Product Detail
Did you know? The 1991 Sovtek “Civil War” Big Muff, named for its blue - gray chassis, shared the same circuit as the “Tall Font Green Russian” Big Muff and our EHX Green Russian Big Muff. The new Sovtek Deluxe Big Muff takes that big, wooly sound to the next level. It combines the Sovtek signature sound with advanced controls from the Deluxe Big Muff in a single, integrated pedal. You'll get a devastating low end, crisp highs, and non - scooped mids. We've kept the familiar Sustain, Tone, and Volume knobs and added lots of extras for deep sound shaping. Here are its key features: 1. MIDS EQ: A parametric section with selectable center frequency (310Hz - 5.0kHz), level control (up to 10dB boost/cut), and a high/low Q switch. 2. FOOTSWITCH for MIDS EQ: A dedicated on/off switch with status LED. 3. GATE: Removes unwanted hiss and hum. 4. BLEND: Mixes dry and distorted signals, great for bass players. 5. WICKER: Switch up for more attack; switch down for the traditional Green Russian sound. 6. EXPRESSION PEDAL INPUT: Creates wah - wah and cocked wah effects. 7. TRUE BYPASS: Keeps signal integrity in bypass mode. 8. INTERNAL INPUT BUFFER SWITCH: Increases high - end content. 9. MIDS EQ TRIM POTS: Three internal pots for adjustment.
Using the Electro - Harmonix SOVTEK Deluxe Big Muff PI Pedal is easy. First, connect your guitar or bass to the input of the pedal and the output to your amplifier. Use the Sustain, Tone, and Volume knobs to get your basic sound. The MIDS EQ gives you more control over the mid - range frequencies. You can turn it on and off with the dedicated footswitch. The GATE helps reduce unwanted noise, so keep it on if you're getting hiss or hum. The BLEND control is handy for mixing your clean and distorted signals, especially if you're a bass player. For a more aggressive attack, switch the WICKER up; switch it down for the classic Green Russian sound. If you have an expression pedal, connect it to the INPUT to create cool wah - wah effects. When not in use, make sure to turn off the pedal to save power. Keep it in a dry place and avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures. If you need to adjust the internal settings, use a small screwdriver for the trim pots, but be careful as these are delicate adjustments.
