sound quality. the russian one is a much thinner sound. it doesn't have that big "WHOOMF" sound that you'd expect from a US big muff. I had a russian one for ages and never could really like the sound. Then, I borrowed a US one from a friend of mine and it was like night and day.
The Russian one's a very transparent pedal. Bass players usually prefer this one for the sole fact that it lets the sound of their amp blend with the tone of the pedal.
For the quintessential, late-90's enormous guitar tone, I'd go with the US one. You wont be disappointed.
