In Charge: Sano

When it comes to Electro-Harmonix, the BIG MUFF π is definitely the standout. I still vividly remember the thrill I felt the first time I played it. As a fuzz pedal enthusiast, I consider it one of the “Big Three” fuzz pedals—alongside the FUZZ FACE and TONE BENDER—and am pleased to introduce it to you all.The great thing about Electro-Harmonix is that even if a unit isn’t an original (vintage) model, it doesn’t lose any of its charm—you can still fully enjoy its unique sound character and personality. I believe it will satisfy a wide range of people, from first-time users to die-hard fans.

The History and Appeal of Electro-Harmonix

Individuality begins at your feet.
Since its founding in the 1960s, the company has weathered turbulent times—including bankruptcy and manufacturing in Russia—
and we explore the philosophy of Mike Matthews, who has consistently revolutionized the music scene, along with the evolution of his unique sound.

History | Tracing a Great Legacy | From the Early Days to the Present

Founded in New York in 1968 by Mike Matthews. From the very beginning, the company developed experimental and distinctive products; in particular, the blockbuster model “BIG MUFF π” achieved tremendous success as its signature creation. Compared to “MXR,” which focused on high-end, premium quality, Electro-Harmonix’s affordable and highly distinctive models were said to be popular among young people at the time.

Appeal | Why does Electro-Harmonix
continue to captivate musicians?

Each Electro-Harmonix model is crafted from a unique philosophy designed to stimulate artists’ creativity, and all possess a distinct character that is instantly recognizable upon first listen. The brand has enjoyed overwhelming support from avant-garde artists seeking to assert their individuality, both in the past and today.

Features | This Is the True Essence of the Electro-Harmonix
Sound

A sound with a uniqueness you won’t find anywhere else. This is truly the essence of the Electro-Harmonix sound. Simply press a switch at your feet, and that becomes your signature sound. The lineup is full of models like this.

How to Choose | From Your First Pedal to a Carefully Selected Masterpiece

If you’re looking for a fuzz pedal, I recommend the BIG MUFF π. You can fully appreciate its sound even with later reissues—not just vintage models—and compact pedal-sized versions are now available as part of the nano series.If you explore models like the SMALL CLONE (chorus), which Kurt Cobain loved, or the HOLY GRAiL (reverb), favored by John Fruscian, your range of sound-shaping possibilities will expand dramatically.
