Description
The Electro Harmonix Bass Big Muff Pi 2 is a glorious mash‑up of the Big Muff’s legendary fuzz heritage and the mythical, never‑quite‑released Op‑Amp fuzz that bass players have dreamt about for decades.
When the long‑lost ‘70s circuit was dug up and brought back to life with the help of Josh Scott from JHS Pedals, it caused a proper stir (and for good reason). This thing doesn’t just fuzz — it roars with its own unique voice, giving bassists that tasty, saturated growl without scooping out all their low end.
Classic grind with modern control
The Bass Big Muff Pi 2 delivers that unmistakable midrange snarl of the OG, complete with the flexible EQ shaping and near‑infinite sustain that every Big Muff fan expects. But this version goes even further…
On top of the classic Volume, Sustain and Tone controls, you get a Blend knob and Bass Boost switch. These are the keys to unlocking the perfect balance of filth and definition. Dial in as much of your dry signal as you like to keep things punchy and articulate, then hit Bass Boost to add extra meat, especially when you’re pushing brighter Tone settings.
Latching or momentary: your choice of chaos!
And because EHX loves a bit of fun, the Bass Big Muff Pi 2 also comes with a true‑bypass footswitch that works in normal latching mode or momentary mode. Tap the footswitch for normal latching functionality or press and hold for an explosive burst of fuzz fury.Key Features
