Derrick1642607670 Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 Found me a 70's Bigg Muff Pi This little guy (not so little actually) sounds great! http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t7/derrickw710/bigmuff3.jpg http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t7/derrickw710/bigmuff2.jpg http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t7/derrickw710/bigmuff1.jpg It sounds great the only two problems I have is 1. This thing is a giant, not a pedalboards best friend (good thing I dont use pedals or pedalboards) 2. Not the common 9 volt adapter most boss pedals use Mucho cheaper than buying one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WornNeck Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 I think it's still 9v dc, only it uses a straight mini-plug. That's a nice find! Looks like it's in great shape, too.

Derrick1642607670 Posted March 18, 2007 Author Share Posted March 18, 2007 yeah thats the only piece of equipment he still had Im not sure what guitar he played but I know he had gotten a twin reverb fender amp for 250$ with brand new caps and tubes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bejeeber Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 ...This thing is a giant... Yeah those original models were HONKERS! :grin: Just a pinch between the geek and chum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Fraser Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 I think it's still 9v dc, only it uses a straight mini-plug. That's a nice find! Looks like it's in great shape, too. I'm pretty sure they're 18 volts. My 70's era Electric Mistress is an 18 volt model. The knobs on this one look newer than the 70's model.

bennyguitfiddle Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 It's 9v. I have one. It's one of my fav's. the only problem I have is the push button. It's a 6 pin DPDT switch and mine always goes bad. I might just be punk rockin' it and stomping to hard. Nice find you'll love it. Why do you lay down? I say that it beats standing up! whats got you feeling so down? I hold up my empty cup! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Geoff Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 I had an original Electric Mistress - it was 18V. G.

Strategery Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 You lucky devil!! Yeah, the old pedals were huge. I used to have a Mutron Bi-phase back then. It sounded great but was a Hoss!! :grin: What does your uncle think about the music scene nowdays? Randy "Just play!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derrick1642607670 Posted March 19, 2007 Author Share Posted March 19, 2007 Last time I saw some of his cd's I saw Mc Hammer (lol), Lenny Kravitz, and some clapton. Im pretty sure these are the original knobs for this box, I looked at the recent models which do have the sleeker knobs but maybe if someone else has an orignal model here maybe they can verify that.

The Geoff Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 The knobs on my 70s EM were different - rounder at the top. G.

Dr. Ellwood Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 Yep they where different. I had a early 70's issue and I remember there was only the aluminum case and light blue/green painted areas. The knobs where like Geoff said rounder on top and just very different looking. http://www.thestringnetwork.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derrick1642607670 Posted March 20, 2007 Author Share Posted March 20, 2007 My uncle is probably late 40's or early 50's Im pretty sure it was new he said somehow his grandparents got ahold of one from some friends when he started guitar (college) and Im pretty sure he was in college in the 70's era.

The Geoff Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 That'd be approx. right, although I suspect that version was later rather than earlier. G.
