This is the Electro-Harmonix Germanium 4 Big Muff Pi. This version of EH's classic Big Muff circuit features 4 Germanium transistors powering separate overdrive and distortion sections that can be used independently, or stacked for a whole new dimension of Muff tone combinations. Each side of the Electro-Harmonix Germanium 4 Big Muff Pi has it's own set of controls with the usual gain and volume, as well as independent bias controls for a wide array of dirty textures. A voltage knob on the distortion side enhances flexibility even further, letting you imitate the compressed,voltage-starved tone of a Big Muff with a dying battery. The Electro-Harmonix Germanium 4 Big Muff Pi is made in NYC, USA and features True Bypass switching all the way around.

  • @vahnrondel Hey there. The Jekyll & Hyde is a totally different pedal! Yes they are both od/distor dual pedals but totally different. The J/K is a classic TS-9/808 style OD with a High gain Distortion. The Big Muff 4 is an original circuite based around germanium transistors To me any Germanium based OD sounds almost sparkly and warm and jumps out ALOT in the mix. if you eq it just right. The J/K is much more basic but still a great pedal. 100 dollars or less used so get both!

  • @alexisramirez79 Yup. Turbo Rat. He also used an older NYC Big Muff. Fuzz Face too I'm pretty sure.

  • @AsteroidsFlight it controls the impedance of the input, which makes the circuit react differently. Passive pickups usually have high impedance, while active pickups have low impedance. Regarding impedance, it's basically resistance, so low impedance means a higher ammount of signal going through. Or something like that.

  • Golden Boy... Nice!

  • So, would this be a good choice for using the distortion part for a stoner QOTSA-like tone and using the OD part to boost an already driven tube amp for a metal tone?

  • Humble PIE!!!

  • anyone? may i know ur opinion please? i was planning to buy the Visual Sound Jekyll & Hyde, but then I went to a music store and I found Germanium 4 Big Muff... Anyone can tell me the difference? please help... never heard the 2 twin pedals with my own ears...

  • @johnniejay Tad used the RAT. (At least it´s what I read somewhere...)

  • what means BIAS ?

  • 4:38 PRIMUS!!!!
