Electro-Harmonix Big Muff Pi 2 Dual Op-Amp Fuzz
The Electro-Harmonix Big Muff Pi 2 Dual Op-Amp Fuzz resurrects a long-lost Big Muff circuit design from the late 1970s, originally conceived by EHX founder Mike Matthews and legendary engineer Bob Myer. Unearthed decades later and carefully decoded, this unique dual op-amp fuzz delivers a rawer, more aggressive take on the classic Big Muff sound. With singing sustain, massive low end, and a crisp, edgy top, the Big Muff Pi 2 offers a distinct voice within the Muff family—available at Soundium.
Key Features
- Dual op-amp Big Muff circuit: A rare, rediscovered design offering a more dynamic and gritty fuzz character
- Classic Muff control layout: Familiar Volume, Tone, and Sustain knobs for intuitive shaping
- Singing sustain and heavy gain: Delivers thick walls of fuzz with strong harmonic content
- Distinct tonal character: Crisp highs, booming lows, and slightly less refined clipping for added edge
- Silent true bypass switching: Maintains signal integrity when the pedal is disengaged
- Latching & momentary footswitch: Use standard on/off operation or press-and-hold for bursts of fuzz
Customer Benefits
The Big Muff Pi 2 gives fuzz enthusiasts a fresh yet familiar sound that stands apart from traditional Muff variants.
