Electro-Harmonix Big Muff Pedal Review

If you’re a guitarist or a bassist then the chances are that you could benefit from having an Electro Harmonix Big Muff pedal in your collection. The Big Muff creates a very classic sounding distortion tone and you can get an absolutely perfect tone for rock music with this pedal. A lot of band’s have the Big Muff in their pedal collection, and for very good reason too; the Electro Harmonix Big Muff really does create a great sound, and even if you have other distortion pedals in your collection already, this is still a great pedal to add to your collection and a pedal that you’ll no doubt get a huge amount of use out of it.

If you have an aspiring bassist/guitarist in your family then the Electro Harmonix Big Muff would be an absolutely perfect gift to buy them as a Christmas or birthday present. I’m sure this pedal would certainly put a massive smile on anyone’s face to receive, and would most definitely be put to good use.

As a bassist myself, it’s the Bass Big Muff that I personally have experience with, an absolutely fantastic pedal for bass guitarists, the standard Big Muff has long been used by bassists also however, and for someone that plays both bass and guitar, I’m sure the Big Muff Pi would be a great addition to their pedal collection, and a pedal that they could happily use on both of their instruments of choice. So as a guideline, Bass Big Muff for bass, and Big Muff Pi for guitar, but do understand that the standard Big Muff would also compliment your bass guitar very nicely and so may be a better choice for those that play both instruments.
