The beautiful thing about both of these is that you can get each of them for less that 100 USD. That is just amazing. I picked up a green Russian yesterday after letting one go a couple of years ago and yes it really really does a great Gilmour sound. Can’t wait to set it up with my pedalboard this weekend and really rock out

[irazida]

The best tutorial I have ever seen about these famous Big Muff. Thanks to you, I chose Russian because I've always preferred the live approach to Gilmour's warmer sound.

[mustyguitar]

Ram's Head has more gain, hence it's a little more noisy. It's crispier and louder actually, and it screams nice.
Green Russian has more mids and it has little or no noise. It's warmer, great for almost all tones!

[elflakeador]

That comfortably numb solo is spine tingling stuff

[thebreakfastmenu]

As a fellow Gilmour aficionado, I gotta say, the Sovtek Big Muff Deluxe is the best Big Muff for Gilmour, because it has a controllable mid boost and a noise gate and a wicker. I'm surprised more Gilmour fans haven't latched onto them. Having said that, this video has almost convinced me to get a Rams Head.

[ummagumma]

Jeez dude you play really well. The Animals soloing was great

[ChickenMeister]

No talking review with David Gilmour tones. Fuck it. Subbed.

[crowofjudgement]

Absolutely love your playing and tones! Officially subscribed. Keep it up 🎸🔥

[bimguff]

Both sound great. The rams head is a tiny bit more authentic to Gilmore's tone.

[andredegiant]

The bottom line is you can't give wrong with either and you can have both for about the same price as most clones. Of the 4 reissues, these are my favorites

[gregorykapanowski]

The problem is everyone is missing the fact that even Gilmour boosted his green muff to get his tone.

[needler]

I actually left the video playing in the background while I was at another page, and the first 1 and half minutes I thought he was playing only on the Green Russian. Only realized he was playing both in between after I played back. 😅😅

I have a Ram's Head, purchased without having tested other models, and I was thinking of replacing it with a Green Russian after listening to a few demos. Thanks to your comparison video, I realize that the difference isn't that big, it's quite similar and it will not fundamentally change my sound. I have to say that I'm not especially trying to sound like David Gilmour, the music I play is more grungy. So thank you very much for this video, I'll probably save some money by watching it.

[dmitriyakupov]

Thank you so much! Awesome video and playing! You are great!

[driver]

I am big on Muff Pi for sure. Besides that, however, the Ram’s Head is honestly my favorite.

[tkmclaughlin]

Freaking awesome. I like the ram’s head but I imagine everyone goes for what they like best.

[eliottboussemart]

Nice playing, nailed it !
I have a little question, for you which one is the best for Gilmour tone, if you could choose only one of these two ?

[ponzo]

What amp did you use...btw great playing ❤

[chickimac]

I like the Russian the best. Has that mid range punch

[jakepark]

Great comparison! I wanted to build my first pedalboard. I bought an isolated power supply and everything and I have a delay and phaser pedal. I wanted to get a big muff pedal too. I like the sound of the Rams head more and I prefer to get studio tones which you said it is better for. But I see in the comments you are also saying that it makes a lot of noise. Which pedal do you recommend I get? I have an isolated power supply so maybe it being loud isn't an issue if that's what you mean but yeah not sure which to get. Thanks, great videos!
