The Big Muff Pi 2 is a fuzz pedal that revives the dual op-amp circuit, featuring a rougher distortion and richer sustain than the original Big Muff. It also supports momentary switching, allowing for highly expressive fuzz playing.
■The Lost Op-Amp Circuit, Miraculously Revived
Mike Matthews, the founder of Electro-Harmonix, and Bob Myer, who devised numerous masterpieces. In the 1970s, Bob always presented designs that were in line with the latest technology, but there was a circuit that was shelved during the development process at the time and remained dormant in the files. That was the "dual op-amp" design that is installed in the Big Muff Pi 2.
Decades later, Josh Scott (JHS Pedals), an EHX enthusiast, and artist Daniel Danger discovered this handwritten circuit diagram in Bob's old workshop. Thanks to Josh's analysis of the circuitry, the historical distortion has finally been revived for the modern era.
■A New, Edgier Muff Sound
While firmly inheriting the tradition of the familiar classic Big Muff Pi, its tone is more distinctive.
It boasts singing sustain and heavy gain, along with sharp, clear highs and a growling, deep low end. The slightly rough, dynamic, and incredibly fuzzy clipping will bring a new thrill to all Muff enthusiasts.
■Big Muff's First Momentary Function
The beautiful nano-sized die-cast enclosure, designed by Daniel Danger, an EHX collector, features an innovative footswitch—a first for the series.
The silent true bypass switch functions as a "latch function" to toggle ON/OFF with a normal click, but also as a "momentary function" that temporarily unleashes the fuzz only while the switch is held down. This allows you to instantly add explosive effects to your playing.
■Features
- Legendary 1970s Dual Op-Amp Circuit
Josh Scott of JHS Pedals faithfully reproduced the design blueprints by Bob Myer, which had almost disappeared into the mists of history, after analyzing them.
- Edgier Muff Character
While boasting the traditional sustain, it features a unique tone with crisp highs, dynamic lows, and wild clipping.
- Enclosure Artwork by Daniel Danger
An original design with a unique worldview, created by Daniel Danger, a renowned artist and EHX fan.
- Latch/Momentary Footswitch
The first Big Muff series pedal to support momentary operation, allowing you to obtain fuzz burst only while the footswitch is pressed.
