Sequel to MAE favourite, Black Math
MAE Civil Math
The Russian big muff is revered in the pantheon of pedals and among that class is MAE’s other favorite, the Civil War. The first generation of Russian big muffs had less gain and more of a round character then it’s American cousins. When MAE took to adopting it to the Black Math format they took a couple liberties with the formula. They gave the muff side a lower gain transistor set to really give it a different texture and emphasize the roundness. And then in true MAE fashion, they then took the boost section and completely reconfigured it with double the gain of the normal boost to completely smash it to bits. You also get the features that made Black Math a player favorite, the better voiced to gain control and the blowout switch to really suit the sound to your needs.

The Lowdown From
Team Machine
Another pedal board friendly beast from MAE. Think first generation muff sounds with a high gain boost section. Nice.
