ELECTRO HARMONIX Rams Head Big Muff

ELECTRO-HARMONIX Ram's Head Big Muff Pi Fuzz / Distortion / Sustainer

The Electro-Harmonix Ram's Head Big Muff Pi is a tribute to one of the most sought-after vintage pedals in history. This "Nano" format reissue recreates the authentic circuit of the 1973 "V2 Violet" scheme, which features exceptional note separation and incredible sustain. Unlike other Big Muff versions, the "Ram's Head" offers a less "muddy" low end and more clarity, making it perfect for both rhythmic playing and lyrical solos.

While the sound remains true to the original, the pedal has been enhanced with modern conveniences: True Bypass switching, so the effect does not affect your guitar tone when off, an LED indicator, and the ability to power it with a standard 9V adapter. This is an excellent choice for those looking for that "golden" 70s rock sound in a compact enclosure.
