This pedal is well known, a total classic. The world famous Big Muff Pi, made by Electro Harmonix. This is the most recent version, a total steal at $70.00, pretty amazing for a pedal made in NYC.
The pedal offers a smooth, slightly dark distortion/fuzz sound with a scooped mid, a fat bottom end, and a sweet high end. With the three knobs you can get a fairly wide variety of fuzz tones. With the tone at noon, the pedal is slightly darker than most, but the tone knob has enough range that you can dial in a bright enough sound with ease. Lower gain settings sound pretty awesome, the pedal sounds pretty distorted with the gain knob at noon, and with the gain knob dimed, you get massive sustain and tons of gain. There's so much written already about this pedal and all of the variations that I don't feel the need to write anything more. Buy it. A pedal collection without at least one Big Muff Pi is not complete.
