[Heeplist] Analog music recording

[Shawn Mctopy]

Igor,


Glad you enjoyed the *Big Muff* comparison video.


I own, and use, one of the dark green *'Tank'* models myself. I love that
gizmo!



The Sovtek *Big Muff Pi* and the Dunlop reissued *FUZZ-FACE* pedals are
some of my favorite analog gizmos.



There are digital emulations out there, but there is truly nothing like the
real analog thing!

:)


Take Care ... and as always - Keep A *HEEP'n!*
