The Electro-Harmonix Big Muff Pi Hardware Plugin is an innovative new product that transcends the limitations of traditional DAW plugins — to bring the unique qualities of analogue sound to modern, digital recording. Analogue hardware has a magical "warmth" that is beloved for its sound and feel. That was the genesis behind this product. Take the world's most beloved harmonic distortion/sustainer, and transform it into a plugin!
Analogue in a Digital Domain
EHX's Big Muff Pi Hardware Plugin works like a standard DAW plugin, but recorded tracks go through the actual analogue circuitry of a Big Muff Pi — injecting warmth into your digital session. It integrates seamlessly with all of the most popular DAWs like Pro Tools, Ableton Live, Cubase, GarageBand, Logic Pro X, Reaper and more.
Simply connect the Big Muff to your DAW via USB, select a track, and open the plug-in window. Instead of software emulation, you have real clipping diodes, overdriving transistors, and nature itself colouring your sound. The analogue circuit is pushed over the edge and loses control. The sound you hear is the natural warmth of electromagnetic chaos!
Audio Interface & Pedal
The Big Muff Pi Hardware Plugin can even function as a 2-in/2-out USB audio recording interface, which allows you to record with or without the Big Muff effect engaged.
It can also be used as a standalone pedal and shares the circuit design of the legendary 1973 Violet Ram's Head Big Muff. That revered pedal has set the standard for musical distortion and has been heard on countless classic recordings. It's renowned for its unmistakable articulation and exceptional sustain, and now it has been updated to be true stereo. It features Tone Wicker, Tone Bypass and presets too. And with the ability to store up to ten footswitch-accessible presets on the pedal itself and as many as your computer can hold — it is truly a Big Muff Pi like no other!
It's Not Just For Guitarists!
Wailing solos. Crunchy rhythm. Fat drums. Thundering bass. Liven up just about any track or instrument in your mix. Not just for guitar players, the Big Muff Pi Hardware Plugin opens the universe of real analogue circuitry to all digital recording artists and computer musicians.
MIDI Functionality
The Big Muff Pi Hardware Plugin can be controlled via MIDI, without using the DAW plugin. Send the appropriate MIDI message from your computer using MIDI over USB, and the Big Muff Pi Hardware Plugin will adjust its parameters accordingly.
Please Note: MIDI control is disabled when the Big Muff Pi Hardware Plugin is connected to the plugin.
