About this listing
Electro-Harmonix Deluxe Big Muff π in very goog condition and in full working order. This machine runs on 220 Volt and has an European plug.It's a fuzz combined with a " Electro-Harmonix Soul Preacher " compressor. Quote from Kitrae ;"The Electro-Harmonix Deluxe Big Muff was an IC based version of the Big Muff circuit that included the Electro-Harmonix Soul Preacher compressor."It is sought after by diehard Dinosaur Jr fans, such as myself, remembering the thrills and sheer power of the guitar sound of the 1st album " Dinosaur Jr. " and 2nd album " You're living all over me " incl. " Little fury things " and " In a Jar " created by an ; Electro-Harmonix Deluxe Big Muff PiInterview J. Mascis with Kitrae quoted ;" J. Mascis : Well, just when I started playing guitar. I had the intention of starting Dinosaur, so I knew I needed a fuzz box. I don’t know how I came across one, maybe at the mall. I came across this Deluxe Big Muff that I bought. That’s the first one.KR: Is that what we hear on those early Dinosaur records?J. Mascis : Yeah, that’s on the first two albums, then it got stolen one night. Then I traded a Music Man 100 watt amp head for another one. This guy I knew had one. I didn’t like this amp too much, and he thought I was crazy to trade a whole amp for a pedal, but...KR: Was that another Deluxe Big Muff?J. Mascis : Yeah, but it didn’t sound quite as good somehow.KR: The circuits changed a few times in the Deluxe Big Muffs, and there were two versions.J. Mascis : Oh really?KR: Yeah, minor changes, but some of them sound slightly different.J. Mascis : It was weird. The problem I had with it is it had a weird kind of ghost fuzz, even when it was turned off, you could hear this little buzz.KR: That sounds familiar. I have one that does the same thing. That was just the nature of the circuit. When the pedal effect is switched off, the signal is not truly bypassed but travels through one of the IC chips. The IC adds a bit of gain to the signal, so even bypassed there is a slight fuzz sound.J. Mascis : Yeah."
