The FU guy.
It has a totally different use than an OD pedal. Muff is a fuzz, and a dirty one too. I used to own that same Russian model.
ok because Im love the guitar tone and are trying to archive that sound so any suggestion of what they use would be great!
I just bought mine and man do I LOVE IT!....just go and buy one...I had to order mine from germany but it was worth it!

The more I am in this forum, the more I see people asking how to achieve a certain bands sound, instead of searching for their own...........
yes. but in the search of a specific tone you learn how to achieve your own tone. you can never get the same tone unless you record with all the same gear and are in the same room, but in search for your great tone, you have to study others.

Even if you have the same gear and the same room, unless you have their arms surgical transplanted onto your body, you won't sound like them. Most amps/amp sims I play through, I sound similar, obviously there is good and bad tones, but a player will always sound similar through most decent setups.
Also, do you know Soilwork's exact settings? Because unless you do, trying to get the same gear as them is a waste of time, when you have a shitload of variables when it comes to settings, and even parts, I mean you might have the same amp/guitar/pedal on all the same settings, but they might have a different resistor on the tone pot that is letting more or less high end through, that you may never figure out.
What I'm trying to say is you're right with trying to get a tone similar to your favourite band, but I wouldn't go and buy everything they use. I did this in the past with Children Of Bodom, I own pretty much the exact setup they used for Hate Crew Deathroll, but I've now realised that this setup is shit for anything but a tone like theirs, and I'm now in search of a different (more versatile setup). I'd say get a good amp/pedal combo, like a 5150 with a TS-9 or clone (see Maxon), and just fuck with it till it sounds good to YOU, not till it sounds close to a certain band.
Sorry if this sounds like I'm being an ass, I'm just sharing my past experience from being a complete Children Of Bodom fanboy in the past, that just because a certain band uses a certain setup, doesn't mean it's going to sound good when you use it, let alone get near the tone they get from it.
yes, I see your point and I agree but it still fun and you learn alot in trying to get that tone, I dont mean I will go and buy all their stuff im just intrested in how they recorded the guitars and with what gear.
And I got my 5150 evh "first edition"
and a maxon so I get decent tones already...just waiting on my UA 610, hopefully that will even make it better. cheers

But I think it would be stupid not to try the tools other ones use to get a good sound. Like "Hey, look, he´s got tires on his car. Perhaps I should try`em too, to get my one to work..."

I understand the point you're making, but that analogy is not a good one, you need tires to get a car to run properly. Now if you'd said "Hey, look, he's got Silverstone (or whatever) tires on his car. Perhaps I should try them on my car" that would be a fair analogy.

Man, I've just realised I post some complete and utter shit on this forum lol, I end up writing essays about shit that's not worth it lol.
