The passive '''"Big Muff tone control"''', originating from [[Electro-Harmonix]]'s ''[[Big Muff Pi]]'' has become a popular circuit building block, mainly due to its simplicity and versatility.

== Standard circuit ==
The standard BMtc circuit doesn't have a flat frequency response in its "neutral" position. This is how the frequency response it looks when the potentiometer's centered.

== AMZ tone control ==
This improved version of the BMtc offers a second potentiometer, "Body", which controls the depth of the mid frequency notch, effectively achieving an almost linear response.
