeads_P2_BYOC_Musket_PigMine.mp3 - Comparing the (in this order) P-2, BYOC Beaver, Musket, and Pig Mine. Black Strat and Fender Twin. I had a Boss CE5 chorus and DD2 delay on. Funny how the P-2 and Beaver sound practically identical with Gilmour settings.
Comparison_Demo_NoteClarity_P2_BYOC_Musket_PigMine.mp3 - Here is the same, but comparing the clarity of individual notes with a slightly dirty boost. First is a light boost for each pedal, then a dirty boost.
Musket_Neck_Pickup_Strat.mp3 - Here is a clean boost on the Musket, doing a bit of SOYCD, all strat CS69 neck pickup. I crank the pre knob way up towards the end. Boss CE-5 chorus and Boss DD-2 delay.
Turning Away WITH MUSKET_CS2_CE2_Nova.mp3 - For comparison with Stomp CWM and CW Sovtek for Pulse tone.
Turning Away WITH MUSKET_NO_COMP_CE2_NOVA.mp3
- Same as above but with no compressor. Used PRE knob in place of Boss CS-2 compressor.

late 80s-early 90s Gilmour HM2 settings with mid boost of GE-7. This set up is for EMG Strat with SPC on full.
Works for Pulse tones, like Sorrow, and mid bright HM2 stuff like the Pete Townshend Deep End show.

EMG DG-20 bridge pickup with pedal settings shown above. Playing Pink Floyd's Time solo, similar to The Delicate Sound of Thunder tone with a Ram's Head Big Muff and mids boost from a Boss GE-7. I turn each pedal on in sequence to hear what each contributes to the tone. Note that each pedal adds minimaly to the tone, but when combined they complete the sound. Also note that the tone still works just as well without the Tube Driver and compressor, but with less drive to the Muff sustain should be increased. The primary pedals are the Muff, EQ, chorus, and delay.

EMG DG-20 bridge pickup with pedal settings shown above. Playing Pink Floyd's Time solo, similar to Pulse tone with a Civil War Big Muff and mids boost from a GE-7. I turn each pedal on in sequence to hear what each contributes to the tone. Either the Tube Driver or compressor could be removed from this chain without drastically affecting the tone, though there woul be less drive.
Same as above, but playing Pink Floyd's On the Turning Away solo.

BRICK MUFF VS SUF VRH
Here you go. I was surprised when listening back that I don't "hear" as much difference listening back as when I am playing them. The subtle difference is more in the feel of the tone when playing - as in certain subtle harmonic and tremolo vibrations come differently with each. I like the Brick better, but the VRH is a pretty sweet sound.
Here are some clips with just the Muffs with sustain around 75%. Brick first, then VRH in each clip. SSL-5 Strat with Reeves Custom 50.
