Up for sale is a rare Frantone-era Electro-Harmonix V9 Big Muff fuzz box in great condition!In the late 1990s, Electro-Harmonix recruited Fran Blanche to work on a US-made reissue of the Big Muff. The new unit was launched in 2000, and featured a EC3003 circuit board and Dakaware knobs. This particular pedal is from the very first run of 2000s Big Muffs, and sounds unreal. Ships with original box, instruction manual, EHX catalogue and sticker.We ship worldwide from Brisbane, Australia. The default rate in the listing is for tracked shipping through Australia Post, however DHL and Fedex are available at buyers' cost. Please get in touch for more information!—From Kitrae:Nicknamed the Classic NYC (New York City) Big Muff Pi. Early on it was referred to as the 'NYC Reissue Big Muff Pi', even though technically it was not a reissue of any previous version. Since the 1991 return to production of the Big Muff manufactured in Russia, E-H founder/owner Mike Matthews found that there was also a demand for the return of a USA Big Muff. EHX began working on the reissue in the Astor Place facility in Manhattan, New York. Fran Blanche, superb boutique pedal maker and founder of Frantone, was given the job revising the circuit for the reissue. She worked for EHX from January 1999 to the Summer of 2000 and was responsible, along with J.C. Morrison, for the design of the huge EHX tube burning and testing machines.Fran spent a few months building prototypes of variations on the classic Big Muff circuit design, as well as some new versions of the circuit. Mike Matthews and several other E-H employees reviewed and tested these dozen or so different prototypes. One of the classic version prototypes was chosen to be the new USA Big Muff. The circuit architecture is essentially the same as the original Bob Myers BMP design, only with a new set of component values. This was nothing new in the history of the Big Muff, as there were literally dozens of different variants of the circuit made throughout the 1970s. It was continually revised. In 2000 the Big Muff returned to production once again in New York, now in Matthews' Long Island City facility (thanks to Fran Blanche for additional info).
