The Big Muff Pi “Ram’s Head” fuzz circuit is one of the most well-known, coveted and revered sounds in the history of guitar effects, heard on countless classic albums and in live shows over the past 4+ decades. While the original pedals are expensive and difficult to obtain, there are a number of companies who make tasty recreations of this type of sound, emulating that specific fuzz tone to a T. The M-1 Ram’s Head Fuzz from Buffalo FX is exactly one of these creations, and we couldn’t be more thrilled to take another look at another killer fuzz pedal.

M1 Fuzz

Sonic replica with a few tweaks of a well known valve powered pedal associated with Gilmour, Johnson & J Mascis. Powerful EQ tweaked for less harshness and fizz at lower volumes. Additional headroom allows it to be used as a clean boost to push a tube amp to it's sweet spot or musical overdrive gives a natural tone into a clean platform.

TD-X

Eingefleischten David Gilmour Fans dürfte das “Civil War” Big Muff Fuzz von Electro Harmonix sicherlich ein Begriff sein, kam dieses Pedal doch auf dem Live Album „Pulse“ der Band Pink Floyd ausgiebig zum Einsatz. Das inzwischen sehr begehrte Pedal wurde zu Beginn der 90er Jahre in Russland hergestellt. Der spezielle Name rührt dabei von der grau-blauen Farbgebung her, die an die beiden Parteien des amerikanischen Bürgerkriegs erinnert. Buffalo FX aus Frankreich hat nun mit Patriot MKII ein weiteres Fuzz-Pedal im Angebot, das sich dieser Schaltung annimmt und diese mit einem Bass-Cut und einer Mid-Boost-Option verfeinert.    

French pedal maker Buffalo FX has introduced the Patriot Mk II, an update to its original Patriot muff circuit.
The Patriot is based on the Civil War Muff circuit, with Buffalo promising David Gilmour-like tones circa Pink Floyd’s 1994 The Division Bell tour. The new iteration offers the full range of tones of the original Patriot, with additional low-end cut and midrange boost.

Patriot MkII

Tonally, the Carrera sits somewhere between the TD-X and Evolution (or a Boss BD-2 and Rat). Whereas the TD-X can sound a bit thin and bright on some mids scooped high headroom amps, the Carrera has that extra mids hump that maintains the character and warmth of the pedal.
