Hendrix and Santana were among the first to get a piece of the Pi, and for over 40 years the Big Muff Pi has been defining the sound of rock guitar.

Review: What it lacks in versatility, it makes up for in quality of tone - If your a tone junkie like myself, this pedal is not very versatile. Nevertheless, it is one of the best at what it does, and what it does is hard to find in another pedal. What it does: Easy to adjust and blend with any set-up. I agree with other reviewers in that it will give you perfect tone for white stripes, and sustain that is necessary for solos from Gilmour (note that this is only one of many pedals used by gilmour, so this alone will not provide the floyd sound). The tone also matches 60's and 70's hard rock like black sabbath (iron man), some deep purple (smoke on the water), some early rush (working man), and of course the smashing pumpkins sound all the way (this was one of their primary pedals, cherub rock sounds awesome). Adjust the tone on the pedal to find perfect AC/DC. Basically, the tone allows you to adjust the harmonics to include some of the high end notes in chords. Thus it is a great pedal to provide fuzz without losing the higher end notes, so great for chording. The sustain knob in incredible. I will never need any more sustain than this pedal provides as I couldn't imagine writing or playing a solo where a note rings for more than 3 or 4 measures. As always though, good tone is subjective so I would highly recommend playing through one before buying. Finally, from what I understand and hear myself, this pedal has a true bypass...meaning it will not affect the guitar's natural tone when pedal is turned off. What it does not do: Just about everything else you would want your guitar to do, especially if your a tone junkie. and some people may differ on me with this, but I wouldn't recommend super-heavy metal through this...maybe could handle some on the lighter end of this genre. PS- I play fender strat, ibanez, and les paul through fender deluxe tube amp. Review: O would recomend - Great sound, A classic. Good price for a good quality product. ## Features - Singing sustain with attitude - Crushing distortion - Adjustable tone - 9V battery included ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000BQTCDO | | Amperage | 3 milliamps | | Audio Output Effects | Distortion | | Best Sellers Rank | #18,491 in Musical Instruments ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments ) #70 in Guitar Distortion & Overdrive Effects | | Brand | Electro-Harmonix | | Brand Name | Electro-Harmonix | | Color | White,Pink | | Connector Type | 1/4 inch (6.35mm) audio jack | | Controls Type | Knob | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 591 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00683274010144 | | Hardware Interface | 1/4-inch Audio | | Included Components | 9V battery | | Item Dimensions | 8.6 x 5.9 x 3.9 inches | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 5.5"L x 2.95"W x 6.88"H | | Item Type Name | Electric Guitar Electronics | | Item Weight | 680 g | | Manufacturer | Electro-Harmonix | | Manufacturer Part Number | Big Muff Pi Distortion Pedal | | Model Name | Big Muff Pi Distortion/Fuzz | | Model Number | US BM | | Number of Items | 1 | | Power Source | Battery Powered | | Product Dimensions | 5.5"L x 2.95"W x 6.88"H | | Signal Format | Analog | | Style | Fuzz | | UPC | 683274010144 799456982465 989898857296 706581267206 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Voltage | 9 volts | | Warranty Description | 1 year manufacturer defect. | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Electro-Harmonix - **Color:** White,Pink - **Item Weight:** 680 Grams - **Product Dimensions:** 5.5"L x 2.95"W x 6.88"H - **Style:** Fuzz ## Images ![Big Muff Pi Guitar Effects Pedal | A timeless piece, the Big Muff Pi has been defining the sound of rock guitar for over 50 years! - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71WB-ME9mOL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ What it lacks in versatility, it makes up for in quality of tone *by N***M on June 11, 2007* If your a tone junkie like myself, this pedal is not very versatile.

Good price for a good quality product. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The original and the best. *by K***A on August 7, 2015* With the newest version of Electro-Harmonix's iconic Big Muff Pi, once again made in New York City, they have returned to the original "finest harmonic distortion-sustain device developed to date". The sound is outrageous, and any guitarist who has been relying on the Russian-made Sovtek Big Muff is in for a sonic treat. The venerable 12AX7(EH) twin triode vacuum tube is still made in Russia, but the Russians have been the kings of vacuum tube technology for several decades now. The Big Muff's melodic tone is a deep tapestry of harmonics building on harmonics, powerful distortion sound that will blow you away whether you crank your amp up to 11, or are practicing quietly. There are less expensive distortion boxes, almost all purely digital. The big Muff Pi outshines the rest by doing one thing, and doing it well. NOTE: If you intend to buy an A/C adapter, there is conflicting information as to which type of plug fits the pedal, and Electro-Harmonix themselves has conflicting information on their website. The power supply most commonly recommended is incorrect. It has a mini phone plug. This plug WILL NOT FIT the socket on the Big Muff. Its socket takes a 2mm hollow plug with center negative. These adapters are made by Electro-Harmonix and Roland, but it can be difficult to figure out which is which on Amazon's site. My recommendation is to stick to the battery until you need an adapter, then bring the Big Muff into a guitar store to make sure. ## Frequently Bought Together - Electro-Harmonix Big Muff Pi Guitar Effects Pedal - Donner 6 Inch Guitar Patch Cable Guitar Effect Pedal Cables Black 6 Pack - Pro Co RAT2 Distortion Pedal --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/1299415-big-muff-pi-guitar-effects-pedal-a-timeless-piece-big](https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/1299415-big-muff-pi-guitar-effects-pedal-a-timeless-piece-big) --- *Product available on Desertcart Argentina* *Store origin: AR* *Last updated: 2026-09-01*
