Deluxe Big Muff PI is the latest evolution of this legendary pedal Disto / Fuzz used by Santana, Jack White, Billy Corgan, Jay Mascis, Korn, Bardo Pond, David Gilmour, Dan Auerbach, Sonic Youth, etc ...

Menu: 5 knobs for the primary circuit: Volume, Tone, Sustain, Attack Gate
2 potentiometers to secondary lecircuit (mids) and Level Freq
1 Bypass General
1 footswitch to engage the Mid tour
1 switch lever called Q (it is on the mid)
1 switch lever called Bass Boost / normal
a Jack socket for pedal Expression

UTILIZATION

The general configuration is it simple?
a 5 year old can make it work ...

Editing sounds and effects is it easy?

is turned and it's Ok

The manual is clear and sufficient? ...
totally unnecessary given the ease of use ..

SOUND QUALITY

I separated a Big Muff Pi, there are two years for a simple reason: I could not get a clean sound ... it was either Deaf or nasal ...

there are fifteen, I bought a Big Muff Sovtek that I could keep 3 days, without doubt for the same reasons ...

it's seeing the video presentation of the Deluxe, I had a revelation! Finally, they added a parametric EQ to change the color of the Big Muff !!!

This addition changes everything! I can finally have a well-loaded midrange and bass and, unlike its big muff base, it is possible to have lots of settings that sound to death!

you want the sound of Gilmour in Pompeii, it is possible
you want the big muff like no other, it is also possible!

the attack function is very effective at low speed

three button Tone (Tone and Level freq) are interdependent and offer a truly different and usable wide variety of sounds!

with the bass boost engaged, your eDeluxe Big Muff becomes Monolithic!

if you plug an expression pedal, you get a sort of Fuzz Wah!

OVERALL OPINION

How long have you use it?

I have since 11/17/2014

What is so special that you like most
THE SOOOOON! Adjustment possibilities, in short everything

the least?
Nothing ....

Have you tried many other models before buying it?
an old model (The Violet), the Sovtek, the PI, the germanium and the Tone Wicker ...

this one surpasses them all!

How would you rate the quality / price?
10/10

With experience, you do again this choice? ...
pity they are not out there 15 years ....

ps: in attached, I made you a range of home settings (they are not in the manual ...) Gift of the house!
