Classic dual op-amp Big Muff tone
The Big Muff Pi 2 with Tone Wicker is built around the sought-after dual op-amp Big Muff Pi 2 circuit, preserving the thick sustain, rich saturation, and distinctive mid-forward voice that set this version apart from other Big Muff designs. It produces the smooth, singing lead tones and powerful rhythm sounds that have made the Big Muff one of the most recognisable fuzz pedals ever created. Whether you're playing soaring solos, huge walls of distortion, or sustaining single notes, the pedal delivers the unmistakable character that players expect from a classic Big Muff.
Tone and Wicker modifications
Electro Harmonix has expanded the original circuit by adding two highly effective switching options that dramatically increase its flexibility. The Tone switch bypasses the EQ section entirely, removing the tone control from the circuit to produce a full-band, unfiltered fuzz response with maximum impact. The three-position Wicker switch adjusts the circuit's high-frequency filtering, offering Full, Half, and Off settings. These options introduce varying levels of additional top-end clarity and presence, allowing the pedal to cut through dense mixes or retain its traditional darker voice whenever required.
Five additional tonal voices
By combining the Tone and Wicker switches, the Big Muff Pi 2 with Tone Wicker provides five additional operating modes beyond the standard circuit. This greatly expands the range of available sounds, making it easy to adapt the pedal to different amplifiers, pickup types, and musical styles. Brighter settings add extra bite and definition for darker rigs, while the standard configuration retains the familiar Big Muff warmth and sustain. The result is a pedal that remains faithful to its origins while offering considerably greater versatility.
Simple operation and dependable design
Despite its expanded capabilities, the Big Muff Pi 2 with Tone Wicker remains straightforward to use. Dedicated Volume, Tone, and Sustain controls provide intuitive adjustment of output level, EQ, and gain, while the two additional switches instantly reshape the pedal's overall character. Its fully analogue circuit preserves the dynamic response and organic feel that fuzz enthusiasts appreciate, while flexible power options allow operation from the included 9V battery or an optional 9.6V DC power supply for dependable performance on stage, in the studio, or at home.
