Box of War

Recreation of the Russian Civil War-era Sovtek Big Muff Pi from the early-to-mid 1990s. Standard Big Muff 4-transistor topology tuned for the creamy, less mid-scooped character that defined the Civil War variants.

Volume, Tone, and Distortion controls. Creamier and less mid-scooped than typical Big Muffs, with thick wooly low end and a pronounced midrange growl. Lower gain than standard Muff circuits gives more breathing room and dynamic response.

The Civil War Big Muff is one of the most sought-after variants, associated with David Gilmour and Thurston Moore. Super heavy duty folded steel enclosure, true hardwire bypass, 5mA draw, 5.7 x 3.6 x 1.7 inches, 1.34 lbs.
