Topic: 77 – 78 OPAMP BIG MUFF’s
Well as you have probably heard EH made the Big Muff with opamps in place of transistors for a period in the 70’s (77&78;models) The opamp BMP was designed by Howard Davis, he designed a lot off cool effects for EHX and is now with pigtronics as their main designer. The 78 version comes with a tone bypass option which bypasses the tonestack and essentially allows you to have flat mids, it sounds pretty cool in bypass, kinda like you’ve tuned the treble and mids up a bit. The 77 version has an on/off switch.
The opamp Big Muff differs from the transistor version in so far as it has more of a crunchy sound, not as mid scooped and is overall a little bit clearer and not as “muffled” (I don’t really consider BMP’s to be muffled but you get the point)
Its still has the unmistakable Big Muff sound that we all love and expect form the BMP but its different enough than the transistor version to warrant owning both versions. The opamp muff is becoming harder to get these days and are being sold on ebay less frequently. Some people sell their vintage muffs on ebay listed as “a standard NYC big muff” unknowing that they have an opamp version so keep an eye out for that.
I’ll record and upload some clips later today of this muff variant.
Bottom line is, this pedal rocks so try to find one and I bet you all my EH pedals* you’ll love it.
*joke.
It sounds like it could possibly be the original Triangle Muff, because Mike said it’s exactly the same as the original Big Muff Pi but with the added tone wicker and tone bypass controls. But I could very well be wrong, it could be the latest NYC Big Muff and I’m just over analyzing each of Mike’s words. But that’s what I do.
I’m sure Fuzz, Mike, or Scott can answer that with actual knowledge and not just assumptions
Quote:Quote:E-H proto’s? are any of those now in production or are they TBA?Those were 10 of the “Dirty Dozen” prototypes that I brought to the “MusikMesse Frankfurt 2006”
for E-H as my freelance tribute to the motto “Heavy Metal Pedals”…obviously not heavy enough, they didn`t pass the test…
(some other designer`s circuit was taken for the “Metal Muff”).(I probably had listened to the Isley Brothers too much at that time,
and tried to get both the sound of “Who`s That Lady” and/or “Live It Up” into them…
it ended up as 12 variations on the theme, with different amounts of control-knobs 😆 )I got a metal muff (the medium sized one) a while back for bargain price on ebay….it’s has some kind of wierd mid harmonic thing going on that I’m not sure I like at all. It sounds good for real ‘metal’ but it’s pretty useless for anything else…..
it will probably end up back where it came from one day!!
I was hoping for just a regular high gain distortion….
Quote:I’ve heard J Mascis does this with his Big Muffs.my Rat collection pales into insignificance compared to J’s Big Muff collection…
(i don’t know how up to date this picture is…)
Quote:i posted this over at Harmony Central but some of the kids there didn’t appreciate it… 😥it seemed like a good idea at the time… didn’t it Simon?! :facepalm: 😆
i’ll take a ‘proper’ picture of my real boards (with EHX content) soon. :thumb:
the unmarked pedal is a GGG Rat, the Batman pedal is a BYOC Rat. :rawk:I don’t understand why people wouldn’t appreciate that. Clearly each have their differences (i even notice that the duplicate RAT 2 has an extra switch), and its good to be able to select between variations of the same distortion to suit different songs – I’ve heard J Mascis does this with his Big Muffs.
I find myself wanting to get a RAT lately, too
