Electro Harmonix Big Muff USA Review

Sound Quality

This thing has more fuzz and grit than you will ever need! It has three knobs on it, Volume: adjusts the pedals volume obviously, Tone: this alters the brightness of the sound from very treble heavy to very muddy sounding and bass heavy, the final knob is distortion: which obviously adjusts the amount of fuzz. I have the distortion set hard left (the lowest setting). As I'm using it for a low fi fuzz effect and even then its a bit too much for some stuff. However the fuzz does sound great and with so much distortion on tap its pretty versatile.

Build Quality

This thing is pretty sturdy, the metal casing does seem a bit thin though but I'm pretty sure it'll take a hefty bashing before it breaks.

Defects Upon Purchase

Nope, none at all

Additional Comments

The main problem I have with this pedal is that it doesn't run off a normal 3mm pin so you have to buy a special power supply for it and can't run it off a power brick. Otherwise its a great pedal with tones of versatility and as much fuzz as you will ever need.
