The circuitry of the new Op-Amp Big Muff —sometimes also referred to as the IC or V4 Big Muff— has been faithfully re-created while several practical enhancements have been added including a compact, die-cast chassis and true bypass switching.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“The Op-Amp Big Muff was popularized by the brilliant Billy Corgan who first used it on the Smashing Pumpkins’ epic 1993 album \u003cem\u003eSiamese Dream\u003c\/em\u003e. After he was videotaped playing and talking about the reissue, Billy stated: ‘The magic’s still in the box, I can still get what I’m looking for!’” - Mike Matthews\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe pedal relies on op-amps rather than transistors and three gain stages rather than four, to create its signature sound. It’s a sound that’s been described by noted Big Muff collector and historian, Kit Rae, as: “a huge, crushing Big Muff sound with more crunch… great for grungy, wall-of-sound distortion, heavy rhythm playing and heavy leads.”","brand":"Electro-Harmonix","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43310132887670,"sku":"87584","price":96.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0683\/5742\/3222\/files\/media_448cff02-b830-4926-b20f-8ecfd775e7d8.jpg?v=1779898304","url":"https:\/\/www.georgesmusic.com\/products\/electro-harmonix-op-amp-big-muff-distortion-sustainer","provider":"George's Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
