Think you know the Big Muff? Try some of these ideas…

Welcome to the show. The classics are classic for good reason, so before we get lost in the world of mods and clones… how about we just listen to the OG?
Today’s pedal is the majestically entendreful EHX Big Muff, a stalwart in a surprisingly diverse range of musical genres for decades now.
We present some things you might know about how to use it, and hopefully a couple that you hadn’t thought of yet.

Yes, I know there's a typo in one of the screens. Welcome to Thta Pdeal Swoh.

Enjoy the episode!
