ELECTRO HARMONIX GERMANIUM BIG MUFF GUITAR PEDAL / STOMP BOX
Introducing the Germanium Big Muff Distortion Sustain pedal from Electro Harmonix.

The new Germanium 4 Big Muff Pi is reviewed in the February 2011 issue of Vintage Guitar magazine. Their conclusion? “The Germanium 4 Big Muff Pi is the most versatile version in the pedal’s lineage, and does its predecessors proud.”

Back in 1968, guitar amps were intentionally engineered to keep players from experimenting with distorted sounds. Electro Harmonix changed all that.

For 40 years Electro Harmonix have been proud to contribute to many of the most famous recordings in music history. Our circuits won't ever constrain the color of your sound; rather, they give you the freedom to find it.

Personal Recommendation:
I first came across Electro Harmonix in the very early 80's when I bought a Small Stone Phase Shifter after discussing the 'whoosh' effects on Itchycoo Park with its producer. Hey - it saved me buying seven Revox's. I've used Electro Harmonix Ever since, and the only thing I'm really well-known for is all those 'Special Effects'

GERMANIUM BIG MUFF

Combining four classic germanium transistors, the Germanium Big Muff Pi is the result of a focused modern design dripping with EH analog heritage.

An independent overdrive and distortion each have their own sets of two germanium transistors as well as independent controls.

The ability to stack and use both the overdrive and distortion together delivers the power of a four germanium transistor circuit with ultimate control flexibility.
