Plenty of sweet spots in these pots
Corgan'sSiamese Dreamtone was rarely a single full-range performance, but more commonly, the stacking of 5, 10, or 20 guitar parts at varying stages of gain and contour. The EHX Op-Amp Big Muff Pi affords limitless options for tone stacking, from hot snarling leads to plaintive, lingering pedal-point drones. A feature that Sweetwater reviewers particularly enjoyed was the tone bypass switch, which temporarily bypasses your settings for bursts of raw power.
