Deluxe Big Muff PI : Excellent upgrade to the standard EHX big muff!

I play in a band that covers a lot of early 1990s pop punk and power pop and so the use of a EHX Big Muff Pi is important in songs by Weezer and Green day in the band. I love the tone of the Big muff in general but it has a well known problem for not cutting through a band mix very well for solos and getting lost within the bass guitar and drums.

EHX have solved this problem brilliantly with the deluxe big muff.. one side of the pedal is the big muff you know and love, and is identical to my current pedal, however it is the mid boost and cut section that has been added that really makes this pedal worth the money. It gives you a second foot switch that when pressed can cut or boost your selected part of the mid range frequency, meaning you have 2 muff sounds on seperate pedals, and meaning you can set a solo tone that boost the mids and really cuts through the mix in a band setting. No more need to put a tubescreamer type pedal in front of the muff to get it to stand out. Also includes a noise gate and a pick attack section on the boost - meaning you can really dial in two seprate tones on your you big muff pedal - brilliant upgrade to a classic! Dare i say the definitive big muff pedal? I think so!
