Just ordered a D*A*M Ram Head...

Post by Ursoluno » Thu Dec 21, 2006 12:42 pm

Anybody have one of these?

I've heard they're pretty much the end-all be-all of my favorite era of Big Muff clones.

Should be a lot of fun!

i use to have an original rams head, selling it was one of the worst decisions i've made in a while, i really like the way it sounded, once iget some more $ I'll be getting another one

what's this company D.A.M? does it sound any good? like an original?

I've got a D*A*M Ram Head .. I like it a lot. It sounds pretty much like what I would want from a muff. I've never had an original Ram Head to compare it with though.

Mr. M, D*A*M are a UK company building pedals mostly based on old stomp boxes. They're located just across the border from me: http://www.stompboxes.co.uk/

Their site has links to dealers, who will have prices.

I don't know of any clips I'm afraid. Maybe in their forum?

I've had a bit of time with this box now.

Definitely a great-sounding fuzz.  So far, I've found that it sounds much better with my Jaguar than with my Telecaster.

I think it sounds better going straight into an amp, though.  I had a few buffered Boss boxes after it (two PN-2s and a DM-2) and the sound suffered a bit.

It's nice to hear a Muff sustain like it should.  The newer EH American reissues just don't do it for me.
