Works the other way round, too. More subtle things: reduce input gain.

Yep, that's what I did. Dialled back the input, said "doh!" to myself and dropped back in for a thank you. Thanks.

Yep, older muffs do vary wildly but not just from constantly changing parts. Back in the day, the same parts could vary a lot as manufacturing tolerances were not as tight as they are today.
Then, add to that the fact that component values can drift with age. This all means that finding any two vintage Muffs that sound exactly alike is near impossible. Even back in the day, top players would often go through dozens of them before they found that "magic" one.

That being said, I'm a fan of both EFM's and Mokafix's muff emus.

Does the Mokafix guy do anything new in 2017? His plugins were awesome and way ahead of the times

Not sure who EFM is by the way.

Mokafix is/was Efflam Lebivic. He now works for Native Instruments as a GUI designer. He's not doing any plugins on his own anymore. EFM....Electronics For Music was TomG from Texas. He's also not active in VST development anymore but many of his plugins are still online in various places.

I'm a big fan of the big muff and I'm having a similar situation in Logic pro x. I usually plug my guitar straight into my interface and use the pedal plugins. How have other people been getting on with going GTR > Effects pedal (eg. big muff) > Interface ?
I use a focusrite saffire le firewire interface

There are a few things I've learned over the years re: Big Muffs. One, in a live situation, not a damn person in the audience can tell the difference which muff you're using. Two, they're amazing to put just before a Whammy pedal if you really want to highlight the glitchy noise. Three, the compress the crap out of your signal (see also, Fripp, Gilmour, et al.)

But importantly, like most fuzz pedals, the react wildly different to different inputs (literally, the signal hitting the front end of the box), always a hint of uncontrolled abandon.

Every plugin version I've tried is a bit tame, a bit too refined.

I did a video comparing 10 different Muff plug-ins. I love the kuassa and the audiority. Also working on a blues driver plugin shootout (audified & TH-U).

Massive oversight not to look at the Fuse Audio Big Muff.

I run a Presonus Tube Pre v1 after pedals but before the interface. Replaced the Chinese stock tube with a Mesa Boogie V1 preamp tube and it gets that nice Guitar>fuzz>tube amp reaction into the right MArshall plexi type ampsim. Even just the tube preamp alone gives you the nice touch sensitive feel/reaction into virtual pedals and ampsims, and even the tube preamp can be overdriven too for nice natural tube breakup/overdrive.

Best Virtual Big Muff and Blues Driver Plugin version?
