One of those forgotten gems? A wild dual op-amp Big Muff design from the late ’70s. It never saw the light of day. Until now. While digging through Bob’s old workshop, fuzz fanatics Josh Scott (JHS Pedals) and Daniel Danger stumbled across the original hand-drawn schematic. Josh decoded it, brought it back to life and boom — the Electro Harmonix Big Muff Pi 2 was born!
The Big Muff Pi 2 takes everything you love about the classic Big Muff and adds its own twist. It’s got that legendary sustain and mountains of gain, but with a fuzz character that’s a little more raw and dynamic. Expect crispy highs, thunderous lows and clipping that feels gloriously unpolished. It’s unmistakably Big Muff, but with extra attitude.
You’ll feel right at home with the classic Volume, Tone and Sustain controls. Sustain dials in everything from gritty, grainy fuzz to full-on chaos. Tone sweeps from raspy bite to deep rumble, while Volume sets your level. All packed into a rugged, nano-sized chassis featuring cool artwork by Daniel Danger.
The Big Muff Pi 2 introduces silent true bypass footswitching with latching/momentary action. Click the footswitch for normal latching functionality or press and hold for a quick blast of fuzz fury. It’s a Big Muff first — and it’s seriously fun.
Mike Matthews and Bob Myer — two names that shaped the fuzz world as we know it. Back in the day, these guys cooked up the original Big Muff and their partnership kept EHX at the cutting edge for decades. Bob was always tinkering, always pushing boundaries, handing Mike fresh designs to keep up with the times. Some ideas made history… others got tucked away and forgotten.
