In this ‘Vintage Guitar’ article, originally from December 1998, Wayne Kramer says “I used a Big Muff distortion pedal and used that during the “Kick Out the Jams” era, since the wah-wah pedal hadn’t been perfected yet.”
‘Kick Out the Jams’ was recorded October 30 and October 31, 1968. It was released in February of 1969. “Kick Out the Jams” the single was released in March, 1969. The only Electro-Harmonix Big Muff available (in 1969) was the “Triangle” Muff. No “Ram’s Head” Muff existed until 1973. Therefore it is chronologically impossible that Wayne Kramer played a “Ram’s Head” during the “Kick Out the Jams” era. Moreover, the MC5 broke up in 1972 and since the “Ram’s Head” Big Muff didn’t exist until 1973, the “Triangle” Muff is the only Big Muff Wayne Kramer could possibly have been referring to having played during the entirety of MC5.
