Electro-Harmonix Big Muff Guitar Distortion PedalTHE ONE THAT STARTED IT ALL

When I was about 15 years old a friend of mine’s older brother went off to college, and we we’re happy to raid his closet full of music equipment… so what did we find? A blackfront Fender Twin, and one of these famous beauties — the Electro-Harmonix Big Muff.

Oh yeah, the Big Muff was the distortion pedal of the ’70s, and it’s been popularized by some of the “Rock” world’s most beloved guitarists, including Hendrix & Santana, and was put to endlessly amusing use by Mark Arm of Mudhoney, who I was lucky enough to see perform numerous times during the ’90s

If you’ve never had the pleasure of using a Big Muff, you really don’t know what you’re missing — these things offer seemingly endless sustain, and a raw, soaring distortion that has made this pedal a true classic.

Features: Volume, Sustain, and Tone knobs allow you to dial in your own perfect tone, while the whole works is packed into a super-retro silver steel chassis. Runs on a single 9v battery, if my memory serves me right.
