EHX Triangle Big Muff Pi Reissue

[BearBoy]

Another Big Muff reissue from EHX:

We have reissued the original Version 1 Big Muff and it’s dripping with vintage Electro-Harmonix DNA and tone. Dubbed the Triangle Big Muff because of the layout of its Volume, Sustain and Tone controls, this is the one that started it all. The new Triangle Big Muff is a faithful re-creation of the original circa 1969 circuit now housed in a pedalboard friendly, die-cast chassis.

Electro-Harmonix founder, Mike Matthews, says: “The Big Muff Pi is the pedal we are best known for so I wanted to commemorate EHX’s 50th Anniversary (1968-2018) by re-releasing V1, the very first Big Muff. Original pedals are now selling for hundreds of dollars and this reissue absolutely nails that creamy, violin-like sustain and musical tone at a price a working musician can afford.”

The Triangle Big Muff features the following nods to convenience: an LED to indicate effect status, true bypass switching and the option of being powered by a 9-volt AC adapter.

I like the look of this and onto my ‘must buy soon’ list it goes

I got the green Russian one they released a while back and it is excellent.

They follow the trend of downsizing units that were originally big.

Come on Boss, MOAR COMPACTS

They follow the trend of downsizing units that were originally way too big.

I corrected that.

I think that some really big and clunky pedals had their legitimation, like the Musitronics pedals or others with a built-in power supply (Electric Mistress). Some EHX pedals had an XXXL sized case and a battery compartment only. And a small circuit board that had easily fit in a compact sized pedal.

I can confirm that the recent Green Russian BMP reissue they did was pretty faithful to the originals (of which I have owned quite a few).
So if that's anything to go by this reissue is probably worth scooping up if you've always wanted a Triangle Muff but never wanted to fork out the sometimes $1000+ they sell for...

I really like the Floyd tones at the start. Think this is on the list....

The size of a NYC Muff is one of my favourite things about it. Super impractical, but completely unmistakable.

Yeah, you cannot even miss it if you have the same shoe size as the Statue of Liberty.
