The Big Muff Pi, in its different incarnations, is probably Electro-Harmonix's most popular product. This four-transistor fuzzbox is one of the first high-gain distortion units on the market. Its characteristic dirty, harmonically rich distortion tone, combined with its reliability and accessible price have made it greatly popular. It is also the origin of the Big Muff tone control.
