Eye See ‘78 OG

Wren and Cuff’s Eye See ‘78 OG is based on the Big Box version of a classic V4 circuit Electro Harmonix Big Muff Pi.

They already make a standard-sized pedal version * of this circuit, but this new pink-coloured model is an update with vintage styling and looks.

It is based on the 1978 Op-Amp Big Muff circuit, called the V4 circuit and it has the added bonus of the V5 circuit’s tone bypass switch.

Billy Corgan

Billy Corgan of Smashing Pumpkins made this style of vintage Big Muff famous on the Siamese Dream album.

Therefore, Big Muff fans will be all over this modern-day recreation. Especially, as it features 100% through-hole components on a vintage-style circuit board and specially selected ICs for an authentic vintage Muff tone.

The heavy-duty folded steel enclosure will be nice and strong and it also features a true hard-wire bypass.

Sold Out?

Looks like they have sold out already, but keep your eye open, as more could potentially arrive in the future.

Or you could opt for the official EHX version for the Op-Amp Big Muff or the standard-sized Wren and Cuff model instead.

Thneed

Finally, we check out the Thneed by Supercool Pedals. This is a Klon-style overdrive pedal with a Dr Seuss-inspired graphic and name.

They are built in Canada and can currently be pre-ordered directly via their website. Plus, when you order one you can opt to plant a tree (the Lorax is watching you, so you better plant some trees), to help offset some of the ecological damage done by the likes of the Onceler family.

The Thneed pedal also adds benefits and options including four pairs of selectable clipping diodes for a wide range of drive sounds. Plus, a face-forward bass toggle (unless), internally selectable gain modes, and both True Bypass and Buffered Bypass options.
