NANO BASS BIG MUFF PI
Congratulations! You have just purchased the finest harmonic distortion-
sustain device for the electric bass guitar player, now in a smaller enclosure:
the Nano Bass Big Muff! Please review this manual to learn the unique
potential of this pedal.
The Nano Bass Big Muff draws its roots from the legendary Sovtek battle-
tank green Big Muff Pi manufactured in the ‘90s as well as from the original
Electro-Harmonix Big Muff Pi from the early ‘70s. These Big Muffs are often
employed by bass players to thicken up their sound or to give them over-
the-top low end growl. The Nano Bass Big Muff takes the best characteristics
from both of these classics and employs sonic elements that were specifically
designed for your bass.
-OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS-
SUSTAIN Knob — adjusts the amount of sustain and distortion.
TONE Knob — provides a range of sounds from high treble to deep bass. As
you turn the knob clockwise, treble increases and bass decreases.
VOL Knob — sets the output level of the distortion effect. When the toggle
switch is set to DRY, the volume knob has no effect on the output level of
the dry signal.
DRY Toggle Switch — when set to DRY mode, the original dry signal
present at the input jack is mixed with the output of the distortion circuit.
The level of the Dry signal is constant and will not change as you turn the
Volume knob up or down allowing you to set the level of the distortion effect
against your dry signal. Flip the DRY switch to the left, away from the DRY
label, to mute the dry signal; now you will hear only Big Muff distortion.
Footswitch & Status LED — When the LED is lit, the Nano Bass Big Muff
effect is active. When the LED is off, the Nano Bass Big Muff is in True
Bypass mode. The Footswitch toggles between effect and bypass modes.
