Electro-Harmonix Op Amp Big Muff Pi

Fuzz / Distortion / Sustainer
Faithful recreation of the original Op-Amp Big Muff Pi from the late 70's!With original Op-Amp Big Muffs from the late 70's selling at exorbitant prices, Mike Matthews decided to give the power to the people and reissue the classic pedal at a price players can afford! The circuitry of the new EHX Op-Amp Big Muff Pi sometimes referred to as the IC or V4 Big Muff has been faithfully recreated, while several practical improvements have been added, including a compact die-cast chassis and true bypass circuitry. "The Op-Amp Big Muff was popularised by the brilliant Billy Corgan, who first used it on the Smashing Pumpkins' epic 1993 album Siamese Dream. After being filmed playing and talking about the reissue, Billy said, 'The magic is still in the box, I can still get what I'm looking for!'" - Mike MatthewsThe pedal relies on op amps instead of transistors and three gain stages instead of four to create its signature sound. It's a sound described by noted Big Muff collector and historian Kit Rae as "a huge, crunching Big Muff sound with more crunch great for grungy wall of sound distortion, heavy rhythm playing and heavy leads."
