Electro Harmonix Op-Amp Big Muff Pi is a reissue of the classic pedal vorm 1978 at a price that players can afford! The circuitry of the new Op-Amp Big Muff —sometimes also referred to as the IC or V4 Big Muff— has been faithfully re-created while several practical enhancements have been added including a compact, die-cast chassis and true bypass switching.
The Op-Amp Big Muff was popularized by the brilliant Billy Corgan who first used it on the Smashing Pumpkins’ epic 1993 album Siamese Dream. After he was videotaped playing and talking about the reissue, Billy stated: ‘The magic’s still in the box, I can still get what I’m looking for!’
The pedal relies on op-amps rather than transistors and three gain stages rather than four, to create its signature sound. It’s a sound that’s been described by noted Big Muff collector and historian, Kit Rae, as: “a huge, crushing Big Muff sound with more crunch… great for grungy, wall-of-sound distortion, heavy rhythm playing and heavy leads.”
Controls for Volume, Tone, and Sustain (gain) make it quick to dial in the textures your playing demands. Meanwhile, a tone bypass toggle temporarily bypasses the pedal’s tone circuit for maximum output and aggression. A killer pedal!

Net even anders dan de “gewone” muff.
Iets scherper qua sound, meer hoge mids, maar een breed toonbereik.
Niet zo bass-heavy als de Green Russian, maar lekker duidelijk in de mix.
Klinkt meer distortion-achtig dan de gewone Muff, ergens tussen een Rat 2 en een Muff in, zoiets.
Zelfs op bas klinkt ie lekker, zonder teveel lage frequenties af te zagen.
Aanrader.
