Elephant Skin

Troy Sanders (Mastodon) signature pedal combining the unmodified Tall Font Russian Sovtek Big Muff circuit with an independent extra gain stage. Dual-footswitch design—one for the fuzz, one to engage the additional gain channel.

Volume, Tone, and Distortion for the Tall Font Russian section, plus XT knob controlling the extra gain stage volume. The gain stage works independently as a slightly gritty clean boost, or stacks with the fuzz for a more aggressive tone. Lower saturation than most Muffs provides more breathing room.

Designed with and for Troy Sanders specifically for bass use. The Tall Font Russian circuit's lower saturation suits bass frequencies, and the switchable gain stage adds versatility for going from clean boost to crushing fuzz mid-set. 8mA draw, 3.7 x 4.7 x 1.6 inches, 14 oz.
