Midnight Train
Civil War Big Muff-inspired fuzz with three-way mids switch (stock, low-mid bump, high-mid bump) for enhanced mix presence and versatility.
The Midnight Train is Siren Pedals' homage to Civil War era Big Muff, one of most revered versions of Electro-Harmonix's legendary fuzz circuit. Pedal maintains all classic character, depth, and wonder of original Big Muff design while addressing one of its most common criticisms: tendency to get lost in mix during band situations due to midrange scoop. Midnight Train solves this problem with thoughtful circuit modification that expands its versatility.
Control layout includes three classic Big Muff knobs: Volume for output level, Tone for frequency balance (sweeping from dark and woolly to bright and cutting), and Fuzz for controlling amount of sustain and saturation. These controls provide foundational Big Muff sound characterized by plenty of sustain, fat low end, and smooth, creamy fuzz tones. Pedal can deliver everything from light fuzz with singing sustain to massive walls of saturated distortion.
Key innovation is three-way Mids toggle switch offering three distinct midrange voicings: Stock (traditional Big Muff mid scoop), Low-Mid Bump (adds presence in lower midrange for thickness and body), and High-Mid Bump (adds upper midrange for cutting through and definition). According to reviews, tonal changes these differing selections produce will peel your eyes open, punch you in face and have you begging for more in best possible way. This switch transforms Midnight Train from traditional Muff that might disappear in full band to versatile fuzz that can be tailored to sit perfectly in any mix.
Handcrafted in Nashville with top-mounted jacks and available with either 9V battery or external power supply operation, Midnight Train offers true bypass switching. At 99, it represents enhanced take on Civil War Muff formula, suitable for both fuzz newcomers and experienced players seeking authentic Big Muff tones with modern flexibility.
