Vintage EH Big Muff Pi pedal in excellent cosmetic condition and perfect working order.
Version 6 with the EH3034 heralded a return to the classic transistor Big Muff sound after the Op-Amp Big Muffs - the pot codes are 1981 making this little beauty over 30 years old. It's in amazing cosmetic condition for its age and sounds as good as a vintage Muff should.
It has a few minor scuffs and scratches but it looks incredibly good for a effect pedal that's been around over a quarter of a century, it's built like a tank - made in USA - and it sounds fantastic. Sonically the V6 is similar to the V3 Big Muff - the classic Muff sound, but is very ballsy - more mid-scoop and bigger bottom maybe - the Tone Bypass option (bypasses the tone circuit - not 'true bypass') is good for more aggressive, raw-sounding fuzz; there's bags of sustain and gain to be had.
At some point in its life it may have had a new battery connector, but apart from that it looks to be in original untouched condition. It can be powered by the supplied new Duracell Procell 9v battery or EH power supply (not included and untested with psu).
These vintage units do sound far superior to the reissues in our opinion: this just oozes class and filth - try it on guitars, bass, keys - it makes synths sound incredible...
This is a vintage pedal in good working order: please do not expect modern digital-era perfection.

"Excellent equipment, wonderful service. I fully recommend Soundgas to anyone in the vintage gear market and I will definitely be a return customer. The gear itself was exactly as advertised and in great condition."

“I’ve bought a number of items from Soundgas recently, and have been really impressed with their service. It takes the stress out of buying vintage gear to know it’s been properly (and faithfully) serviced or restored. Their after-sales service has also been exemplary. Highly recommended.”

“Imagine the perfect eBay.... with everything you never knew you wanted… and you can rest assured that your vintage and rare wobbly sound device will turn up on time and in one piece and possibly in even better condition that when it left the workshop. Soundgas - literally amazing."
