The Skreddy Pedals Perestroika is a fuzz pedal based on the Russian-made version of the Big Muff, specifically the green and gray enclosures from the early 1990s rather than the black ones. Skreddy describes it as an "early 90's style Russian muffy distortion," and it sits in the maker's range of Big Muff-derived fuzz designs alongside pedals like the Skreddy Pedals Lunar Module Deluxe and the Skreddy Pedals General Pig.1
What it does
The Perestroika takes the Russian Big Muff platform and voices it in a particular way. According to Skreddy, different capacitors in the clipping section make it bassier than earlier Big Muff designs, and different capacitors in the tone stack shift the mid scoop frequency higher. For a player, that means a fuzz with more low end retained and a mid dip that lands in a different place in the frequency range than the classic designs it draws from.1
Skreddy's own words on the circuit basis:
"Russian version Big Muff like the green and the grey ones (not the black ones)."
