Fulltone MAS MALO vs. RAT vs. Big Muff 

With the Fulltone shop closing, and our favorite cantankerous tone uncle moving on to adventures in Nashville, I thought it would be fun to revisit one of his spicier and woefully less well-known pedals.
The Fulltone MAS MALO is often compared to the Big Muff on all the gear pages. But does it really sound like a Big Muff, or is that just the gear community hive mind stuck in a feedback loop?
Short answer... nope. It's def not any sort of Big Muff.
(It's not a RAT either, as you'll hear; but it's certainly in the ballpark of our favorite LM308-loaded rodent.)
