OP Amp Big Muff Pi

OP Amp Big Muff Pi
FUZZ
Description
Utilizing operational amplifiers rather than traditional discrete transistors, this distortion/fuzz reissue faithfully reconstructs the late-1970s V4 and V5 circuit variations famously relied upon for the crushing rhythm sounds of 1990s alternative rock. Three gain stages and an active tone control provide massive sustain alongside a dense, gritty fuzz texture. A dedicated tone-bypass switch completely removes the tone stack from the circuit, yielding an unfiltered mid-forward boost with increased volume and raw bite. Original designer Howard Davis collaborated with Electro-Harmonix and The Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan to refine and authenticate the sound of this reissue. Housed in a die-cast enclosure, it delivers the signature scooped wall of sound while offering switchable tone flexibility for cutting through live mixes.
