Clocking in at a fraction of the size of the big-box Big Muff Pi, the Electro-Harmonix Little Big Muff Pi delivers a pedalboard-friendly take on EHX’s most iconic fuzzbox. From the simple 3-knob design to the massive and mid-scooped wall of fuzz, the Little Big Muff Pi is identical to the standard Big Muff Pi in all things but size, sporting a heavy-duty die-cast chassis. Moreover, the Little Big Muff Pi boasts true bypass operation to keep your signal clear and clean when the pedal is disengaged. Capture the legendary violin-like sustain of a true fuzz pedal classic with the Electro-Harmonix Little Big Muff Pi from Sweetwater!





A legacy of flexible fuzz tones





While many of the earliest fuzz pedals featured a raspy, midrange-forward tonality, the Big Muff’s smooth and scooped sound simply couldn’t be any more different. Cranking up the Little Big Muff Pi’s gain (aptly titled “Sustain”) results in a supple violin-like sustain ideal for vocal, Gilmour-esque lead playing. Kicking out power chords and rhythm playing supplies an enveloping wall of fuzz thanks to the Little Big Muff Pi’s massive bass response, while the tone control offers plenty of room to dial out the mud when you need to cut through. And while Big Muff style pedals are often favored for their more extreme settings, dialing down the Sustain and rolling down your volume control unlocks endless low-to-medium-gain tones to explore.
