Electro-Harmonix "Ram's Head" Big Muff Pi V2
Unknown brand · pedal
The Electro-Harmonix Ram's Head Big Muff Pi V2 is a germanium-topology fuzz variant from the early-to-mid 1970s, prized for a smoother, more articulate voice than other Big Muff versions. It has a throatier, midrange-sparkling character with less low-end weight but excellent note separation on chords, and effervescent, sustain-rich lead tone that sings on single-coil pickups and turns smoother and more vocal with humbuckers. It is closely associated with David Gilmour's Comfortably Numb solo tone, and also suits looser, grungier alt-rock fuzz textures. Its gain control set around noon produces some of the smoothest high-to-mid-gain fuzz in the Big Muff family.
