It's a musical supply order company. They have the new green one in their catalog for $56.99. You can call them and order one @1-800-776-5173. The catalog description is as follows: Electro-Harmonix Big Muff Distortion/Sustainer Distortion/Sustainer effect that countless psychedelic rangers such as Jimi Hendrix used for rich, creamy violin-like sustain. Same as the prized classic with low-noise military grade transistors. Item Number 15-3300 I can tell you that I have one of these things, and if you're looking for a good heavy distortion, this is definitely not what you want to get. It is so bass heavy and raunchy sounding it'll make you queasy. There is some range of tone to the tone dial, but it's not very sufficient. They do sustain for ever, but the sound is pretty much limited to what you would expect a speaker cabinet covered with feather pillows to sound like. It's pretty cool for a bass distortion, and I do believe Failure had a Big Muff in the bass effects rack. Maybe I just don't have very much experience with muffs. Hope this helps/does not discourage you. Scott .
