ELECTRO-HARMONIX / Op-Amp Big Muff Pi is a reissue of Op-Amp Big Muff born in the late 1970s. This model is famous for being used by Billy Corgan of Smashing Pumpkins. An operational amplifier is used for the amplification element instead of the general big muff transistor, and the gain stage adopts 3 stages instead of the conventional 4 stages.
The ELECTRO-HARMONIX / Big Muff Pi Original is a reissue of the Big Muff, famously used by Jimi Hendrix, Santana, and others. It retains all the great qualities of the original while significantly reducing noise. Its rich, heavy sound continues to captivate players even more than 40 years after its release, making it a representative guitar fuzz/distortion pedal.

It has also been modified to suit modern times, such as true bypass and support for 9V external power.
Debuting in 1978 as BOSS's first distortion pedal, this model can be considered the origin of BOSS compact pedals. It offers a wide range of distortion effects, from sweet and mild soft distortion to hard distortion with a sharp high-frequency edge. It truly is the king of distortion sounds! There's a reason it has consistently reigned as a top model, even as many other models have been released.
The ELECTRO-HARMONIX / Bass Big Muff is a Big Muff optimized for bass. Based on the Russian Sovtek Big Muff, also known as the ""Army Green"" model, it adds two output jacks: one for effect and one for dry.

It's recommended not only for bassists, but also for guitarists seeking a super-thick sound with boosted low frequencies.
