Electro Harmonix Sovtek Deluxe Big Muff PI

Product information "Electro Harmonix Sovtek Deluxe Big Muff PI"

The legendary "Civil War" Big Muff (Civil War because of its grey and blue lettering like the uniforms in the American Civil War) from Russian production is a sought-after collector's item due to its special sound, which is traded at astronomical prices. Mike Mathews, mastermind and founder of Electro Harmonix, has revived the sought-after Sovtek Big Muff by popular demand and has given it the extensive modifications of the Deluxe Big Muff. The Sovtek version has a darker basic sound than the standard Big Muff, more gain and a distinctive mid-range. The deluxe Deluxe features include a noise gate, a semi-parametric mid-range EQ that can be activated as a second channel by foot if required, a connection for an expression pedal that can be used to control the mid-frequency pot for wah effects and the wicker circuit (for a more open, clearer distortion sound) of the Big Muff Tone Wicker.

About Electro Harmonix

Electro-Harmonix was founded in 1968 by Mike Matthews and is known for groundbreaking innovations in analogue audio signal processing, digital delay, digital sampling and polyphonic real-time processing. EHX effect pedals are used by professional and amateur guitarists, bassists, keyboard players, producers, studio engineers, DJs, vocalists and a wide variety of musicians and instrumentalists.
