My New Distortion Pedal


I'd been considering buying a distortion pedal for over a year now, and finally bought one about a month ago. My main motivation for buying a distortion pedal was my desire to learn Muse's 'Hysteria.' (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uJg8U0QMXEQ)


Muse's bassist, Christopher Wolstenholme uses the Russian Big Muff Pi in 'Hysteria', so I decided I would try it out. (http://www.ehx.com/products/big-muff-pi-russian)


I think the Russian model is discontinued now, but I found a new one on ebay for $69. So far, I really like it, though it wasn't originally intended for the bass guitar.


Electro-Harmonix has a Bass Big Muff Pi, but from what I've read, many bassist opt for the Russian guitar version. ( http://www.ehx.com/browse/bass-pedals)
