Read more about David Gilmour and the Big Muff. Fuzz or Big Muff Big Muffs are often referred to as fuzz and although that describes the tone, a traditional fuzz and Big Muff are soundwise and technically two different effects. While fuzz pedals are based on a very basic two transistor circuit, producing an uncompressed and raw tone, the Big Muff has a more complex cuircuit and a much more balanced tone with rich harmonics and sustain.

Mt Box Setup 2.36' title='Mt Box Setup 2.36' />It is perhaps more accurate to place the Big Muff in a category between fuzz and the more modern distortion. In terms of recreating Davids tones, youll be able to cover all the fuzz tones with a Big Muff at least the bright and aggressive silicon tones from Obscured by Clouds, Live at Pompeii and Dark Side of the Moon. However, a Big Muff will be hard to tame properly for those warm overdrive tones of the germanium fuzz David used for the early post Syd era up to Meddle. I dont recommend using fuzz to replicate the Big Muff tones. Although a silicon Muff can do a fairly good Animals tone, neither the germanium nor the silicon works that well for Wall and later tones. A good tip is to feature at least one fuzz and one Big Muff on your pedal board for a versatile setup. Big Muff on the pedal board. I recommend placing Big Muffs first in the line of gain pedals after wah and compression. This will allow the pedal to dominate the chain and tone when you stack it with boosters or overdrives. Although Big Muffs doesnt react to buffers as severly as fuzz pedals, they do prefer to be placed as far away from them as possible, to maintain the character and harmonics of the pedal. Big Muffs also needs an amp with enough compression and a bit of mid range, to sound smooth and warm. Fender Twins and other scooped and uncompressed amps, will make a Muff sound like a very agry bee. Read more about choosing the right pedals for your amp here. Vintage Big Muffs VS modern clones. Before you start searching Ebay for a vintage Big Muff you should keep in mind that unless you are very aware of what you are about do to, you can end up getting very disappointed.

Add forty years and heavy abuse from former owners and its quite obvious that these pedals wont sound as they once did. Its also a well known fact among collectors that theres very little difference between the so called triangle and rams head models other than the chassis and placement of the knobs. Aged parts and the inconsistency between circuits, means that two seemingly identical pedals will sound quite different to each other and you might very well end up with a rams head that sounds like a triangle or vice versa.

All pedals listed below were tested on typical Gilmour inspired setups, including Stratocasters and Hiwatt and Fender amps. Pleae note that the pedals may sound and behave differently on your setup. All scores are purely subjective. Triangle, Rams Head, US reissues and clones. The triangle and rams head era stretches from the late 6. These are known by their bright and aggressive tone, very little mid range, fat lower end and singing sustain. Ideal for combining with boosters and overdrives but some pedals might be a bit of a challenge on smaller amps and setups. The mid era OP amps and current US reissues has a slightly darker tone, more gain and are perhaps not that suited for Gilmours tones, although some of the new EHX variations and spin offs sports new features for a more versatile tone. Electro Harmonix triangle Big Muff 1. The first Big Muff model is considered by many to be the most musical of all. The pedal has a smooth and warm tone with rich sustain, fat lower end and a crisp attack. Its mild gain makes it easy to tame and ideal in a combination with a boosteroverdrive.

Compared to the average triangle the rams head has an overall more aggressive tone with more gain and brighter top and that classic mids scoop. The pedal stands well on its own but a transparent boosteroverdrive adds to its already monstrous tone. The rams head is ideal for Animals and Wall but a hint of mid range boost makes it incredibly versatile for any era. Personally I prefer the later violet rams head for a bit more gain.

Electro Harmonix Big Muff transistor and op amp 1. This late 7. 0s model was produced both as a transistor and op amp version.
