Building on the legendary Big Muff Pi distortion, this innovative pedal provides guitarists an array of distortion flavors at the flick of a switch. The Big Muff Pi's signature thick, creamy distortion forms the foundation. Engage the Wicker switch to open up three high-frequency filters, unleashing a raspy, defined sustain with searing top-end. Flip on the Tone switch to bypass the tone control for a full-frequency assault. With both switches off, you get the classic Big Muff Pi tone that shaped rock music. For over 40 years, Electro-Harmonix has been turning guitarists' dreams of unique distortion into reality. The Big Muff Pi with Tone Wicker continues that legacy.

Wicker Switch Unlocks Raspy, Defined Distortion

The Wicker switch is the gateway to the Big Muff Pi with Tone Wicker's most aggressive tones. Flipping the Wicker switch opens three high-frequency filters, resulting in a distortion with enhanced treble content and articulation. Notes sustain intensely with a scratchy, biting edge. For lead lines that cut through the mix, the Wicker switch is essential. The tone is hot enough to melt faces yet remains dynamic and touch-sensitive for expressive playing.

Bypass the Tone Control for Full-Spectrum Slam

Want pure, unadulterated distortion? Flip on the Tone switch to bypass the tone control. The result is a wall of distortion spanning the entire frequency range. Lows remain full and powerful, mids stay present without scooping, and highs sizzle with harmonic content. For heavy riffing and power chord progressions, the Tone switch delivers. Despite its high gain and broadband tone, the distortion remains responsive to pick attack and guitar volume adjustments.
