You can win this Electro-harmonix Big Muff Pi With Tone Wicker as part of the Blue Noize solo contest!
This is a first for me as I’m demoing 2 pedals at once, well ok one of them isn’t actually a pedal, maybe that should have been 2 products at once… there that’s better. So first up is the Electro-harmonix Big Muff Pi with Tone Wicker for some crazy retro fuzz action and the second is the Sanyo Pedal Juice which I mentioned a little while ago on Guitar Noize and it is a rechargeable 9v power supply.
The Sanyo Pedal Juice is a clever invention because not only do you reap the benefits of using your pedals without the potential hum and noise from a mains power supply but you can daisy chain both of your DC outputs meaning you can power multiple medals at once. First thing I had to do was charge the Pedal Juice, this literally means just plugging it in to the mains with the supplied power cord and leaving it until the little LED goes from Red to Orange to Green and finally goes off, that means you are 100% charged and ready to go (roughly 3 hours). Ok so once you have it charged it is very simple to use, just plug in the attached cords and plug them into your pedal and switch the pedal juice on. If you are using a single Ananlog effect you will get about 50 hours from a charge, if like me you have a mixture of digital and analog effects on your board that draw all up hundreds of milliamps(mA) then you might only squeeze a couple of hours out of it between charges, but that is still plenty of time if you are gigging!
The Big Muff Pi with Tone Wicker is basically a hot rodded version of the original Big Muff Pi, I incorrectly assumed in my demo above that to create the sound of the original you flick both the Tone and the Wicker switches off, apologies I’ve never used an original, in fact you need the Tone switch On. The Wicker switch opens up three high frequency filters to add more clarity and crispness to the distortion. Switching off the Tone completely bypasses the Tone circuit altogether so make sure you check your volume first because it gives the output a massive volume boost compared to with the Tone circuit on. I have tried to show as many tonal possibilities as I could in the demo above so I hope you enjoy my fuzzing riffs!
