Description

The Big Muff began circulating around 1969. The first model, broadly speaking, is affectionately known as the "Triangle" Muff, due to the arrangement of its knobs. Its slightly smaller body compared to later models gives it the appearance of being the starting point of the Big Muff's history.

This is a circa 1970s model featuring a PCB (printed circuit board) and a power ON/OFF switch. The casing shows signs of use, including scratches, giving it a nice vintage feel. The rubber on the back panel has been neatly removed. The control knobs and casing screws have been replaced.

The unit is equipped with three 2N5133 transistors, one of which has been replaced. Two other damaged capacitors have also been replaced, with additional components added to the solder joints. The power switch has also been replaced with a new one.

While the tone control is subtle, this unit boasts the thick, rich low end and rough yet deep distortion sound characteristic of early Triangle models. Even within the thick, saturated fuzz tone, the sound retains its definition, making it ideal for lead playing with its long sustain, and it exudes an overwhelming presence when strumming chords. This is a unit that makes a powerful statement all on its own.

Parts replaced: 1 transistor, 2 capacitors, casing mounting screws. Accessories: None.

*Turning the power switch OFF when not in use will reduce the consumption of the 9V battery.
