Big Muff Pi 2 Dual Op-Amp Fuzz

Electro-Harmonix Founder and President, Mike Matthews, and serial inventor Bob Myer share a long history. Together, they designed the very first Big Muff and collaborated throughout EHX’s storied journey. Always innovating, Bob frequently presented Mike with updated designs to keep pace with evolving technology. Some designs were selected, while others were set aside and forgotten. The Big Muff Pi 2 Dual Op-Amp design is one such creation that didn’t make the cut in the late 70s and was tucked away in Bob’s files.

Years later, while interviewing Bob in his workshop, EHX disciples Josh Scott (of JHS Pedals) and Daniel Danger rediscovered this novel circuit design as a hand-drawn schematic among Bob’s old notes. Josh meticulously decoded the original schematic, resurrecting it as the Big Muff Pi 2.

A Unique Fuzz Experience

The Big Muff Pi 2 retains the essence of the classic Big Muff Pi but introduces a distinctive fuzz tone to expand your tonal palate. Key features include:

• Singing sustain and gobs of gain, staying true to the Big Muff Pi legacy while offering its own unique edge.
• A crispy top end, booming lows, and slightly less refined clipping for a cool, unique feel.
• A slightly more dynamic and fuzzy character, making it a must-try for any Big Muff Pi enthusiast!

Intuitive Controls

The pedal features the familiar Volume, Tone, and Sustain controls:

• SUSTAIN: Adjusts sustain and distortion, ranging from medium grit to full fuzz fury.
• TONE: Shapes your sound from brash rasp to deep thunder, increasing treble and reducing bass as it’s turned up.
• VOL: Controls the overall output of the pedal.

Housed in a nano-sized die-cast chassis, the Big Muff Pi 2 also boasts artwork designed by EHX aficionado Daniel Danger.

Silent True Bypass with Latching/Momentary Action

For the first time in a Big Muff, the Big Muff Pi 2 introduces silent true bypass footswitching with Latching/Momentary Action.

• Latching Mode: Click the footswitch for normal on/off functionality.
• Momentary Mode: Press and hold the footswitch for a burst of fuzz mayhem!

The Big Muff Pi 2 combines vintage inspiration with modern innovation, delivering a fuzz experience that’s both nostalgic and cutting-edge.
