The circuitry of the new EHX Op-Amp Big Muff Pi —sometimes also referred to as the IC or V4 Big Muff— has been faithfully re-created while several practical enhancements have been added including a compact, die-cast chassis and true bypass switching.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“The Op-Amp Big Muff was popularized by the brilliant Billy Corgan who first used it on the Smashing Pumpkins’ epic 1993 album Siamese Dream. After he was videotaped playing and talking about the reissue, Billy stated: ‘The magic’s still in the box, I can still get what I’m looking for!’” – Mike Matthews\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pedal relies on op-amps rather than transistors and three gain stages rather than four, to create its signature sound. It’s a sound that’s been described by noted Big Muff collector and historian, Kit Rae, as: “a huge, crushing Big Muff sound with more crunch… great for grungy, wall-of-sound distortion, heavy rhythm playing and heavy leads.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"wpb_raw_code wpb_raw_html wpb_content_element ehxattributes\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"wpb_wrapper\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"nectar-fancy-ul\" data-list-icon=\"icon-salient-thin-line\" data-animation=\"false\" data-animation-delay=\"0\" data-color=\"extra-color-1\" data-spacing=\"default\" data-alignment=\"left\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ci class=\"icon-default-style icon-salient-thin-line extra-color-1\"\u003e\u003c\/i\u003eA faithful reissue of the original classic circa 1978\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ci class=\"icon-default-style icon-salient-thin-line extra-color-1\"\u003e\u003c\/i\u003eIconic sound and vibe that’s coveted by guitarists\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ci class=\"icon-default-style icon-salient-thin-line extra-color-1\"\u003e\u003c\/i\u003eControls for Tone, Sustain and Volume, plus a Tone Bypass switch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ci class=\"icon-default-style icon-salient-thin-line extra-color-1\"\u003e\u003c\/i\u003eTrue bypass switching for maximum signal integrity in bypass mode\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ci class=\"icon-default-style icon-salient-thin-line extra-color-1\"\u003e\u003c\/i\u003eRugged, compact, die-cast package… pedalboard friendly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Electro-Harmonix","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56797659038021,"sku":null,"price":70.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0529\/5082\/7161\/files\/20260106_185857.jpg?v=1767720713","url":"https:\/\/www.tonefestguitargallery.com\/products\/electro-harmonix-op-amp-big-muff-pi","provider":"Tonefest Guitar Gallery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
