What's the best one? At first I thought I'd get the Little Big Muff because it will fit in the lining of my hardshell case, but then I read that Sonic Youth uses the Russian one. I looked at all three at my local guitar store; the Russian one is cheapest, but it is made of plastic. It is $20 cheaper than the LBM but they're all pretty cheap and it would be worth it to play the kind of stuff I play. And yes, I will probably playtest them first if I'm allowed, but three minutes of jamming won't make as much of an impact as people who use them everyday. What do you all think?

What on earth sort of Russian EHX clone is plastic? I'd kill for one, because every week I trip on my Small Stone and those sharp corners hurt!
The biggest difference is between the russian and the American, iirc, and the main difference between the american regular and the LBM is that the little one's a tad bassier. The American models have true bypass, and so will make a racket when you turn it on or off. The russian one won't.

Actually the recent Russians have been true bypass as well. Mine is.
