From Archives to Stage: The Return of a Bob Myer Idea
Behind the Big Muff Pi 2 lies an unusual story: a handwritten schematic by Bob Myer, longtime collaborator of Mike Matthews (Electro-Harmonix), set aside in the late 1970s and rediscovered decades later. Driven by Josh Scott and artist Daniel Danger, the circuit was decoded and resurrected to offer a new voice to the Big Muff family, blending vintage heritage with a modern op-amp approach.For Whom, Which Styles, and Uses?
Ideal for alternative rock, grunge, shoegaze, stoner, doom, or post-rock guitarists, the Pi 2 delivers singing sustain and dense layers. It excels for leads that cut through the mix, massive riffs, and ambient textures. Perfect for live and studio settings, it integrates easily on a pedalboard, typically placed before modulation and delay effects, and pairs very well with a boost or overdrive upstream.Technical specifications

Questions frequently asked
What kind of sound does this op-amp fuzz deliver?
Thanks to its op-amp circuit, the pedal produces a sharp attack, tight lows, and a biting upper midrange. The compressed sustain allows for massive riffs as well as dense fuzz layers.
What power supply is required for the Big Muff Pi 2?
The required power supply is a 9 V DC source with negative center, while power consumption is not provided by the manufacturer.
Does the footswitch allow for momentary activation?
The footswitch offers a momentary hold mode to trigger fuzz stabs. It also supports a standard latching operation to turn the effect on or off. The signal path is bypassed when the pedal is off.
For which styles and guitar is this pedal best suited?
Designed for electric guitar, this pedal is aimed particularly at alternative rock, grunge, shoegaze, stoner, doom, and post-rock genres. It is typically placed before modulation and delay pedals on a pedalboard.
What controls are available on the pedal?
The three knobs VOL, TONE, and SUSTAIN adjust output level, tone, and sustain intensity respectively. The input and output use 6.35 mm jacks.
