“My old man showed me how to play barre chords, and that's when things started getting really heavy,” remembered Dimebag of his early years playing. But I think the turning point came when I discovered an Electro-Harmonix Big Muff Fuzz. Feedback! Distortion! Dude, that was all she wrote.”

> Same silky smooth violin-like sustain and creamy tone that made the legendary 1970 Big Muff Pi famous. This little brother displays its heritage proudly. Same circuitry in a compact die-cast box. No serial information. Lightly used. In box. Velcro on the bottom. Used on The New Regime recordings.

After extensive research into what made the 1970 Big Muff such a special and legendary pedal, Electro-Harmonix came up with a new addition to its Big Muff family: The Little Big Muff. Housed in a compact, die-cast box with smooth corners, The Little Big Muff presents the classic, true-to-heritage, 1970 tone that falls somewhere between the current U.S. Big Muff and the Russian Big Muff. Its long, silky smooth sustain proves that celebrated sound can indeed come in small packages. With a familiar control layout and a pedigree you can trust, this little brother kicks total butt.

Makes strange noises. Perfect!

Is there any need to talk about what this pedal does? It's a Fuzz, a very tough one, it makes your guitar sound like the strings are on high voltage. Great solo sound, you actually can use it for rhythm, too, but NEVER play more than two strings at a time.

Pair with a light overdrive

At first I wasn't so keen and thought it sounded perhaps a little scooped and weak, but when paired with the MXR Custom Badass Mod OD on a very low gain setting to boost the mid, the whole "scooped" feel went away. Now it sounds much more full and more powerful whilst retaining its classic muff tone.

Crushing fuzz

Definitely a must have if you're at all into fuzz. Literally creates an impenetrable wall of rib rattling noise.

Currently not part of my pedalboard. Haven't used it in a while, but has a really nice tone, it's a good thick-sounding fuzz pedal.

The Sound of the '70s

I didn't think I needed one of these and now I don't know how I could ever play without one. I started using it when covering Sabbath songs and now it gets used on all sorts of rock. This is such an affordable and tine tested fuzz. The Boutique ones may be amazing as well but this is what your hearing on all your favorite stoner metal albums anyway and its half the price

you want an op-amp based big muff for that Siamese Dream sound.... the original skreddy mayo gets close too and is a much better all arounder than the 80s op-amp muffs.... I am pretty sure stomp underfoot will clone you a mayo or make you a low noise opamp muff with true bypass if you email him. Many years ago he made me a mayo copy that I no longer own...

jimmarchi1 Moderator

also, single channel JCM800 with 6550s, plug into the unpopular low gain input.... when I had a 50 watter it got close even with EL34s.... you can also cop some kevin shields tones with that setup if you start throwing more effects in while riding your wang bar

No words needed!

A muff is something every guitarist should try at least a thousand times, different brands, settings, rigs, whatever! This one is simply the one I'm using now and I could not be more in love with it and what it does to my whole tone!

Wonderful fuzz pedal.

I've always been a huuuge fan of fuzz pedals. I'm also a fan of EHX's design and sound in general. So this was a great addition to my arsenal and pairing it with a nice blues overdrive makes this pedal an absolute beast.
