Description
Introducing the Electro-Harmonix Big Muff Pi with Tone Wicker, an innovative evolution of the classic Big Muff Pi distortion pedal. This gear is designed to unleash a spectrum of distortion flavors that will redefine your sound and push your creativity to new boundaries.
The Big Muff Pi with Tone Wicker delivers the quintessential thick and creamy distortion that forms the core of its legendary predecessor. However, it doesn't stop there. It offers two unique switches, Wicker and Tone, that add a whole new range of sonic capabilities.
Engage the Wicker switch to open up three high-frequency filters, resulting in a raspy, defined sustain with a searing top-end. It provides an aggressive tone, perfect for lead lines that need to cut through the mix. It's dynamic, touch-sensitive, and retains its expressiveness despite the high gain.
On the other hand, the Tone switch bypasses the tone control for a full-frequency assault, delivering a wall of distortion spanning the entire frequency range. Ideal for heavy riffing and power chord progressions, this switch ensures the lows remain full and powerful, mids stay present, and highs sizzle with harmonic content.
With both switches off, you get the classic Big Muff Pi tone, thick and sustaining, that has shaped the sound of rock music for over 40 years.
Key Features:
- Delivers the iconic Big Muff Pi distortion with added versatility
- Wicker switch opens up three high-frequency filters for a raspy, defined sustain
- Tone switch bypasses the tone control for a full-frequency assault
- True bypass to maintain the integrity of your signal chain
- Powered by 9V battery or 9V DC power supply (not included)

Old School Fuzz, Full Moon Howl.
This is basically the Big Muff Pi with anger issues. It has all of the same tonal options but the differences all come down to that little 'Tone Wicker' switch. Once it is engaged this thing absolutely howls. This is my go to when I need the dirtiest of dirty sounds.
I.FUCKING.LOVE.FUZZ!
The fest fuzz next to the OP amp. the wicker controls makes this thing come alive on and single coil, for a nice saturated and gritty fuzz

Surprizing pedal Fat and biting Sound
Never desapointed by Electronics Harmonics pedals , the only thing is that when you want to register your product the website doesn't want to work properly
Jack White Wicker
I used her at concerts in the fall of 2015. wicker for me was not necessary. it is possible just to involve before her an overdrive. and shutdown of tone rather useful thing

Favorite of my muffs
Same great big muff circuit with the added tone off making it a standard distortian, and wicker to push a mild soul food electric spike.

Great classic big sound
I love the massive flood of fuzz from this...although I've had to have the footswitch replaced (a common weakness on these EHX pedals apparently).

From Tone King video, explaining his effects setup, with Jeordie and his guitar tech, as a guitarist instead of bassist for Marilyn Manson. The color of the Pi graphic and the "Big Muff" lettering on the pedal reveal this to be a Tone Wicker variant of the Big Muff.
According to Tone Freak's pedalboard photo, Keuning uses the EHX Big Muff Pi with Tone Wicker.
I took this picture at a Highly Suspect concert in August of 2015. You can see in the bottom row of the pedal board, between the BD-2 and H9 that there is the iconic Big Muff Pi with Tone Wicker Switch. Johnny uses this to get some out of control tones, as seen on the Pre-Grammy's concert of 2016.
Used on the Hollow Meadows 2015 tour, as photographed in Guitarist magazine, February 2016.
