Electro-Harmonix Big Muff Pi

Simply awesome. I like the big box format because I'm modding mine. At this time, I added the Tone Stack bypass switch, two DPDT switches to take off the diodes of the two saturation stages and a 3PDT to add a LPB-1 before the big muff to increase the gain at this first stage.

Really love all the ehx & russian big muffs I wanted to review the usa pi version because I think it has a great sound if you do a tone bypass mod ,I did and found I got instant queens of the stone age type sounds, as well as a coll white stripes stuttering solo tone due to the extra 7db the tone pot sucks usually when in stock mode

Really cant recommen buying one and doing the mod enough if your after the tones I mentioned. I will be going to make a green russian clone next for all the black keys tones, really love all carnations of the big muff!

this thing is freaking awesome!!! its hands down the most versatile fuzz pedal ive ever used and if your looking for a good black keys-jack white sound then this is what your looking for........................... however it sounds like crap on most solid state amps so i highly recommend getting a good tube amp, thats what this pedal was designed to work on

If you like fuzz, this is the one. Difficult to control cause it always wants to scream louder... makes it very specific and not to use in every song.

This is the best distortion pedal i have gotten. It sounds great when playing grungy or very hard rock gigs. I would recommend it to anyone.

This was the first guitar pedal I ever owned. A Greek friend of mine was clearing out a space and came across a vintage 1970's Big Muff Pi and so I happily bought it from him for £30. This pedal started everything for me, it changed the way my guitar sounded and compelled me to really carry on playing rock and roll music. This pedal is super easy to use and needs no instructions to operate. This pedal gives me the deepest, thickest, singing tone I have ever heard on record or live, anywhere. I am keeping this stomp-box for life and I am sure that it will prove to be a rock upon my board and the go to pedal to really pump up the jam!

Problems being its charging port, its not the standard Boss 9v Its casing is easily scratched and its awkward square corners are annoying even though I appreciate the classic styling, but I cant deny its awesome versatile controls and tone. Seriously so many artists have used this pedal it speaks for itself.

Whether you want a super fuzzy high tone, or a slight sustain with a low bellow, this pedal gives you anything you would want with a little more. I love this pedal because of the many sounds it can produce, and it will always have a place in my rig.

This piece of absolute beauty is finally mine! It's even more awesome then I expected. It's really great-sounding. You get what you pay for (and You don't really pay a lot). It cuts through the rest of the band or loop like a hot knife through butter.

It's a great pedal that has some kind of "fuzztortion" sound to it, it's not a classsic tone bender fuzz neithe a fuzz face type of sound, though is very vesatile, anyway it's huge, it has tons of gain and distortion ik you like, or it can be almost like a smooth overdrive sound, it has a built-in buffer so it works pretty well with wah's too!
