About the Product
The EHX Metal Muff utilizes three powerful EQ bands, including a midrange control designed for perfect contouring and beautifully sculpted mids. The Metal Muff offers commanding bass and defined high end-coupled with user-controlled distortion from pinched-edge to totally crushing-making it a heavy metal gold mine.
The NYC original. Hendrix and Santana were among the first to get a piece of the Pi, and for over 40 years the EHX Big Muff Pi has been defining the sound of rock guitar. Revered by contemporary guitarists and rock legends for its rich, creamy, violin-like sustain, from Pink Floyd to The White Stripes, everyone still wants a piece of the Pi!
