EHX's Ram's Head gets a signature facelift

ELECTRO-HARMONIX J MASCIS RAM'S HEAD BIG MUFF

Fuzz is often the Marmite of the gain world; to those who love it, it's a mammoth sonic tool that can beef up your sound and enhance any riff. To those who hate it, it's written off as muddy and devoid of articulation. One person who is a fan though is Dinosaur Jr's, J Mascis. Having had an EHX Big Muff on his 'board throughout his career, his love for Big Muffs was displayed through his collection in the documentary Fuzz: The Sound That Revolutionized The World. J uses the Big Muff, specifically the 'Ram's Head' version of the pedal from the 70s as the basis for all of his drive sounds, sometimes solo, but often stacking them with other gain providers.
