Electro-Harmonix Bass Big Muff

Clip of me noodling for awhile messing with knobs, I tried to stay 'on task' and worked through the switches positions in a very straight forward manner.

  • Not as much 'hair raising fuzz' available as a regular big muff.
  • Low End is great. The 'Normal' vs 'Bass Boost' seems like an EQ curve change. The 'Dry' setting introduces the clean tone at a fixed % of volume, you can then use the sustain knob to add 'emphasis' on different frequencies (that's how it feels to me anyway).
  • Dry Out is always dry (the 'dry' position switch is unrelated and is a poor labeling decision which only adds confusion, maybe 'blend' or 'clean mix' would have been better), Effect Out is clean when the pedal is off and whatever you dial in with the muff when it's turned on.
  • A great pedal for biamping
  • At < $80 they are going to sell a ton of these.

Geewiz! That's amazing. You've restored my faith in this monster.
