Electro Harmonix OP Amp Big Muff (with Nano Big Muff Comparison) - Review & Demo
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 кві 2018
- Sam gets his Cherub Rock on with the new Electro Harmonix Op-Amp Big Muff Pi 2017 Reissue pedal. This is the iconic sound of the Smashing Pumpkins in one pedal!
Check out the Electro Harmonix Op-Amp Big Muff over at PMT online today: bit.ly/OpAmpMuff
Until today, getting the sound of the Smashing Pumpkins has been nothing but a Siamese Dream! Even though the team at Electro Harmonix have produced a series of coveted Big Muff fuzz pedals, the sound of the 1970s big muff has been something tone purists have always wanted to get their hands on. Until today, an original 70s op amp big muff would cost a small fortune! Getting hold of Billy Corgan’s sound is now within reach!
Fortunately, the team at EHX and Billy Corgan himself, have effectively recreated the sound of the original op amp Big MuFF Pi by producing a faithful recreation of that classic sound by utilising op-amps (operational amplifiers) rather than transistors and loading it with three gain stages rather than four. This means you get a more aggressive and biting style fuzz from your Big Muff, which is completely noticeable - especially when you listen to our comparison!
If you want to get the sound of Siamese dream, this is the pedal you’ve been looking for. Now you can play Cherub Rock, Rocket, Today and all the Smashing Pumpkins hits with the fuzz pedal personally designed and approved by Billy Corgan himself.
Even if you’re not a pumpkins fan, you’ll love the aggressive and dynamic sounds of this true bypass fuzz pedal with the ability to bypass the Tone, giving you more options!

Pumpkin Pi!
I’ve had my op amp for a few months now and I love it. The Smashing Pumpkins are what got me into playing guitar again regularly after a pretty long break. Fantastic band and a great little pedal
The side by side was incredibly useful and helpful. I’m no fan of Smashing Pumpkins, but for my purposes, the Big Muff Pi seems reasonably useful, whereas the Nano Big Muff sounds muffled and almost useless by comparison. Thanks!
I loved my NYC big muff but it always seemed lacking and muffled so I ignored it, on a whim I looked up this one to see if I liked it and you're right that side by side showed me exactly what I needed to see.
This review and comparison justify my switch from Nano Big Muff to OP Amp Big Muff. Great job!
Received my Big Muff from you guys a couple of days ago and it sounds so amazing - really phat, gritty distortion.
big muff with tone wicker is my fave, I actually sold my "78" big muff original and kept the wicker version. I would also like to say that the "joyo voodoo octave" is fantastic for the money. the thing about fuzz is that it's generally a harsh animal, so the rougher it sounds...the better it sounds. the "boss fz5" is also worth checking because you get 3 fuzz pedals in one pedal, but I find it a bit "classy" and polished !!!.
Thanks Nic! I bet that 78 Big Muff sounded sweet! -Lee
PMTVUK ...twas good, but the wicker does the job as well,and I made out like a bandit when I sold my original,so it was an easy choice.
God damn that Pumpkin Pi is joy to my ears...
Quiet! I am sleeping.
J/K
Love this.
Then eat some mayonnaise while riding on an ice cream truck rocket over Luna today! 😎🤘🏼🎸
A sound engineers dream... Lol I'm getting one! 😁
S.W. Best me too
This might be overly-nitpicky, but op-amps contain transistors, so it's more accurate to say "op-amps vs. discreet transistors". The transistor count, gain stage count, and complexity increased tremendously, but that's all hidden within the op-amp IC in a "black box" sort of way.
I bought one of these from your Birmingham store! It plays really great dude
Have to stack it with eq, overdrive, booster to nail pumpkin sound
I have the little big muff pi. A main staple of my distorted time basically a Proco rat through a little big muff Pi through a boss GE 7. Been trying to get rid of the Rat. But I need it for my muff to cut through. But I bought an op amp reissue which will be here today. I can't wait I think it's going to give me that op amp cut through I need. Very stoked can't wait. Good demo dude
So how did the big muff Op-Amp with out on your board?
I wonder if the “I Shall Be Free” quote that is on the circuitry is a reference to Rocket by the Smashing Pumpkins.
Yes it is
Or the bob dylan song. Took me a woman late last night i was three fourths drunk she looked alright
Swoosh. Captain obvious. The card in the box says your slice of pumpkin pie or something like that if remember correctly
@@victorjbarker ok we already got it captain sarcasm
I'd like to hear these two pedals together. Like through 2 Marshall's and double track them.
"James Eye-Haw" hahahaha
Get this pedal, you can get bright fizzy notes or gut wrenching fuzz. I stick an OCD in front of it and it is an utter animal, more Fu Manchu than Smashing Pumpkins with the overdrive engaged. An absolute bargain too so no excuse to release your inner Billy!
Dig the way you compare nano and pumpkin!!
James "Eye-Ha." Never heard that pronunciation.
Great sounding pedal, but extremely hard to use in a live context. It loses the bite.
