The Animatron is a pedal based on the sought-after dirt box called the Animato, famously used by Chris Wolstenholme. Adam Crowell has dissected and demystified the pedal, making some tweaks and additions to the original Big Muff circuit.The pedal features a pair of germanium cans at the front, giving it a warm growl that sets it apart from other Muff-based pedals. While it can be used with guitar, it really shines when used with bass.It’s important to note that the Tone control on this pedal works in reverse, acting more as a treble cut rather than a traditional tone control. Additionally, this pedal is known to be quite noisy compared to a standard Muff.In conclusion, if you’re familiar with the original Animato and are interested in its unique sound, the Animatron may be worth the hype for you.
