Big Fuzz Tones for Bass!

The electro-harmonix Bass Big Muff Pi draws on two classic Muffs that bassists have long used to create cutting fuzz tones. The Bass Big Muff Pi creates tones similar to the classic fuzz sounds of the battle-tank green Sovtek Big Muff Pi and the legendary electro-harmonix Big Muff Pi from the '70s - but optimized for beefy bottom-end that punches through anything. A direct out lets you feed unaffected signal to a second amp or effects chain and a Bass Boost/Dry toggle adds bottom to the Bass Big Muff Pi's sound.



electro-harmonix Bass Big Muff Pi Features at a Glance:
  • Tone, Volume, and Sustain knobs
  • Dual output - Normal, affected signal or dry, direct signal for feeding second amp or effects chain
  • Bass Boost/Dry toggle to increase low-frequency content
  • Thick fuzz tones optimized for bass

Entirely too much fun

by Dave from Jackson, MS
 February 1, 2011
 Music Background: Gigging bassist
Simply a great pedal. I always keep the mini switch in dry mode. It's great in low blend and sustain settings, for adding overtones, or just fraying your tone a little. And of course it can complet... read more [+]ely fuzz out if that's what you want. It reacts beautifully with my all-tube amp, and if i switch to the drive channel on my head, it makes a throaty crunch that tapers off into the finer distortion of the muff. The sustain knob is also pretty foot-friendly for rolling your gain in a solo. I never use the normal or bass boost modes for bass, but I have run a guitar through it in normal mode and it sounded really good for anything that calls for an ultra-distorted tone. I have read comments by guitarist that say the normal mode does not sound exactly like the classic big muff, but I wouldn't know. Very good buy, sturdy build, good tone, and pedals don't get much cheaper than this. close [-]

Best

by Scott from Saskatchewan, Canada

I honestly can't believe how much I enjoy this pedal.
The sound is incredible, and my favorite part is that my bottom end stays, I can make it push really hard and keep my low end? LOVE IT!... read more [+] /> I personally like the switch in the dry position, so my regular tone comes through but I get that fuzz layer on top of it too.
I have found that if I fuzz out my tone too hard and I don't have that regular bass tone in there too, I get lost in the guitars and their tones.
But with this pedal sound layered in, it just adds the drive I want without compromising my clarity.
I've tried a couple other bass dist. boxes and they all sounded 'meh, whatever' but the moment I started messing with this one, I knew that was what I wanted. I guess this isn't really letting you know what the tone sounds like, but it's so easy to get what you want with it that you need to get one and find out for yourself. close [-]

Great Pedal

by Colson from Moraga, CA, USA
 December 30, 2011
 Music Background: I play mostly for fun
I use this for my guitar and it sounds great. This has a more fuzzy, warm, low-end sound. Even though the Big Muff Pi USA for guitar is a fuzz pedal, this is a lot more fuzzy. This has less distortion... read more [+] and sustain, though. If you are a guitarist, don't use this as your main distortion. I would highly recommend this. close [-]
