December 7, 2008 at 7:59 pm #88656tubezipperModeratorAwesome that one has turned up on ebay
Not sure how much it will go up to.
December 7, 2008 at 8:17 pm #88663Ned FlandersModeratorI’d like to see the schematic for this, just to see how much it differs from the 2000 model NYC.

ah, I just read the auction…I wonder if that is just BS?
December 7, 2008 at 8:19 pm #88665nightravenMemberthese ones are supposed to be more fuzzy than the normal muffs

there was only 100 made for the promotion so I wouldn’t have thought they would make a whole different circuit…maybe they just had some different transistors or something?
yeah, hopefully someone from EHX will know,…..I wouldn’t mind the whole story, how it came about etc? did mogwai ask? or whatever…
December 7, 2008 at 8:39 pm #88669Ned FlandersModeratorIt wouldn’t surprise me if it was BS because we all know how much BS stories there are in the music world and about gear. But I also wouldn’t be surprised by EH changing a few things for a hundred pedals either.

I don’t know all the particulars of the Mogwai Pi, but my first guess is that it must have been a stock Muff with a custom screen (but I’m also happy to be corrected…).

Well I read that that muff was designed for the band mogwai and they needed a more intense muff so ehx made a limited run of those.
February 13, 2010 at 10:39 pm #107470lee-fiMemberI own a Mogwai Big Muff and it does sound more punchy than any other Big Muff ive played through,
To me it has a little more of everything like fuzz etc,i had the good fortune to record an album with
Jack Endino who produced Mudhoneys-superfuzzbigmuff album and he owned a couple of really vintage ones
and id say the Mogwai version was better in terms of ohmmmph/power it just cuts through more….thats my opinion anyways,
Im too embarrassed to say how much i paid for the Mogwai Muff but i could have bought several standard ones for the price (i was probably robbed) but what the heck:)February 13, 2010 at 11:01 pm #107471Ned FlandersModeratorIf you wanna find out if its different, take the knobs of,unscrew the pots and switch flip the PCB and take a good pic of it then we can tell you if its just a stock muff or not.

February 14, 2010 at 12:15 am #107477lee-fiMemberhey there ok ill get you some pics of the inerds so to speak lol its currently with my guitar guru fixer guy as the switch has got some issues,it seems it needs replacing the moment i get it back ill take some photos and send them your way,ive had it open myself when the switch problem first occured but i wouldnt know myself if theres any secret inside or if the difference is my imagination,i can hand on heart say to me it sounds different not like a different pedal completely its the big muff sound pushed just a little harder…..i will be picking it up this week so ill get you photos asap and maybe you can shed some light on the mystery of the mogwai muff the reason i found this thread was due to my switch issue i was hoping someone had some ideas as to how to fix it but my repair guy says it is simply the switch….me hopes,
nice to hear from you,speak soon,
lee
