Despite the number of changes and advancements made in the production of Fuzz pedals over the years, discerning tonehounds find themselves being constantly drawn back to some of those vintage fuzzboxes of yesteryear. Unfortunately, the rarity of these pedals in today's market means that the price is inflated to the point of near-unaffordability, and owning one can be little more than a far-off dream for most musicians.

Recreate Those Classic 70's Muff Pi Tones!

Thanks to Electro Harmonix though, you need want no more: introducing the fabulous Electro Harmonix Op-Amp Big Muff Pi - a modern reissue of the classic late 1970's circuit of the same name - and it's available at a price that most guitarists can afford!

Faithful to the Original

For this reissue, Electro Harmonix have gone all-out in delivering the same kind of tones that the original Op-Amp Big Muff Pi was famed for. Relying on op-amps rather than transistors, and three gain stages rather than four, the new EHX Op-Amp Big Muff Pi can produce a huge, crushing Big Muff sound with more crunch, that's great for heavy rhythm playing and heavy leads.

Pumpkin Pi

One of the most famous proponents of both the original circuit and this reissue is none other than Billy Corgan (of The Smashing Pumpkins fame). Fans of Billy's will recognise the crushing tones of the Op-Amp Big Muff Pi as those used on 1993's groundbreaking Siamese Dream, Smashing Pumpkins' second album and arguably the one that helped cement them as rock legends.

New and Improved

Whilst the sounds produced by the Op-Amp Big Muff Pi are as faithful to the original as you can get - in fact Billy Corgan himself said in an interview 'The magic's still in the box, I can still get what I'm looking for!' - Electro Harmonix have added one or two practical improvements.

These enhancements include: an all-new, compact, die-cast chassis, allowing the pedal to fit snuggly onto most pedalboards, whilst being robust enough to survive life on the road; true-bypass switching, ensuring that your guitar's tone is preserved whether the pedal is in use or not; and an all-new look, with striking orange finish, allowing the pedal to stand out against the other Big Muff Pi pedals available.
