of all the 3 pedals ive ever owned, the one i hated most was the ehx bass big muff it was just such a horrible raspy fuzz, personally i prefer the effect i get from a boss ds1 which is nowhere near as popular as the big muff for bass, just wondering if anyone else shares my thoughts because it seems that pedal is very popular. maybe i just dont like fuzz i guess?

I  am with you here. I have tried a couple of big muffs and YUCK!     I cant get it to sound good at all on any bass with any setting - people do like them and ive heard some people on you tube mix it in with other effects and it sounds decent - but I cant get nuffin decent out of it -- I think a lot of people like sans amp for their dirt on bass - but ... I prefer cleaner tones on bass anyway - - so right there that sorta makes me biased BUT I like other dirt on basses that I hear from others I just havnt been able to create my own personal dirt tone -- especially on a big muff -- which my wife makes a face and a  joke and winces at the name on the box   about every time she walks pass the box it came in
