Big Muff Pi - why not?

Sure it's not perfect, but I really love the tone. Great bang for the buck. It's less compressed than many dirt boxes, and I like that about it. It sustains, but it's sort of open sounding, a little scooped. It reacts well to rolling down the guitar's volume knob - some interesting in-between tones there.

I like the pedal best with the sustain at about 9 o'clock and tone at about 3 o'clock. After good advice today on this forum, I discovered that if I run it through my green screamer OD, it tames brittle edges and sounds fantastic.

I've played many more expensive fuzzes, but a standard, $60 Russian RI Big Muff Pi has locked down its place in my rig.

Great, great pedal.
