EHX Big Muff Pi With Tone Wicker
BIG MUFF PI WITH TONE WICKER With Enhanced Tone Processing
Congratulations on your purchase of the BIG MUFF Pi with TONE WICKER! The BMPTW is a battery operated distortion pedal that maintains the legendary Big Muff Pi sound while offering two powerful and dynamic tonal adjustments that are unique to any distortion or fuzz product found in the market today. The original BIG MUFF PI sound is maintained while new tonal variations deliver edgy and aggressive sonic possibilities.
THEORY OF OPERATION
The BIG MUFF Pi with TONE WICKER is an effects pedal designed to deliver all of the sonic power of the legendary Big Muff Pi while providing user editing capabilities that are unique to the Tone Wicker design. Wicker mode opens up the high frequency bandwidth of your distortion sound delivering a top end that is new and exciting. The Tone switch, when set to OFF, defeats the Big Muff’s Tone knob yielding an extremely powerful distortion with a fire breathing new Big Muff Pi character.
CONTROLS
Sustain knob
As in the original Big Muff Pi, adjusts the amount of sustain and distortion.
Tone Knob
The Tone knob allows the musician to dial in just the right setting between
deep bass and high treble.
Volume Knob
The volume knob sets the overall output level of the effect.
Wicker Switch
Activate Wicker mode by flipping the Wicker switch up to the ON position where
the high frequency bandwidth is opened up for a bright and clear top end. Set
the Wicker switch to OFF to obtain the classic Big Muff Pi sound.
Tone Switch
The Tone switch allows the user to activate the Tone knob or to completely
bypass the tone circuitry. When the Tone switch is set to ON, the Tone knob is
active, just like a standard Big Muff. When the Tone switch is set to OFF, the
Tone knob and all of its circuitry is bypassed. This setting yields a totally
new Muff distortion with a powerful drive and uncolored gain. High output with
attitude. Please Note: When the Tone switch is set to OFF, turning the Tone
knob will produce no change to your sound. In addition, it is normal for the
output volume of your Big Muff Pi with Tone Wicker to increase when moving the
Tone switch from ON to OFF.
Status LED
When the LED is lit; the BMPTW effect is active. When the LED is off, the
BMPTW is in True Bypass mode. The Footswitch toggles between effect and bypass
modes.
INPUT Jack
This ¼” jack is the audio input to the BMPTW. The input impedance presented at
this jack is 130 k.
OUTPUT Jack
This ¼” jack is the audio output from the BMPTW. When the BMPTW is in Bypass
mode, the OUTPUT jack is connected directly to the INPUT jack.
9V Power Jack
The Big Muff with Tone Wicker is battery powered. You may use an external AC
Adapter power supply instead of the battery. Connect the AC Adapter’s plug to
the 9V Power Jack at the top of the BMPTW. The power jack’s polarity is center
negative. The BMPTW requires a clean 9VDC power supply at 50mA.
We recommend the Electro-Harmonix US96DC-200BI power supply.
