This one has true bypass and a few extra filters so as long as you like the general muff sound I don't think you could go wrong.

The Micro Muff has worse reviews as I believe it is a different circuit.

That's because the Micro Muff isn't the Micro Muff... it's the Muff Fuzz, a reissue of their original fuzz, with just the volume control and only one gain stage. A whole different animal!

I've built one together with a Z.Vex Super Hard On replica (1 euro 50 in parts.. can you believe that?) in one box, the muff also having a voltage control to get me some crazy muted fuzz sounds :D
