Yes I have one.
Atomic Music gets them in from time to time (Sonny used to work there).

Ir will do the Big Muff and then some.
Doesn't loose the low end with bass either.
It's the best muff variation I've played.

I haven't tried the Pickle Pie or Swollen Pickle so can't compare those.

I have one. It's just a really good sounding Big Muff. Nothing more, nothing less.

It doesn't sound or act anything like a Pickle Pie/Swollen Pickle. (Not nearly as scooped, tone filter is totally different, etc.)

The last EH muff I had was the Little Big Muff...it sounded like poop on bass...got totally farty in a bad way.

The Bluebeard sounds great on bass or guitar. It makes a bass sound kinda guitary...but retains low end....and doesn't choke up or fart out.

It's not worth dying over, but it's worth owning....and I haven't considered selling or trading it.
The rumour is that it's merely a General Guitar Gadgets tuned Big Muff clone. Good pedal regardless.

GGG tuned version seems to be slightly less "nasal" although it may be just psychological hearing of mine
but something that can't be denied is that for less money you still get a muff that would be one of your main effects if you play on the heavy side
