I saw that most players use Russian Muffs for bass, any reason for it?

I had a Boss ODB-3 bass overdrive.. that was one sick sick sick pedal. If you've got a big rig, the ODB-3 will turn it into a monster.

For lighter applications, I dunno, it may not be your thing.

the last band i was in, i used a 1980s DOD bass grunge. that was the most ridiculously amazing bass distortion i've ever used. i should have tried to steal it when i left. anyway, i haven't been the bass player in a band for a few months, but in my room i use a marshall shredmaster with all the controls to the max except the contour and volume at 3 o'clock. i tried using my vintage USA big muff with it but it just didn't sound as nice.

and the Ibanez PD7. how is it?

The PD7? It's good, it's versatile. If you're looking for a really fuzzy harsh distortion, try somewhere else, it doesn't really do that too well. It's good for everything else though.
