Big Muff Pi
Known as the NYC or Reissue Big Muff Pi,
even though technically it is not a reissue of any previous version.
Since the 1991 return to production of the Big Muff manufactured in
Russia,
E-H founder/owner Mike Matthews found that there was also a
demand for a true American made Big Muff.
E-H began working on a new USA
Muff in the Astor Place facility in Manhattan, New York.
Fran Blanche,
superb boutique pedal maker and founder of Frantone,
was a designer at E-H from January 1999 to the Summer of 2000.
She was
responsible for the design of the huge E-H tube burning and testing
machines, with J.C. Morrison,
and was also given the job as circuit
designer for the reissue New York Big Muff.
Fran spent a few months
building prototypes of variations on the classic Big Muff circuit
design, as well as some new Muff designs.
Mike Matthews and several
other E-H employees reviewed and tested these dozen or so different
prototypes.
One of those was chosen to be the new USA Big Muff, the
ninth version.
In 2000 the Big Muff returned to production once again in
New York,
now in Matthews' Long Island City facility (thanks to Fran Blanche for additional info).
GRAPHICS AND ENCLOSURE
- Version 9 used the same style folded sheet metal box and graphics as
the older USA version 3-6 Big Muffs. The silk screened graphics were
identical to the version 3-6 graphics with the ITC Poneer Big Muff font,
but the words TONE BYPASS were removed since there is now no tone
bypass switch, and (annoyingly) no on/off switch. A red LED light was
added to the upper left of the box top, and a door cover was added to
the back of the box to access the 9v battery - both firsts for a USA Big
Muff. All previous Muffs required the entire top of the enclosure to be
removed to access the battery. The AC adaptor jack remained from
previous versions, though it is positioned slightly farther away from
the AMPLIFIER jack than on versions 3-6. There were four rubber feet on
the bottom as on the V3-6 Muffs.
Designer: V9 first edition circuit redesign by E-H engineer Fran Blanche of Frantone effects, (based on the original Bob Myer circuit)
Circuit Variants: 4
Model Numbers: EC3003 (2000), EC3003A (2000), EC3003B (2007), EC3003C (2008)
Edition Versions: 4 - Component values changed for each
edition 1-4. Early first and second editions shipped with old style V3
knobs. Editions 3 and 4 feature true bypass
True Bypass: Early production was not true bypass, but after 2001 all USA Big Muffs were made true bypass
Power: Current draw approximately 3 mA.9V battery or
AC power jack. Jack is 1/8" (3.5mm) plug tip positive. This is reverse
polarity of typical pedals so use an E-H power supply or use a converter
adaptor like the 1 Spot C35 3.5mm Converter
Place of Manufacture: Assembled in Long Island City, New York, USA
Packaging: Wood box with red and black printing. Later production changed to a white corrugated cardboard box with same printing
