$629.00

The original Electro-Harmonix Green Russian Big Muff Pi, produced in the 1990s in Russia by Sovtek (a subsidiary of Electro-Harmonix), is a legendary fuzz pedal known for its heavy, gritty tone and durability. It became iconic for both bassists and guitarists due to its thick, smooth fuzz and strong low-end response. Here are the details about the original:

Historical Overview

  • Era: 1990s
  • Manufacturer: Sovtek (Electro-Harmonix subsidiary) in Russia
  • Nickname: Commonly referred to as the “Green Russian” due to its distinctive green military-style casing.

Circuit and Tone

  • Circuit Design: A variation of the classic Big Muff circuit but with subtle modifications that create a distinctive, aggressive sound with a tighter low end and less pronounced mids.
  • Tone Profile: Thick, woolly, and bass-heavy with a slightly scooped mid-range, making it perfect for both bassists and guitarists who want a massive, sludgy sound. It offers rich sustain and a gritty texture that stands out in mixes.

Build and Design

  • Casing: Heavy-duty green metal enclosure, inspired by Russian military equipment—rugged and built to withstand heavy use.
  • Size: Larger than most modern pedals, giving it a vintage, industrial feel.
  • Switches and Controls: Basic layout with three controls (Volume, Tone, Sustain) and a footswitch for activation.

Power

  • Power Options: 9V battery only; no power adapter jack like modern pedals.

Legacy

  • Cult Following: Due to its unique tone and the limited number of units produced, the original Green Russian Big Muff has become a sought-after pedal among collectors and musicians. It’s particularly beloved in stoner rock, grunge, and heavy music genres for its massive, fuzzy sound.
  • Reissues: Due to its popularity, Electro-Harmonix released a smaller, modern version of the Green Russian Big Muff, designed to replicate the original tone while fitting in a more pedalboard-friendly package.

The original Green Russian Big Muff remains iconic for its rugged design, powerful fuzz, and vintage appeal.
