The BMWTW is fairly inexpensive. So what you get for the money, it is all good.
You can’t go wrong for $89.00 US….. True Bypass and Dangerous!

December 30, 2008 at 9:00 pm #89850Mr RadunzelMemberIm looking forward to getting this newfangled tone wicker as when i got my first NYC Big Muff ( i cry thinking about how beautiful it was rip) i was rather disapointed to hear that my mates cheaper russian one was somewhat more filthy.. so methinks this is a long awaited update!.. and gets a groove on with things, you dig??
almost wish.. wish i hadnt have got Freq analyser + bass muff first…
NAHH!
December 30, 2008 at 11:57 pm #89866Ned FlandersModeratorI got my BMPTW yesterday and I love it, I like it with the tone and wicker on, sustain on full tone around 1 o’clock, sounds real nice. The wicker is subtle yet it adds a high end clarity that sounds sick!
December 31, 2008 at 2:39 pm #89883BlueSteelParticipantHow much is the big muff pi with tone wicker? I looked on the Guitar Center website and they don’t have it on it yet.

December 31, 2008 at 5:20 pm #89888julianModeratorGuitar Center is notoriously bad at having new stuff in stock
December 31, 2008 at 5:28 pm #89889BlueSteelParticipantYeah, I have noticed that they are slow at getting stuff on their website. I think I might try Sam Ash next.
December 31, 2008 at 8:24 pm #89905Ned FlandersModeratorThey are $89.25!

January 14, 2009 at 2:03 am #90687MandolinMacMemberWOW! I finally got Muff with tone wicker, and it’s amazing. It took me awhile to get used to the tone switch (turn that volume DOWN), but now I really appreciate the fact that it’s there. I was surprised at how versatile the pedal is, too. There’s a nice range of distortion on it. I love you, EHX.
January 23, 2009 at 8:17 pm #91503The ability to get the Big Muff Pi sound is only one of the many sonic features that come with The Big Muff Pi with Tone Wicker. I have been fortunate to use and test this pedal during the design and post design phases.
The Wicker adds a nice top end shimmer. Yet, the ability to turn off and totally bypass the tone control presents a sound that is untouchable. Actually the sound is devastating. Straight in to straight out. This presents a different character that no Muff has ever had. A real crunch and edge definition that totally rocks. Not really a Big Muff tone that people recognize and actually quite different from the rest of the family. Total drive/Fuzz/distortion power but really controllable. Records great and gigging it is just a different beast.
This is the one feature that I love but having the ability for the Big Muff/Little Big Muff sound makes this pedal a total steal.
I love this box.
January 23, 2009 at 9:37 pm #91508Ned FlandersModeratorHey Rick, don’t forget the vintage muffs, specifically the 1978 opamp model and the 1981 3034 model had tone bypass. They have that same sound the wicker has in tone bypass mode.

Being here, I think that I have been able to go through every vintage Muff from the beginning on.
You are right about the early models that have a tone bypass. The difference is that the Wicker takes on an entirely different character with a much more organic and contemporary tone.
I love all of the Big Muff incarnations because they all stay true to the Big Muff tone. Pretty amazing actually. Yet the Wicker is just different.
I agree with everything you say and maybe it is me but the tone bypass is just an amazing punch and it keeps a uniform attitude no matter how soft or hard it is hit.
