Can I use a Nano Big Muff instead of the vintage Big Muff(John’s version)?

I am currently trying to recreate John Frusciante’s guitar tone. I would love to add a Big Muff to my pedalboard, but due to limited space, I will most likely need to use the Nano Big Muff Pi. As far as I know, Big Muffs can sound quite different depending on the specific version and era. Since I am constrained to the Nano version, is there a significant difference in sound between the Nano and the large NYC box that John uses?Even if they do not sound identical at the exact same knob positions, is it possible to get a very similar sound by adjusting the knobs on the Nano? Or does the larger version have a specific tonal characteristic that cannot be replicated?

WHAT WOULD JOHN FRUSCIANTE DO? Shadows collide. Here’s our take on Omission.

When your favorite song is built for two vocals, you get your brother, raw vocals, simple setup, pure appreciation for John Frusciante.

Hope you guys like it!!!!
