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
Two dual op-amps: Get a fresh twist on the classic Big Muff sound with a unique fuzz character that’s raw, dynamic and full of attitude.
Volume, Tone & Sustain controls: Dial in everything from gritty breakup to full-on fuzz mayhem with intuitive controls that keep shaping your tone simple and fun.
Blend knob: Mix your clean and fuzz signals to perfection — keep your low‑end punch intact while adding as much filthy fuzz flavour as you dare.
Bass Boost switch: Kick in extra low‑end heft for bigger, beefier fuzz tones that shake floors, walls and anything else that isn’t bolted down!
Latching/momentary footswitch action: Switch between standard on/off or unleash instant blasts of fuzz chaos at the press of a button.
True bypass: Enjoy pure, uncoloured tone when the pedal’s off, so your core sound stays crystal clear and uncompromised.

Fuzz

A fuzz pedal is one of the earliest and most aggressive forms of distortion, turning your clean guitar signal into a thick, saturated wall of sound. It works by clipping the waveform almost flat, creating a compressed, gritty tone full of harmonic overtones. The result is raw, unruly, and unmistakable — from the sputtering breakup of vintage germanium circuits to the searing sustain of modern silicon designs. Fuzz pedals react strongly to your guitar’s volume and pickup choice, making them dynamic tools for expressive players.

Whether you’re chasing the classic tones of Hendrix and the Smashing Pumpkins or exploring heavy, experimental textures, fuzz remains a favourite for its personality and unpredictability. It can sound smooth and sustaining, or wild and velcro-like, depending on how it’s set up. A good fuzz pedal cuts through the mix while adding thickness and attitude, turning any riff or lead line into something bold and unmistakably alive.

Guitar Pedals

Your pedal is like a signature dish for your sound — a flavour-packed creation that transforms the bland ingredients of your guitar into something unforgettable. Each one adds its own seasoning, texture, and heat, turning a simple meal into a feast of tone.

These tasty little boxes sit in a row, like plates on a buffet, letting you mix and match flavours as you play. With one tap of your foot, you can swap sweet for spicy, subtle for smoky, and serve up something completely new. From the comfort food of warm overdrive to the fiery kick of fuzz, from smooth jazz sauce to heavy-metal spice, pedals give players a full menu of options to express their taste.  And just like with food, once you’ve tried one dish, you’ll want to sample them all.

Collecting, trading, and discovering new flavours soon becomes part of the joy of being a tone-loving gourmet geek with a guitar.
