Legendary Fuzz

It's a classic. Brilliant for that late 80s/early 90s fuzz tone. It's thick, vibey, genuinely great pedal. It's been on my board since I bought it and I can't imagine it not being on my board. It's a go-to.

Big Muff on steroids

It's everything the Big Muff is but better in every way. More grit, more clarity and more sustain!!!!!!!!

Best muff out there.

Total smashing pumpkins-esque goodness, but can also do the heavy sustain from weezer's blue and the lighter fuzz from bush's sixteen stone.

Being a huge Smashing Pumpkins fan, I love this pedal. When compared to the classic NYC reissue, this has more balls especially when you bypass the tone circuit. Build quality is solid as usually, though the sound is a one trick pony, you either love or hate Muffs. You have to play it into the clean channel, no amp gain or drive at all, unless you want the notes to choke.

Op amp is the greatest big muff I've ever known...

Don't wait till tomorrow (to buy this pedal) Tomorrow's to far away (to wait to hear this wall of fuzz) I'll burn my ears out before I hear (another trash fuzz) I wanted more (fuzz) Than life (distortion pedals) could ever grant me Bored by the chore of saving face OP AMP Big Muff is the greatest BIG MUFF I've ever known.

If you grew up listening to 90s rock, you need this pedal!

I've tried quite a few pedals in my day, and still have a respectable amount on my current pedalboard. That said, this is by far my favorite way to crank up my tone. While the original was around in the 70s, this recreation was popularised by Billy Corgan of the Smashing Pumpkins and really is the sound of post-Nirvana grunge. But it doesn't end there... You can tweak this baby to play everything from Hendrix, to Neil Young, to Green Day. Really is a great pedal.

The Smashing Pumpkins sound in a box

I watched one demo of this with Billy Corgan playing it, bought it based on that video, and I haven't wanted a single other fuzz pedal since I first switched it on

I would be lost without it

The big muff is a must have for any pedal board, it was the first pedal I ever purchased and I still keep it on almost all the time. It’s a sound that is unmatched in my opinion, and I could not recommend it more.

First pedal in my life.

Of course, at the time of purchase, I was influenced by Billy Corgan. Its not only great for Siamese Dream / Smashing Pumpkins tone, but its also good for grunge, shoegaze, garage rock stuff (Dinosaur Jr. , White Stripes, MBV and others ) One of the greatest modern fuzz pedals. LOVE IT!

Great Big Muff

For about 9 years i've had a Little Big Muff which I've loved. When i started seeing videos that EH was reissuing the op-amp Big Muff, famously used by Billy Corgan and James Iha on Smashing Pumpkins Siamese Dream album, i was intrigued. I listened to some clips, and loved the sound of it. I made it known that it was something i would like and my wife got it for me. Actually playing it i have to say, it blows my Little Big Muff out of the water. It's a tremendous sounding Big Muff pedal. To my ears the Op-Amp sounds a bit brighter, and has a bit more clarity while still giving that Big Muff wall of sound. Not necessarily ideal for drone metal, but otherwise, it's a tremendous pedal.
