The Bass Big Muff draws its roots from the legendary Sovtek battle-tank green Big Muff Pi, from the late 90’s as well as from the original Electro-Harmonix Big Muff Pi from the early 70’s. These Big Muff Pi’s are often employed by bass players to thicken up their sound or to give them over-the-top low end growl. The Bass Big Muff takes the best elements from both of these classics and employs sonic elements that were specifically designed for your bass.

controls:
Sustain Knob: As in the original Big Muff Pi, adjust the amount of sustain and distortion.

Tone Knob: provides a range of sound from high treble to deep bass. The overall tone filter frequencies were chosen to enhance your bass guitar.

Volume Knob: The volume knob sets the output level of the distortion. When the toggle switch is set to DRY, the volume knob has no effect on the output level of your original bass.

Bass Boost/ Norm/ Dry Toggle Switch: This is a 3 position toggle switch that allows you to choose three distinctly different sounds. In Bass Boost mode, the top position, a bass frequency boost is added to the distortion. It is most effective when the Tone knob is set to the upper or treble have of its rotation. In Norm mode, the middle position, you have the pure tone of the classic Big Muff Pi. In Dry mode, the bottom position, the original dry signal from your instrument is mixed with the output of the distortion circuit. The level of Dry signal is constant and will not change as you turn the Volume knob up or down. This allows you to set the level of distortion effect against your dry signal.

EHX Bass Big Muff came in yesterday and I got to play with a bunch. I’m very happy with some of the design choices in the sound of the circuit now that I’ve had a chance to use it (some of which seemed a hair suspect on initial inspection of the documentation).

I’ve been remiss in posting new reviews because I’ve participating in a songwriting challenge and it’s been taking most of my ‘free’ time. That said, I’ve got 4 reviews in the works and I WILL be posting at least three of them this weekend, and the world permitting I’ll get that 4th in as well.

New to the fold and in the review queue.   The Skreddy Pink flesh is now gone to a new home, but I got a decent trade for it that I think people will be interested in hearing.
