The Big Muff Pi Hardware Plugin is a new type of product which transcends the limitations of traditional DAW plugins to bring the unique qualities of analog sound to digital recording. Analog hardware has a magical warmth that's impossible to achieve with digital processing. That was the genesis behind this product. Take the world's most beloved harmonic distortion/sustainer and transform it into a plugin. It works like a standard DAW plugin, but recorded tracks go through the actual analog circuitry of EHX's Big Muff Pi. Of course, it integrates seamlessly with all the most popular DAWs like Pro Tools, Ableton Live, Cubase, GarageBand, Logic Pro X, Reaper and more. The Big Muff Pi Hardware Plugin can even be used as a stand-alone pedal and shares the circuit design of the legendary 1973 Violet Ram's Head Big Muff. That coveted pedal has been heard on countless classic recordings and famous solos. It's renowned for its unmistakable articulation and exceptional sustain, and now it's has been updated to be true stereo. It also features Tone Wicker, Tone Bypass and presets. Store up to ten footswitch-accessible presets on the pedal itself and as many as your computer can hold! The new Big Muff Pi Hardware Plugin can even function as a 2-in/2-out USB audio recording interface which enables the user to record with or without the Big Muff effect engaged. Not just for guitar players, the Big Muff Pi Hardware Plugin opens up the universe of real analog circuitry to all digital recording artists and computer musicians!
