A Yellow Big Muff ???

☟

So last week a new (to me) and mysterious pedal popped up on Instagram. Supposedly it's a Chilean-made Big Muff copy. But other than that, we got nothing! 

The Big Muff Super Distortion seems to be from the late 70s/early 80s, and possibly an op-amp copy? It's a bit hard to tell from the back of the board, but that's my best guess! 

I don't know, what do you think? Leave a comment if you have a better idea of what circuit this could be, or when you think it was released.

I remember the first time I had seen a Sekova Big Muff, and it instantly became the ONE I had to find... And for how rare those are, finding one of these feels like it's going to be near impossible.

So now I have a new quest! And after really digging into the vintage pedal scene of South America last year, I'm realizing that it's truly the last frontier...

At some point in the future a trip needs to happen. Soooooooooo, who's with me!!! Let's find some magical Muffs and equator-rusted Tone Benders.

And as I always seem to end these types of posts, if you have any additional info on the Big Muff Super Distortion, or happen to own one yourself, please message me via Email or Instagram.

Thanks for reading!
