Electro-Harmonix Triangle Big Muff Pi Distortion / Sustainer Pedal

What is the Electro-Harmonix Triangle Big Muff Reissued Fuzz Pedal?
The Electro-Harmonix Triangle Big Muff Reissued Fuzz Pedal is a modern recreation of the original "triangle" Big Muff fuzz that helped define the sound of rock in the '70s. Known for its creamy, violin-like sustain and rich, musical tone, the Big Muff became a staple for guitarists such as Santana, Steve Howe, and Robert Fripp. This reissue captures the essence of that iconic sound, offering musicians a chance to incorporate the legendary fuzz tones into their own rig at an affordable price. With simple controls for Volume, Tone, and Sustain, the Triangle Big Muff provides a straightforward approach to creating a wide array of fuzz sounds that can range from dark and brooding to bright and punchy.

Classic Tone from the Late '60s Circuit
The Electro-Harmonix Triangle Big Muff is an accurate reproduction of the classic late '60s circuit, delivering the unmistakable fuzz tones that made the original model famous. From its signature sustain to its highly musical clipping, this pedal nails the sound that revolutionized guitar tones across genres. Whether you are looking for that iconic fuzz sound or experimenting with new tones, the Triangle Big Muff offers a versatile range that works equally well for vintage tones and modern fuzz explorations. The tone-shaping controls, especially the Tone knob, provide the flexibility to adjust the pedal’s response, making it an essential tool for guitarists who want to tap into the roots of fuzz sound.

Wide Range of Tones with Simple Controls
The simplicity of the Electro-Harmonix Triangle Big Muff’s three controls — Volume, Tone, and Sustain — allows you to fine-tune your fuzz sound easily. The Tone knob is particularly noteworthy for its ability to shape your signal from dark and thick to bright and sharp. Turning the knob fully counterclockwise results in a deep, brooding fuzz, perfect for mellow or heavy tones. On the other hand, turning the knob fully clockwise produces a focused, thin fuzz that cuts through the mix with clarity. The Sustain knob adds layers of smooth, violin-like sustain, making it easy to achieve both subtle warmth or soaring, long-decaying notes. These simple yet effective controls put the power to sculpt your perfect fuzz tone directly in your hands.

Durable and Compact Design for Easy Use
Despite being a faithful re-creation of the original pedal, the Electro-Harmonix Triangle Big Muff is housed in a compact, nano-sized die-cast chassis, making it more durable and road-ready than ever. Whether you're performing live or recording in the studio, this pedal's sturdy build ensures it can handle the demands of daily use without compromising on tone quality. The small size of the pedal makes it a perfect fit for any pedalboard, allowing you to add iconic fuzz to your setup without taking up too much space. Plus, the LED status indicator ensures you always know when the effect is engaged, providing a simple and efficient performance experience.

True Bypass Switching for Clean Tone
The Triangle Big Muff is equipped with true bypass switching, meaning that when the pedal is not engaged, your signal remains completely unaffected, keeping your tone clean and uncolored. This feature ensures that you won’t lose any tonal integrity when the fuzz is off, giving you the flexibility to switch between your pure guitar sound and the Big Muff's powerful fuzz with ease. Whether you’re using it as your main effect or adding it to a collection of pedals, the true bypass switching guarantees a seamless transition and pristine tone when you don’t need the fuzz.

Power Options for Flexibility
The Electro-Harmonix Triangle Big Muff is powered by a 9-volt battery or an external power supply (sold separately), offering flexibility depending on your setup. Whether you're looking for the convenience of battery-powered portability or prefer to use an external adapter for long-term studio or live performances, this pedal can adapt to your needs. The battery-powered option ensures that you’re always ready to go, even when you’re away from an outlet, while the external power supply provides reliable, continuous power for extensive use.
