electro-harmonix Big Muff Pi Fuzz Pedal
Congratulations! You have just purchased the finest harmonic distortion- sustain device developed to date for the electric guitar player. The Big Muff Pi will give you a sweet violin-like sustaining sound. It’s the same legendary sound created by Jimi Hendrix.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
- VOLUME CONTROL — sets the output level.
- SUSTAIN CONTROL — adjusts the amount of sustain and distortion.
- TONE CONTROL — provides a range of sounds from high treble to deep bass.
OPERATION AND WARNINGS
Power from the internal 9-volt battery, or an external power supply, is activated by plugging into the input. The input cable should be removed when the unit is not in use to avoid running down the battery. To achieve its long sustain, the Big Muff Pi has a very high maximum gain. This requires that pickups and cables be well shielded and properly grounded to avoid excessive hum when high sustain control settings are used. The Big Muff Pi is powered from a 9V battery or you can use an optional 9VDC AC Adapter capable of delivering at least 25mA to the black power jack on the rear of the unit. We recommend the EHX 9.6DC-200 AC ADAPTER. The AC Adapter must have a center- negative plug that fits a 2.1mm center pin. The battery may be left in or taken out when using an AC Adapter. The Big Muff has a current draw of approximately 3mA at 9VDC. The external power supply should not exceed 14VDC.
