Get the Scoop on the J Mascis Big Muff https://www.ehx.com/blog/get-the-scoop-on-the-j-mascis-big-muff/ Mon, 23 Jan 2023 17:16:38 +0000 https://www.ehx.com/?p=197507

“The sonic footprint of the Big Muff is unmistakable; you’ve heard it thousands of times”

SonicScoop takes a close look at the EHX J Mascis Ram’s Head Big Muff Pi and put the pedal through its paces.

Dan Gluszak writes, “With the pedal zeroed out (all controls at 12 o’clock), I was immediately greeted with a warm, almost tube-like tone. With some light tweaking of both the Tone and Sustain knobs, which were rotated clockwise to about 3 o’clock, the quality of the overdrive emerged rich, thick, articulate (there’s that word)–and the breakup had a lush, almost creamy quality to it.”

Summing it up, Gluszak notes, “There aren’t many pedal manufacturers I trust the way I trust Electro-Harmonix. Not only are they always bringing new and exciting offerings to the table, but they are doing it with the same innovation and no-compromise ethos that they have become known for. Not to mention, their products don’t break the bank.”

“EHX offers a practical solution for players looking to add some synth sounds and a little orchestra grandeur to the pedalboard”

“The String9 String Ensemble is a guitar synth pedal that, as part of Electro-Harmonix’s 9 Series, assumes a form that should by now be familiar. As the name suggests, it packs nine different modes onto one pedal, each selected via rotary dial, and presents a reasonably compact and affordable way of turning your electric guitar sound into something else entirely – principally, strings and orchestration – without the need for any modding.

The String9 sounds so good you might consider whether you need the keyboard player after all. It offers cool string sounds, presents them practically, and while it won’t be an everyday pedal for many players, it is an inspiring tool for seeking out new sounds.”

Sweetwater Demos the EHX Big Muff Pi Hardware Plugin https://www.ehx.com/blog/sweetwater-demos-the-ehx-big-muff-pi-hardware-plugin/ Thu, 08 Dec 2022 15:35:18 +0000 https://www.ehx.com/?p=196786

This unprecedented take on the Big Muff is the perfect tool for adding a little — or a lot of — analog grit to digital workflows!

Mitch Gallagher is one of the leading music /pro audio /audio recording authorities in the world and Sweetwater’s Editorial Director. Mitch and the team at Sweetwater sat down with the EHX Big Muff Pi Hardware Plugin to put it through its paces and explore this unprecedented take on the iconic Electro-Harmonix Big Muff Pi.

“The pedal is a true-stereo 2-in/2-out stompbox based on the classic 1973 Violet Ram’s Head Big Muff. On its own, you can use it onstage or at home as a standard pedal, but plug it into your computer and you can seamlessly send tracks through analog fuzz circuitry then into a DAW, essentially giving you an analog plug-in that integrates easily with your favorite software. Finally, the Big Muff Pi Hardware Plug-in even functions as its own audio interface with USB functionality, direct monitoring, a headphone jack, and gain control with no other device needed for recording.”

The EHX Big Muff Pi Hardware Plugin is available at Sweetwater for $328.90.

STRING9 Encore https://www.ehx.com/blog/string9-encore/ Mon, 21 Nov 2022 17:01:41 +0000 https://www.ehx.com/?p=195746

“Electro-Harmonix adds another string to its bow with this versatile emulation pedal for lush synth and orchestral tones”

“This pedal is designed for a specialised job, and it does that job perfectly. While it’s handy if you need a substitute for a keyboard player, there are plenty of new textures on offer when you mix the strings proportionately with guitar.”
