Electro-Harmonix Little Big Muff Distortion Pedal

No longer available at zZounds
Get all the smooth sustain of the legendary Big Muff pedal in a more compact package. This pedal will take you back to the tone of the '70s.

After extensive research into what made the 1970 Big Muff such a special and legendary pedal, Electro-Harmonix came up with an addition to its Big Muff family: The Little Big Muff.

Housed in a compact, die-cast box with smooth corners, The Little Big Muff presents the classic, true-to-heritage, 1970 tone that falls somewhere between the current U.S. Big Muff and the Russian Big Muff. Its long, silky smooth sustain proves that celebrated sound can indeed come in small packages.

With a familiar control layout and a pedigree you can trust, this little brother kicks total butt.

- True bypass
- Tough and compact die-cast chassis
- 9-volt battery included

I still have to try more distortion/fuzz pedals to know for sure.
Sound
Pretty amazing sound although when I turn the volume up on the pedal it will start crackling a bit while the note is playing. I think that might be due to the fact that I already have an 18V bass cranked to full. I still have to try it on my 9v bass, see how that handles it.
Features
For some odd reason, my volume and sustain knobs were reversed so instead of going from left to right sustain, tone, volume it goes volume,tone,sustain. doesnt effect the tone of the pedal though... at least to my knowledge. I havent tried any other LBM so I couldnt say for sure.
Ease of Use
pretty easy!! 3 knobs, 2 jacks and 1 stomp button...
Quality
built like a tank, as we like to say. really sturdy
Value
at 66 dollars, what more could you ask for?
Manufacturer Support
I just sent them off an email 5 mins ago so I cant say.
The Wow Factor
sound wasnt exactly what I expected but I grew to like it as I played it.
