Distortion made famous by Jimi Hendrix, Santana, and More!

The electro-harmonix Big Muff Pi is the pedal that started it all. The Big Muff Pi is the distortion pedal countless musicians such as Hendrix and Santana relied on for its rich, creamy, violin-like sustain. A timeless piece, the electro-harmonix Big Muff Pi has been defining the sound of rock guitar for the past 30 years.

Like the legendary Big Muff Pi of the 70's, the electro-harmonix Big Muff Pi reissue has three controls that let the player dial in the finest harmonic distortion/sustain ever produced. The Big Muff Pi's Volume control adjusts the output level. The Sustain control optimizes the long sustain with just the right amount of harmonic distortion, and the Big Muff Pi's Tone control provides a range of sounds, from warm bass to crisp treble. From Pink Floyd to the Chemical Brothers to Korn, everyone wants a piece of the 'Pi!


electro-harmonix Big Muff Pi Features:
  • USA Big Muff Pi "made in NYC original"
  • Volume Control
  • Sustain Control
  • Tone Control


electro-harmonix
From the legendary riffs of Jimi Hendrix and George Clinton to the new-school licks of Slipknot and Korn, musicians have relied on electro-harmonix since the late '60s. Whether you crave the sustaining overdrive of the Big Muff Pi or the warm spring reverb of the hot new Holy Grail, electro-harmonix has a stompbox with your name on it.

Great fuzz pedal!

This really is a great sounding pedal. You can get lots of different sounds out of it, including a ton of sustain. I couldn't believe how long my Les Paul's notes would ring out.

I've tried every pedal that I could get my hands on and this one is DEAD ON what I've been looking for. The combination of the distortion and the sustain is superb. I love it.

Great pedal

It's a great sounding, adjustable pedal, a must-have for any pop/rock guitarist's arsenal. It couldn't be simpler to use. And it's priced right.

Fat Tone, Killer edge

The very first instance I heared the Big Muff, I thought to my self what have i bought? As i played around with it, I answered my question with this, a very historical, insightful pedal. The big muff ... read more [+]has been used by David Gilmour all the way to
John Frusciante.
It can give off a very fat sounding lightly distorted tone, or you can very the pot's and make it give off a very harsh distorted sound. The versitility off the pedal is very wide. I would recommend the Big Muff very highly.
Electro Harmonix in its self is a highly repectable commpany as well. close [-]

This distortion pedal has worked well for me for a while now. It has great sustain and awesome distortion. I would reccomend this pedal for anyone who enjoys classic rock.

Only one downside, there is no port for an AC adapter. close [-]
