This is a great pedal Sounds great

Its a classic

most famous one out there. best bang for the buck

Amazing fuzz sound

cool pedal.low noise,roayl sound,metal body ,with low price,if you love overload fuzz sound i recommend.

A classic for a reason

The big muff fuzz sound is a well known classic, loud and distorted without being harsh. This unit is a bit smaller than the original and the controls and construction quality feel a bit flimsy

Not so Little !!

The Little Big Muff has a huge sound.

Creates a punchy agreesive tone which you expect from this beaut of a pedal.

True to the classic

To clarify, this pedal is not subtle. It's a unique and heavy fuzz, which more or less takes over your tone with little regard to the amp or guitar you are using. This being said, it's amazing at what it does - especially for the price. The "little" version is very close to the original Big Muff. Definitely worth it for the convenience.

Small minus for the stiff and clicky foot switch.

A classic

This is a great pedal to get that classic muff tone. I don't always keep it on my pedal board as its not a sound I need that often, but when I do, this is my preferred pedal to get it. I think it's one of those pedals everyone should have!

Nice fuzz sounds & saturated sustain

I use the Little Big Muff Pi for 2 reasons mainly, first one being, I needed a warm fuzz sound for recording riffs and the second reason being sustain for lead playing since my pickup output is somewhat weak on the e and b strings. It does both of these jobs for me very well.

Some other things i noticed: The casing is very sturdy, the controls are very intuitive and can blend some crazy sounds, depending on what you dial in the pedal can create crazy loud feedback but just keeping it away from the amp fixies that issue.

Amazing pedal! If you want a rock sound there you have it.

it is a perfect. sound is good

Amazing!

A must have under your foot. Classic sounding!

Heavy distortion

This is the first distortion pedal I've used and I'm starting to love it more and more every time I try it. The distortion is pretty heavy and muddy and even on lowest settings it's very fuzzy and dirty. The distortion is excellent for heavy rhythm playing - it's very dirty but has a good attack to it. I find it a bit too heavy for lead playing, although it works with a bit of tweaking on the tone and sustain. Power chords roar with it and the metal housing feels like it can take beating. The controls can give you a few options in tone but one should keep in mind that even with sustain turned down it's still pretty muddy.

Pros:

built like a tank

brilliant for heavy rhythm playing/power chords

massive sound

Cons:

a bit too much for lead playing

doesn't "roll off" at lower settings/not very dynamically responsive (very muddy even when sustain and guitar volume are turned down)

Electro Harmonix Little Big Muff Pi

Classic distortion. Used to use it on bass/elec. guitar aswell.

It can be agressive and it has strong distortion.

Depends on what youre looking for.

A big sound in a little box from the less big of little Big Muffs

The best Big Muff I've tried. Incredible range on the tone knob, and subtle changes possible with the sustain. Volume however is best 'set and left' then adjusted on the guitar, though this is often the case with all varieties of Muff. A broad palette of textures available with single coils and with humbuckers... well, you know what you're getting, and it's generally loud. Indestructible box though the similarly solid footswitch isn't to everybody's taste. The only Muff to buy for those with a cluttered pedalboard.

Really muff , small size!

Great pedal with a lot of sustain!!! With this you get a big sound!!

Ol timer still got it

U know what you're getting, features and sound lives up to expectations. Build quality seems OK. I've had mine only a month or so, no problems so far.

It's a muff

It's a big muff. You need this.

They can get quite noisy when you're not playing, which can be a little annoying, but they sound great. Can't go wrong with it. Get one now!

Cool pedal

First i only bought this as i heard the Big Muff was used by Kurt Cobain on Nevermind and that was the sound i was looking for a E.P i was doing.

Firstly make sure you have TS cables and not TRS as most pedals are designed to to only work with TS to conserve power. (TRS can be used on the output not the input).

Okay so the pedal has 3 knobs and a foot switch.

It has sounds for different genres but not every setting is going to work. With this kind of pedal your going to need a lot of tweeking to get the tone you want.

The sustain is the amount of distortion on this pedal. I find the best spots for a good sound is at 12, 3, and 5 o clock.

This is a good pedal if you like the big fuzz sound. Would suit Metal and Punk more than any other genres in my opinion.

Over all i recommend you might find it useful to have on your pedal board but not for everyone.

Good, but it's a big muff

Excellent pedal build quality, though it really does offer just one sound, and thats great if you want the muff distortion tone, but not if you really like to vary the sound.

Lots of character

This was the first single-effect pedal for my electric guitar I purchased 3 years ago, and it still is on my pedalboard, getting much use.

Let me first point out a downside - there is a clicking sound in the amp, when you use the footswitch. Otherwise, it is a fine little pedal. Its character is somewhere between fuzz and distortion, and this changes depending on the pickup you use (neck or bridge) and the position of the tone knob. The sound is very juicy and full, and the pedal is usable and great-sounding with all the different types of guitars, both humbuckers and single coils.The Little Big Muff would benefit from a separate low/high control, though.

The case is very solid, and surprisingly the pedal came with a battery inside, which is a pleasant bonus (you do not know that before you open the casing though).

A great purchase all in all, never had a single regret.
