electro-harmonix Triangle Big Muff Pi Overdrive Distortion and Fuzz
Effect Pedal
Congratulations on your purchase of the Triangle Big Muff. It’s a faithful re- creation of the original and dripping with vintage Electro-Harmonix DNA and tone. Dubbed the Triangle Big Muff because of the layout of its Volume, Sustain and Tone controls, this is the one that started it all circa 1969.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
- VOLUME Control – Sets the output level
- TONE Control – Provides a range of sounds from high treble to deep bass. As you turn the knob clockwise the treble increases and bass decreases.
- SUSTAIN Control – Adjusts the amount of sustain and distortion.
- Footswitch & Status LED – Use the footswitch to toggle between effect and bypass. The Triangle Big Muff is active when the LED is lit. When the LED is off, the pedal is in true bypass mode.
- IN Jack – Plug the output of your instrument or another effects pedal into the ¼” input jack. The input impedance presented at this jack is 122kΩ.
- OUT Jack – Connect the Triangle Big Muff’s ¼” OUT jack to the input of your amplifier or another effects pedal. When the Triangle Big Muff is in bypass mode, the OUT jack is connected directly to the IN jack. The output impedance is nominally 25kΩ.
POWER
Powering the Triangle Big Muff Pi
The Triangle Big Muff Pi may be powered from a 9V battery or an optional 9VDC
AC Adapter such as the EHX9.6DC-200 or any Boss® or Ibanez® style AC adapters
capable of delivering at least 30mA. Plug the output of the adapter into the
9V power jack located at the top of the pedal. The battery may be left in or
taken out when using an AC Adapter. The current draw is approximately 2.2mA at
9VDC.
Please Note: Using the wrong adapter or a plug with the wrong polarity may
damage your Triangle Muff Pi and void the warranty.
Changing the Battery
To change the 9V battery, remove the 4 screws on the bottom of the Triangle
Big Muff Pi. Take off the bottom plate and change the battery. Avoid touching
the circuit board while the bottom plate is off. Replace the bottom plate and
screws.
