Triangle Big Muff Pi
Congratulations on your purchase of the Triangle Big Muff. It’s a faithful re-creation
of the original and dripping with vintage Electro-Harmonix DNA and tone. Dubbed the
Triangle Big Muff because of the layout of its Volume, Sustain and Tone controls, this
is the one that started it all circa 1969.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
VOLUME Control – Sets the output level
TONE Control – Provides a range of sounds from high treble to deep bass. As you
turn the knob clockwise the treble increases and bass decreases.
SUSTAIN Control – Adjusts the amount of sustain and distortion.
Footswitch & Status LED – Use the footswitch to toggle between effect and
bypass. The Triangle Big Muff is active when the LED is lit. When the LED is off, the
pedal is in true bypass mode.
IN Jack – Plug the output of your instrument or another effects pedal into the ¼”
input jack. The input impedance presented at this jack is 122kΩ.
OUT Jack – Connect the Triangle Big Muff’s ¼” OUT jack to the input of your
amplifier or another effects pedal. When the Triangle Big Muff is in bypass mode, the
OUT jack is connected directly to the IN jack. The output impedance is nominally
25kΩ.
POWER
Powering the Triangle Big Muff Pi
The Triangle Big Muff Pi may be powered from a 9V battery or an optional 9VDC AC
Adapter such as the EHX9.6DC-200 or any Boss
®
or Ibanez
®
style AC adapters
capable of delivering at least 30mA. Plug the output of the adapter into the 9V power
jack located at the top of the pedal. The battery may be left in or taken out when
using an AC Adapter. The current draw is approximately 2.2mA at 9VDC.
Please Note: Using the wrong adapter or a plug with the wrong polarity
may damage your Triangle Muff Pi and void the warranty.
Changing the Battery
To change the 9V battery, remove the 4 screws on the bottom of the Triangle Big
Muff Pi. Take off the bottom plate and change the battery. Avoid touching the circuit
board while the bottom plate is off. Replace the bottom plate and screws.
