    Hey! I just got this amazing vintage Electro-Harmonic Big Muff pedal at a thrift store very cheap. I had three questions about this neat pedal. (Photos attached)

    The first question is, what year is this pedal? The front says Made in NYC USA. I do not see any serial or model numbers anywhere on the pedal itself. The potentiometer has the following letters/numbers on it: P0150 and 1378005

    The second question is, do I need to replace any of the caps on this unit before turning it on for the first time?

    The third question is, where do I find replacement case screws for this pedal? This did pedal did not come with any screws.

    Thanks a lot!

    1980 V5 Op Amp model, turn it on and it either works or it doesn’t, you don’t need to replace anything if the pedal works and as for screws, 4-40 cross pan head.

    I’ve had my original rams head Big Muff Pi since the early ’70s and I haven’t had to replace anything but batteries since I first got it.After years of gigging and getting walked on and tripped and kicked over,the old relic still works like a dream and still can blast out authentic Hendrixesque tones.These old pedals are built like tanks and their components are just about indestructible.
