First Look: Electro-Harmonix J Mascis Signature Ram's Head Big Muff Pi

Electro-Harmonix J Mascis Signature Ram's Head Big Muff Pi Demo | First Look

An affordable signature Muff built for the "Wizard of Wail."


The J Mascis Ram’s Head Big Muff Pi produces the indulgent fuzz tone of equal parts thickness and clarity that J has utilized as his sonic center for decades. "That's my sound. The Muff is always on," J says. "All distorted sounds begin with the Muff. That's what I grew up playing so it's kind of amazing to have my own signature one."

The special edition pedal is housed in a die-cast chassis with a white and violet finish and includes true bypass switching, a 9V battery and the option of being powered by a 9V AC adapter.

Pays homage to the sonic center of the alt-rock legend’s iconic tone of equal parts thickness and clarity in a special edition white and violet finish.

Street price: $131.50
