Li'l Green

Li’l Green distills everything you love about the Green Russian into a pedalboard-friendly 125B enclosure, delivering the same authentic vintage muff tone with modern versatility and convenience.

Unparalleled Tonal Accuracy: This pedal has been obsessively designed to replicate the warm, thick tone of the original Green Russian. I have built nearly every publicly available Green Russian clone I can find and none have accurately captured the mellow thick and wooly character of the original. This pedal is the result of years of obsession that has resulted in what I believe to be the most tonally accurate reproduction of the Green Russian Muff available.

Li’l Green isn’t just a downsized clone. It adds versatility where it counts:

Diode Selection Switch – Choose between the original clipping mode or LED clipping for a more open, raw response with a synth-like edge.

Attenuation Switch – Smooth out the fuzz into a warmer, more controlled overdrive/distortion for added flexibility.

Modern Features – Relay-based true bypass switching and top-mounted jacks for a clean, reliable, and pedalboard-friendly setup.
Whether you’re chasing searing walls of fuzz, grinding distortion, or warm wooly overdrive tones, Li’l Green packs a vintage-correct muff into a compact, modern package that’s built to perform.

Limited Availability: this pedal depends on very specific tolerances for it's critical components. Due to this increased scrutiny of parts and variable supply of these parts, the availability of this pedal depends entirely on whether or not I can get my hands on suitable components. These are built in small batches of 5 at a time with no specific regularity for future runs. Get them when you can.

You can read about the design journey for this pedal in my recent posts. I have also posted a schematic for the basic design along with instructions on how to build your own tonally accurate green muff with publicly available boards from Aion Electronics (not sponsored)
