Big Horn Fuzz

Big Horn Fuzz

The Electro-Harmonix Big Muff Pi (Ram's Head) is a classic fuzz/distortion pedal, originally produced in the mid-1970s. Renowned for its smooth, sustaining fuzz and pronounced mid-scoop, it delivers a thick, creamy tone favored by guitarists in genres ranging from classic rock to shoegaze. The Ram's Head variant is particularly prized for its slightly less aggressive, more articulate sound compared to other Big Muff versions, making it a sought-after choice for both lead and rhythm playing.
