Electro-Harmonix BIG MUFF (w/tone-bypass)

[monkeyxx]

another good mid control is a Skreddy inspired 3-way mid switch for "flat, scoop, boost" mids. google for "IvIark blogspot Mayo" for an idea of how to set up this switch. I think I like it even better than the mid knob mod because it's physically smaller, and a little quicker to toggle, still with all the sounds you need

[Linsenpuppe]

Many people ask how this mod works. It´s very simple, a good mod for beginners:

Even more interesting ist the 4-position switch of the "Large Beaver" from buildyourownclone[dot]com. See the schematic for details...

for much better mid control I would recommend adding a MID knob, rather than the tone bypass which completely changes the tone of the pedal. if you want more mids, just dial a few more in. use this website to help--google "big muff mods and tweaks". I added a mid pot to my muff and it's been a godsend for me, made the pedal useable. I hardly ever go tone bypass

[andy92811]

Technically that should be a 78 muff but the pots may date back to 76.

my fav fuzz pedal, use it with bass and guitar

[d3reilly]

wow, this really sounds like the "heavy-voodoo-blues" tone that jack white gets.

[elianmaier]

what does the tone bypass do exactly? I'm trying to get more mids from my big muff but I don't know exactly wich mod I should do

[PantheonLincoln]

The "tome bypass" does what it says - it bypasses the tone knob on the Big Muff. The tone section is the part of the circuit that contributes to the "scooped" sound typical of the Big Muff. If you're looking for a little more mids then that sounds like the kind of thing you're looking for.

[TheFunkify]

Actually it bypasses the tone "stack" not just the tone knob. Just search forums or google big muff mod, and find the one that suits what you want it to do, and make sure your model is correct. There are lots of pics even showing you exactly what to connect to what, or what components to replace. Either that or buy the new Tone Wicker model.

[niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiick]

sounds more like the fourth version op amp muff from the late 70s/early 80s

sexy :)

[alterdcrash]

great pedal,but your playing is so boring

[strabbs1]

this thing ROARS!!! just orederd mine HURRAH

[hum1]

awesome!!!

[supercool126]

is it just me or did i hear a little bit of phase in the beginning?

[arrotamiltan]

Wich setting was the first one?

Sounded like the early days of Zeppelin.

[codyclarke1]

haha dude!

i was thinking the exact same thing

like stuff off of led zeppelin II

[arrotamiltan]

We all know LED ZEP because of their ultra heavy saturated sound. I cant believe the amp didnt break in concerts

[WRannet]

well ... page amp was 200watts loud, so I guess it would be difficult to really crank it

[repeterfender]

if you spent as much time practicing as yo do colecting cool pedals, maybe these vids would be worth watching. just a bunch of wanking.

Thank you very much for producing this review, but the sound quality of your video was too poor for this to be of any use to me.

If you look in my playlists, you'll find a video that outlines some techniques for improving the audio quality of your videos.

Cheers,

Nick.

its 4:30 in the morn and i'm super fucking hungry right now. i wonder if i can get close to fu manchus sound with the big muff.come on.

[aross001]

yes

[prorock91]

what equipment are you using for this pedal

[primussux]

Your mic is on the right side of the camera and when your hand goes by it phases and shit. Next time you record a video, just sit farther away from the mic and don't obstruct the mic. Better yet, point it right at the amp!
