Get amazing vintage Big Muff sound in a modern-day package.
With original late-'70s Op-Amp Big Muff effects pedals commanding exorbitant prices, Mike Matthews decided to take the power to the people and reissue the classic pedal at a price players could afford. The circuitry of the Op-Amp Big Muff fuzz effects—sometimes also referred to as the IC or V4 Big Muff—has been faithfully recreated while several practical enhancements have been added, including a compact, die-cast chassis and true-bypass switching.
The pedal relies on op-amps rather than transistors and three gain stages rather than four to create its signature sound. The original Op-Amp Big Muff has many devotees, including Billy Corgan, who made use of it extensively on the Smashing Pumpkins’ 1993 album Siamese Dream. After playing the new reissue, Billy said: “The magic’s still in the box; I can still get what I’m looking for!”
