Glutnik - Poison Noises
Oct 20 2022The Glutnik by Poison Noises is a unique take on the Russian Big Muff Fuzz.
my favorite part about the Glutnik is that it doesn't really feel like a Big Muff when you explore some of it's extra toggles and knobs. Just choosing different options for diodes, bypassing the tone stack and applying the "wrong" bias gives this a whole different vibe.
It reminds me more of a gnarly, fuzzy preamp. Which I absolutely enjoy.
If you're tired of playing the same old Big Muff clones, give this one a whirl.
