The Electro-Harmonix Ram’s Head Big Muff has found its way onto the pedalboards of influential guitarists since the early to mid-’70s. Sonically, it’s a touch more articulate than a lot of Big Muffs, with a string separation that sets it apart from others that share its lineage. The Ram’s Head Big Muff has been updated with the pedalboard-friendly additions of a 9-volt input for power and an LED status light. Vintage Ram’s Head Muffs fetch a pretty penny on the secondary market, and guitarists at we are glad to have access to the classic V2 sound at a more reasonable price.David Gilmour used it to great effect on solos in the ’70s, and self-professed Big Muff connoisseur J Mascis used a Ram’s Head Big Muff to carve out his unique sound in the ’90s. The smooth-yet-aggressive response makes solos sing and chords roar, and it has made the Ram’s Head Big Muff a staple since its inception.
