The Electro Harmonix Rams Head Big Muff Pi presents a faithful recreation of the coveted 1973 Violet Rams Head distortion pedal. Except this time its revamped for the modern era. Delivering the vintage fuzz that made us fall in love with the original model the Rams Head offers a fierce cutting tone with plenty of articulation and definition. And you can trust that each note you play will ooze with irresistible sustain perfect for those rich melodic solos. But you can shape it any way you like. Thanks to a trio of precise tone controls players can sculpt their sound their way. So whether you need all-out chaotic distortion or a more subtle growl out of your playing – the Rams Head offers enough tonal capacity to satisfy any playing style. Whats more – the lightweight robust housing fits snug on your pedalboard with a highly-visible LED activation light making it tailored for darker stage environments. Relive the glory of the original Rams Head Big Muff.
Legendary sound for the modern stage Few distortion pedals hold the same iconic status as the Big Muff. And in particular – the 1973 Rams Head. Heard in countless recordings and live performances the Rams Head has been a favourite for a plethora of top-tier guitarists. Most notably David Gilmour. Why? Because it excels at producing sweet fuzz tones with immense clarity (can be heard all over Animals & The Wall). So naturally its recreation here remains faithful to the original design. Violet The early Big Muffs varied wildly as with each production run components changed so even with the same variants two models could sound radically different. Consistency was important with this recreation and so EHX focused on the Violet models distinguishable by their blue/purple typeface. These had less of a mid-scoop and slightly less gain than other V2s helping them be more expressive and open- hence why Gilmour favoured them. This smoother highly-articulate sound has been perfectly captured here and truly elevates your tone when engaged. Modern reliability Thats not to say that Electro Harmonix havent polished it for the modern stage. Featuring true bypass switching you can trust that your sound will remain consistent when running through the Rams Head. What this means is that you can slot it straight into your pedalboard and maintain your own personalised tone in performance. Its durable too. So you can take it with you wherever you go and have total peace-of-mind when setting up. But dont worry. It still flaunts its heritage with a stunningly vintage aesthetic as a nod to its original 73 style. It wouldnt be a Muff without it.
