    Hi folks,

    I was hoping to find out what part this ison my Little Big Muff Pi so I can replace it.
    On my circuit board this has completely fried and I can’t seem to find out what it is on the web.
    On the circuit board it has FB2 written next to it, searching on the web this made me guess it’s a capacitor?

    Would anyone be able to confirm this? I would also like to know the value of said component so I can replace it. I don’t want to chuck this baby in the bin!

    By the way, the circuit board reads: EC-D2 Rev. B, 2005.

    Thanks VERY much for any info!

    It’s a ferrite bead.

    Brilliant, that was a really quick response.
    Thanks!

    Would you know what the specifics/values are so I can replace it?

    Its not integral to the sound so you can just jumper it with a small piece of wire, your muff will still sound identical.

    Brilliant, it works!

    Thanks a million.

    Can someone tell me what this ferrite bead does in this circuit though?

    Thanks thanks thanks!

    Suppression of RF frequencies (keeps the radio out).
