Electro-Hamronix Little Big Muff Pi

Electro-Hamronix Little Big Muff Pi

£59

We said: "There’s plenty of gain to drive an amp, but the key control is the tone knob. Its wide range will take you from bright, edgy fuzz to creamy liquid sustain and everywhere in between.”

We said: “Careful tone-shaping with the EQ controls can summon up some great tones reminiscent of the low-fi early fuzz pedals.”

£195

We said: “The tonal voicing feels just right, with a nice balance of frequencies that won’t radically
change your amp’s voice, but coat it with thick and harmonically rich sustaining fuzz.”

£200

We said: “A classic tactile fuzz with loads of sustain and good note articulation. There’s plenty of gain for boosting an amp and a useful tonal range too.”

We said: “It’s true forté is unbridled sonic terrorism, with staccato-gated fuzz, squeals,
howls and resonant droning feedback that you can then tune to pitch.”
