Arahan Operasi

The Big Muff Pi features three control knobs and a footswitch for intuitive operation:

• Tombol VOLUME: This knob controls the overall output level of the pedal. Adjust it to balance the effect's volume with your bypassed signal or to boost your signal for solos.
• Tombol TONE: The Tone knob allows you to sweep between a range of treble and bass frequencies. Turning it clockwise increases treble, while turning it counter-clockwise increases bass, enabling you to dial in your desired tonal character.
• Tombol LESTARI: This knob controls the amount of sustain and distortion. Turning it clockwise increases the sustain and the intensity of the fuzz effect, providing a longer, more saturated tone.
• Suis kaki: Press the footswitch to engage or bypass the Big Muff Pi effect. When the effect is active, the red LED indicator light will illuminate.

Experiment with different settings of the Volume, Tone, and Sustain knobs to discover the wide array of classic fuzz and distortion sounds the Big Muff Pi can produce.
