ARC EFFECTS BIG GREEN
A little history. Over the years the early pedals were
$190.00 USD |
He moved to Russia just after the fall of communism and started a new company ...Sovtek
Using Russian parts he made a new Big Muff the 'high front' Russian Muff ...painted in an army 'Drab Green'
Many think it was not only the fattest fullest Muff..but it had a unique sound too.
Pedal makers have tried and produce pedals based off of this design. The general overall sound is there but none have got that woody hollow resonance of the original.
The big difference with the Arc is that they nailed it!!!
When It comes to great sound detail is everything!
Many makers do the Sovtek. The Way Huge Swollen Pickle Fuzz is a case in point. It sounds amazing until compared with the ARC. The tone of the ARC does not have to be optimized for only the one massive setting for shredding and power chords. Lighter settings sound so rich that they can be used for accompaniment parts behind the vocals etc. This quite literally makes this pedal in my mind as 'twice' as good as it's competitors. It is the equivalent of an OD that has both a good medium and high gain. I do not know of another fuzz with a good medium gain sound.
If I had the room on my board I would order one today!
