Electro-Harmonix Triangle Big Muff Pi

Electro-Harmonix · pedal

The Electro-Harmonix Triangle Big Muff reissues the original early-1970s V1 Muff, named for its triangular knob layout, delivering the thick, creamy fuzz that defined late-1960s and early-1970s rock with massive sustain and rich harmonics. Compared to other Muffs it is toppier, often raspier and more slicing, with a very scooped midrange and typically more sustain and brightness, which helps it cut through a band mix and stay articulate for leads while giving a nice crunch to power chords and palm muting. It nails the creamy, violin-like sustain and stringed-instrument bloom associated with soloists like David Gilmour and Carlos Santana. A thick, smooth fuzz-distortion hybrid that stays musical even at extreme gain, with Volume, Tone, and Sustain controls, it suits psychedelic, classic rock, and lead playing.
