Description

The Electro-Harmonix Big Muff Pi 2 brings a previously unreleased 1970s Big Muff design to life, using a distinctive dual-op-amp analogue circuit for gritty mids, heavy crunch and long sustain.

With classic Volume, Tone and Sustain controls plus latching or momentary footswitch operation, it delivers a rawer, more mid-forward alternative to traditional Big Muff fuzz.

Dual Op-Amp Big Muff Tone

The Big Muff Pi 2 uses two dual operational amplifiers rather than the more familiar transistor-based Big Muff circuit.

The result is a distinctive combination of gritty midrange, strong attack, heavy crunch and singing sustain.

Lower Sustain settings provide aggressive distortion and definition, while higher settings produce dense, saturated fuzz.

The soft-touch footswitch also supports momentary operation, making it easy to add short bursts of fuzz during a performance.
