Andrew Bird uses two DL-4s live for looping, one each for pizzicato and arco. How does he sync them? Just tap accurately! Sometimes they get out of time but nobody cares.
The Big Muff's tone has a tendency to get lost in the mix. This is known as the "Muff Dive" phenomenon.

I tried a Big Muff at a Daddy's Junkie Music, with some kind of Stratocaster, going through a really old Fender silverface amp. It just sounded kind of boring. It was either normal distortion, or muddy fuzz. I wish I could get that kind of fuzz J Mascis uses in the song "Little Fury Things" or like this really fuzzy guitar bit from "You Were Right" by Built to Spill.
I have yet to find a pedal that does either. I was really unimpressed by the Big Muff to say the least.
Ballard:
Dude, a little piece of J Mascis's soul is shipped inside every Big Muff. It's basically THE Dinosaur Jr. sound packaged in a small metal box.
I agree that it's not an extremely versatile pedal, but if you can't get that one band's tone out of it, you're doing it wrong.

J Mascis's Big Muff collection:
They're the old ones, so they sound a bit different...
Johnny C:
Death By Audio has released a new pedal.
It sounds fucking awesome.