That's the problem with all the bigmuffs
I got this as soon as they hit the market just because Billy Corgan endorsed it and I love The Pumpkins sound. I'm not a huge fan of the fuzz sound... any of them (fuzz face, Big Muff, Fz-5 etc.). But if you have an OD that cleans up nice put it in front of this and you can get that bite you're looking for. I have a Keeley Oxblood that I use as a clean boost/tone shaper and this is after it and OHHHH it bites live!
🤓Try the "DOUBLE MUFF" 2me the best distortion box ever made !!!!!
Boost the Big muff with TS9 overdrive.
The other big muffs suffer from this bit worse except the tone wicker big muff
Great video! Thanks a lot!
Put a Marshall behind this pedal and demo it.
great presentation!
Yes,! This is the demo I bin looking for. That side by side thing. I never heard of smashing bumpkins. I have No interest in them and what they have accomplished. I do like the OP AMP box better. Nice buzz. I'm in Canada and I will be getting this little orange box this week. Thanks for helping me narrow this down.
@Rutiger did you end up getting this pedal? And do/did you like it? I'm in Canada too.
Op amp by a mile, I'm having one
Suggested Cherub rock dial level settings ?
Is it good for Stoner ?
Maybe it's me, but I don't find this pedal really sounds that much like Siamese Dream. The tone on the album is way more thick and warm sounding, where as this pedal is rather bright and aggressive. That's probably because Corgan did multiple guitar tracks, and there was probably a good amount of EQing and filtering on the album. To me the Nano and the Russian Muff get closer to that tone.
Billy says they layered up to 6 tracks for guitar.
It also depends on the amp you’re playing through. This video has it thru a Blackstar HT amp, which I owned and can say it was not a great pedal platform. This would sound better through a cleaner fender or Marshall plexi
yea a black star isn't the best amp to demo this. Corgan used jcm 800's in this era. he used to also run ts9 with the gain all all the way down and the volume dimed to push it
@letourneautism Most definitely. I was linked to this one after watching that one.
Having one through a marshall sounds pretty close to my ear, I play one through a fender and it gets some great tones dude
PMT you charged me 90 pounds for this pedal here in Cardiff last month yet the price on the PMT website is cheaper than that!? The same happened with the player Jaguar I bought. I paid like 700 I think when your website price again is much lower.. you’d think the website prices would be the same as in store?
In this demo, the OP Amp switch sounds better in the OFF position. It has fuzz without being too fuzzy.
FYI, the switch is not switching the app amp on and off It's turning the tone control circuit on and off the op amp cannot be turned off because it's what's actually doing the work inside the pedal. This pedal uses a single operational amplifier integrated circuit or IC chip instead of multiple transistors amplifier gain stages like all other big muff pedals. The close proximity of the word app amp to the switch has confused a lot of people the app amp is meant to be a descriptor of the big muff pedal itself It's a big muff amp but has nothing to do with the switch. If you look into it more the original V4 and V5 Big Muff OP AMP version pedals also had the switch to bypass the tone circuit but it was mounted on the top panel near the power input jack.
Min 4:06 I am looking for that sound pal!!
Why are you playing something from Gish? That was pre-big muff.
Why do you like the tone so low?
With humbuckers ??
What about the double muff?? do you like it people?
Personally i prefer the Triple Big Muff Deluxe with Cheese
and a large soda
Korg?
Sounds great...the Pumpkins connection was almost enough to turn me off it...might have to grab one.
Dude, it's James "Iha" [ihɑ], his Japanese last name "井葉".
Great demo anyway!
Elvis Ask James Iha if he attended some Bukake party in Japan lol!
i've noticed a lot of people in the UK do this stuff with the letter I... it's like they can't pronounce it with an e sound
really hits if you watch a lot of top gear, every time a prius or nissan was mentioned
In general we have rules about how vowels are pronounced governed by the other letters present in the word. Unlike Americans who just hit and hope without any consistency.
Hilarious that you are suggesting the English don't speak English "properly"
cool video
As soon as I hear cherub rock being played, i'm out. yup there it is
Or out after leaving a comment?
Is this analog?
Yes
I can't get mine to sound like that
its about pickups....
Late Loop I have Invaders
Star Lord That’s your problem, your pickups are so hot and naturally compressed, they’re over powering the pedal. Same reason Billy started using his low input channel instead of the high.
Idk if you got a bad nano muff, but mine sounds way better than that one.
Op Amp by a mile...
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 master !!!!! 🇦🇷
I shall be free! Well, $92. But still...
The Op-Amp is much more Rat-Like
I’m glad I didn’t by the op amp version. If it truly is an accurate reproduction of the original I understand now why it wasn’t popular first time round, not a fan of the smashing pumpkins either. I wasn’t hearing any sounds out of the op amp version that I would want to use.
Good demo though 👍
0:01 "Hoy Goys!" aaaand I'm out.
Crap total Crap . Have the 1977 Big Muff and No Comparison !
