Information
Build Your Own Clone (2006)
The Large Beaver is a clone of the "triangle era" muff. This is one of the earliest versions of the muff and is pretty much unanimously considered by those who know to sound much better than the NYC reissue or any of the other versions. If you're looking for a high gain distortion with a fuzzy flavor that can give you that "wall of sound" tone, this is it. Oh... and it only takes up about a third of the space that the real thing does.
