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!

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

This review and comparison justify my switch from Nano Big Muff to OP Amp Big Muff. Great job!

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.

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

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 !!!.

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.

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?

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!

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.

Great sounding pedal, but extremely hard to use in a live context. It loses the bite. That's the problem with all the bigmuffs
@dagr8nico
@dagr8nico 5 лет назад
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!

In this demo, the OP Amp switch sounds better in the OFF position. It has fuzz without being too fuzzy.
@victorjbarker
@victorjbarker Год назад
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.

@johnnyandhiswolves 4 года назад
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.
@shannonb.4540
@shannonb.4540 6 лет назад
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.
@elvis_chen
@elvis_chen 6 лет назад
Billy says they layered up to 6 tracks for guitar.
@nickabraham8472
@nickabraham8472 6 лет назад
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
@wesleywhite9782
@wesleywhite9782 5 лет назад
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

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 👍
