Electro-Harmonix Big Muff Pi with Tone Wicker
Unknown brand · pedal
The Electro-Harmonix Big Muff Pi with Tone Wicker carries the same thick, wooly, sustain-heavy fuzz as a standard Big Muff Pi, with an added three-position Wicker switch that opens up high-frequency filters for a raspier, more open top end and extra bite on sustained notes. With the Wicker switch bypassed it sits in classic, smooth Big Muff territory; engaged, it adds a brighter, more aggressive edge that cuts through a mix more than the stock voicing. A separate Tone-bypass switch removes the tone control from the circuit entirely for full, unfiltered saturation. It suits players who want the familiar scooped Big Muff sustain with extra tonal flexibility.
