Big Muff Pi W. Tone Wicker : Classic Big muff sound, with a super switch

6 years ago

This is my main go to fuzz pedal. You can get all the well known big muff sounds with this pedal. It has a small footprint on your pedal board (compared to the original).

The major pro of this pedal is the wicker switch. When it is off the pedal is fat and classic big muff. When engaged, the bass frequencies are tightened up a bit and the mids are pushed a little, producing a more modern vibe fuzz tone.

The con is the tone on off switch. You have to be careful when cranking this pedal with the tone switch on. The moment you turn off the tone control, the pedal really jumps in volume. In a live environment, I would just leave the tone switch on or off for the entire set as the volume difference between these two settings are significant.

All in all I would recommend this pedal. The combination of fat classic big muff fuzz tones (wicker not engaged) and more modern mid pushed fuzz tones (wicker engaged) makes this a great pedal.
