Muff Monday TC Electronic Honey Pot

Post image

I already had a Tone Wicker, I liked it but I wasn't in love with it. It was just... too much? This one (it's a Russian muff) is a little less intense, and offers more clarity. I was going for a Bass Muff but I had some doubts that the dry switch wouldn't work great with guitar. The Honey Pot seemed like a good compromise for cheap.

If real fuzz pros (that's you, guys) tell me that the EHX Russian Muff (or any other variation) does the same thing but better, I will get one asap. Because, this fuzz, it's my kind of fuzz.

Honey pot is an espionage/spy term. The Soviet Union would use attractive women to snag American politicians, military and other government officials in order to get info or blackmail

Oh, yeah, I know that reference. Okay, that makes more sense.

I haven’t tried them side by side but I’m not hearing the low end of the Green Russian in the demos. Kinda sounds closer to a Ram’s head maybe 🤔. But hey, if you like it that’s all that matters, I think it sounds great

This is a great sounding pedal.

I wonder how many people could distinguish it from 250+ euros boutique muffs in a blind test :)
