The Tsar Bomba is a Muff style circuit which is both 15dB quieter than a standard Muff and 5dB louder. One complaint occasionally heard with Muffs is that they can sound great on their own but get lost when played in a band. The Tsar Bomba employs an original design tone circuit which allows for very precise sculpting to help you carve out your place in a mix.

A classic topology updated with modern enhancements, Tsar Bomba is perfect for dialing in wooly Muff-style tones galore. On the volume control, Tsar Bomba gives you a flexible range that extends 15dB below standard designs and 5dB above, ensuring you have enough gain on tap to boost overhead or sit back in the mix. The tone control circuit has been carefully designed from scratch to provide precise sculpting, letting you create tones that cut through full ensemble settings where most muffs would be buried. If you love the classic sound of muff-style fuzz but are looking for something with a little more punch, Tsar Bomba from Union Tube & Transistor is ready to rock.
