Description
Before the Ram’s Head, before the Civil War, there was this: the original triangle-layout Big Muff that put Electro-Harmonix on the map. This reissue goes back to the circa-1969 circuit and rebuilds it faithfully rather than reinterpreting it, so the sustain still blooms like a bowed string and the fuzz still thickens without turning to mush. It’s named for the triangular arrangement of its Volume, Sustain and Tone knobs, a layout quirk that’s now as iconic as the tone itself.
EHX founder Mike Matthews brought this one back for the company’s 50th Anniversary (1968-2018), reasoning that the pedal EHX is most famous for deserved a proper tribute to where it all began. Original V1 units now fetch hundreds of dollars on the used market; this reissue gets you the same creamy, singing sustain at a price that won’t require selling a guitar.
On a pedalboard, this is the fuzz you reach for when you want saturation with musicality still intact – stack it after a compressor for smoother pick attack, or run it into a clean amp and let the sustain do the singing on lead lines. The die-cast chassis keeps it road-ready while staying compact enough for boards where real estate is tight.
