Big muff advice

[gub]

May seem like a silly question question but I am new to effects and have tried using my electo harmonix bass big muff live and it loses a lot of bottom end , do I need to play through 2 cabs and split the effects ?

that is a good option if you are able to.

otherwise get a blender like a boss LS-2, which will split your signal, allowing you to blend your clean tone in with the effected signal.

I have no problem with bottom end on my big muff, as long as the tone is rolled completely off, how is yours set?

Cheers Phil , jack is am not sure mate as stopped using it a while ago and can't even remember tbh , will give it another go in rehearsal and have a fiddle with the settings .

This tends to be the bit that goes missing... and never quite comes back, with the Big Muff. Bottom end should be fine, if you roll the tone off.

I must admit I have not tried it through the terror yet , will have a play around with it on wednesday , cheers for advice guys

yeah try the clean blend setting for more punch

It does have a bass boost setting as well remember, try that with the tone past 12. The problem I have with mine is that the toggle switch is broken in that position to I don't have any other option! It really comes in useful for dance tunes though, Tone at about 11:00, sustain at about 1:00 brings out some nice sub frequencies I use it with a Danelectro FAB chorus and it sounds deeper than the abyss itself!
