I've got a US big muff on my bass pedalboard right now and love it.

yeah, i've got the black russian one, i'd love to try out a green one though. i used to have it on my board when i had 15 pedals, but i scaled back and have actually really gotten into using more mid-level overdrives for powerful tones. with a great class A amp, and some really great sensitive pedals, you can get pretty heavily distorted without a pedal like the big muff. that's part of my problem with big muff's, they're not very sensitive, they're just really fuzzy, there's no real intensity contained in the tone. it doesn't really respond to playing dynamics.
