Big Muff Sustainability

This is an early version of the popular ELK fuzz pedal, released in the mid-1970s as a Big Muff knockoff!

This model is modeled after the original BIG MUFF-π. In addition to this early model's "BIG MUFF SUSTAIN'A'R" designation, later models also feature "BIG MUFF SUSTAIN'E'R" lettering. Perhaps due to issues with the literal name, the model name was later changed to "SUPER FUZZ SUSTAINAR." Branding includes "ELK GAKKI CO.", "ELECTRO SOUND CO.", and unbranded (no mention). We've also carried many ELK fuzzes in the past, and while the sound varies greatly depending on the model, this one's sound is rough, yet the sound pressure and thickness are overwhelming compared to other models, providing a distortion with rich sustain. The tone control is a standard high-cut type. This model uses a 2SA564 transistor, but other models have also been tested, including the 2SC829, 2SA495, 2SA564, and 2SA733. This unit features a circuit board with parts arranged in a manner similar to the original, and is an extremely early model with no brand name printed on the case. This is a rare model that has become extremely difficult to obtain in recent years, so don't miss this opportunity to get your hands on one.
