A modern evolution of the classic Big Muff, the Deluxe version adds more tone-shaping options and a blend control for contemporary players.
Long revered for its sweet singing tone and violin-like sustain, the classic three-knob Big Muff Pi has helped define the sound of rock guitar for over 50 years. Now, we’ve added some extras for those who crave more sound shaping control. The EHX Deluxe Big Muff Pi delivers all the classic sounds of the original NYC Big Muff Pi, plus more. Added footswitchable Mids sections boosts or cuts an adjustable mids frequency for added definition or massive scooped tones. Add an optional expression pedal and turn the Deluxe Big Muff into an extreme fuzzed out wah! The Attack control preserves pick attack with an enhanced version of your dry signal while the Bass Boost adds rumble at higher tone settings. The Gate removes unwanted hiss for a more dynamic performance. This is the most versatile Big Muff ever! Download pedal settings from Bill Ruppert’s demo video here.
Guitarists found the pedal to be great fun and capable of a wide range of fuzz tones, from subtle to extreme. They also appreciated the excellent service. However, one user suggested it could be improved with the ability to reduce the fuzz effect further.
