2000 Electro-Harmonix Big Muff Pi V9 NYC
Your piece of the pi. 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.
In 2000 the first edition circuit board was marked EC3003 and used four 2N5088 transistors. Tone sucking when in bypass mode was a common complaint about EHX pedals, and the "true bypass" fad was beginning around this time, so a true bypass foot switch was added with the EC3003-A revised circuit board later that year. The component values appear to be a mix of a late 1970s V2 BMP, with a deeply mid-scooped tone section from one of the early V1 BMPs, and 390Ω emitter resistors in the clipping stages from a Sovtek BMP. The 3003-A revision from 2001 was basically the same. Previous USA Big Muffs used 1N4148 Silicon diodes, but EHX changed to 1N6263 Silicon Schottky diodes for the reissue in 2000. EHX changed back to 1N4148 diodes around 2008. 1N4148 compress the sound a bit more more, giving a sharper sound but with slightly less treble than 1N6263, partly contributing to the different sound of the reissues. This is example is from 2000.
This 2000 EHX NYC Big Muff is in excellent condition and is fully functional. There is light scratching and patina on the front of the enclosure. Original box and packaging is included.
