mooseherman « All the Big Muff Power in a smaller pedal! »

(contenu en anglais)
This is a (physically) smaller version of the legendary Electro Harmonix Big Muff Pedal. It is a heavy fuzz and sustainer, a unique combo when the Big Muff was first introduced. This pedal's larger predecessor became legendary after being used by David Gilmour and Jimi Hendrix, amongst many other, newer players. It is an analog pedal through and through. There are no excess connection types other that the 1/4" input and output, as well as the input for a power supply (sold seperately, unfortunately). This isn't rackable of computer/midi capable.
UTILIZATION
This is a really easy pedal to use, just like the original. There are three knobs, Sustain, Tone and Volume, all of which are rather self-explanatory assuming you know that sustain is virtually the same as compression. There is really no need for a manual.
SOUND QUALITY
When I first saw the Little Big Muff, I assumed that it was a less powerful, cleaner pedal than the original (whatever that means anymore) Big Muff. I later tried one out and was actually really surprised. This thing sounds very much like the Big Muff Pi, and has minimal differences from the larger ones that came out in the same year (2000). This is a supremely dirty, powerful fuzz pedal. It's great for really rocking rhythms. Some people complain about leads, I tend to either switch pickups and increase volume on the guitar or even use a boost of some type to get a better lead sound with it. When you have enough clarity and high end, you can really make this pedal sing!
OVERALL OPINION
This is a perfect way to make the Big Muff easier for most people. If you're crowding your pedal board to make room for your big muff, you might want to think about this alternative as you'll suffer virtually no tonal differences. The price is totally worth it for the killer tone.
