Electro Harmonix Big Muff Pi Distortion Sustai ner Pedal

One of he sweetest pedals Ive ever used. Amazing sound. For a low price. This pedal gives you that big fat fuzz sound for deep blues. Great for songs from the black keys. I mainly used it for the black keys. For songs like: Just got to be, Your touch, Just a little heat. If you are looking for that old fuzz and distortion sound then this is the pedal you need!

"Back in 1969 I (Electro-Harmonix) was already selling the Muff Fuzz, which was a mild overdrive circuit in an LPB-1 box. I wanted to come out with a three knob distortion unit in a bigger box. I asked my buddy, Bell Labs designer, Bob Myer, to design a unit, one that would have a lot of sustain. When I got the prototype from Bob, I loved the long sustain. This was done by cascading the circuit into additional sections, each one clipped by twin diodes. However, when you clip, the tone can be a bit raspy. So, I spent a couple of days changing capacitors to roll off distortion in the highs, and eventually found that the best long sustaining tone that was a sweet violin like sound was done by having three capacitors in different parts of the circuit rolling off the rasp. We plunged into production and I brought the very first units up to Henry, the boss at Mannys Music Store on 48th Street, NYC. About a week later, I stopped by Mannys to buy some cables, and Henry yelled out to me, Hey Mike, I sold one of those new Big Muffs to Jimi Hendrix. "

Great quality for a great price! Well built and has an awesome sound. Great for a 60s screaming rock sound, or a very heavy Black Sabbath type sound.

Great product, very good tone an quite versatile. This is my first proper pedal and I love it!

Great for grunge, solid piece of kit!
