Electro-Harmonix Classics USA Big Muff Pi Distortion/Sustainer Guitar Effects Pedal

The Electro-Harmonix Classics USA Big Muff Pi Distortion/Sustainer Guitar Effects Pedal is the stompbox that sett he standard for fuzz tone. For over 40 years, the Big Muff Pi has been revered by guitar legends and contemporaries alike for its rich, creamy distortion and violin-like sustain.

Dial in Your Perfect Distortion

Like the original '70s Big Muff Pi, the reissue features three controls—Volume, Tone and Sustain—that provide a spectrum of distortion styles. Crank the Volume for a boost to cut through the mix, increase the Sustain for endless sustain and harmonics and sweep the Tone from a warm, bassy purr to a sharp, trebly bite. With just a few tweaks of the controls, you can achieve the signature Big Muff Pi sound or forge your own.
