Electro-Harmonix reissues the classic Triangle Big Muff Pi
The brand celebrates its 50th anniversary with a re-creation of its flagship pedal.
To celebrate its 50th anniversary, Electro-Harmonix has gone back in time to reissue the pedal that propelled the brand to fame all those decades ago: the Triangle Big Muff Pi.
The fuzz box retains the original’s ‘triangle’ knob layout—“Volume,” “Sustain” and “Tone”—but within a sleeker and slimmer enclosure, identical to the one used in last year’s Green Russian Muff reissue. In terms of tone, EHX claims it is a faithful re-creation of the original Big Muff fuzz circuit, circa 1969.
“Original pedals are now selling for hundreds of dollars, and this reissue absolutely nails that creamy, violin-like sustain and musical tone at a price a working musician can afford,” said EHX founder, Mike Matthews.
Other notable features of the reissue: an LED to signal effect status and the option to power up with a nine-volt AC adapter.
With these ‘Version 1’ pedals becoming increasingly tricky to come by, EHX fans won’t want to let this opportunity pass them by.
