Electro-Harmonix Big Muff Pi 2 Dual OPAMP Analogue Fuzz / Distortion / Sustainer Pedal

Dual Op-Amp Fuzz with Rawer Edge and Momentary Burst

The Electro-Harmonix Big Muff Pi 2 Dual OPAMP is an analogue fuzz, distortion and sustainer pedal built around a unique dual op-amp circuit. This design produces a slightly less refined clipping texture compared to traditional Big Muff circuits, resulting in a fuzz character that feels rawer and more immediate. The pedal delivers singing sustain, booming low end and a crisp top end that cuts through dense mixes. Increased harmonic content and a more dynamic response make pick attack feel more reactive, especially at medium gain settings.

The familiar Volume, Tone and Sustain controls provide straightforward shaping. Sustain increases distortion and compression from gritty drive to saturated fuzz. The Tone control sweeps from deep, bass-heavy thunder to brighter, raspier textures by increasing treble while reducing bass. The analogue circuit keeps the signal path simple and direct for consistent response.

A silent true bypass footswitch supports both latching and momentary operation, allowing either standard on/off use or quick bursts of fuzz by holding the switch. Housed in a compact nano chassis and powered by a 9V battery or optional adaptor, the pedal integrates easily into modern pedalboards.

At Riffs & Licks Music, we think the Big Muff Pi 2 is ideal for players who love classic Big Muff sustain but want a slightly edgier, more dynamic fuzz response with the added creative flexibility of momentary switching.
