Professor’s Notes

The Green Russian Big Muff Pi revives the ’90s Sovtek-era Muff with its fat low end, gritty mids, and smooth sustain. It’s a faithful reissue of a cult classic, delivering vintage Russian fuzz tones in a rugged, compact enclosure at a fraction of the price of originals.

Description

The Electro-Harmonix Green Russian Big Muff Pi Distortion/Sustainer is a reissue of the legendary 1990s Sovtek “Green Tank” Big Muff, long prized for its distinctive tone. Compared to other Muff variants, the Green Russian is known for:

• Thick low end that’s ideal for bass or down-tuned guitars.
• Gritty, mid-forward voice that helps it cut through a mix.
• Smooth sustain that makes it equally at home for leads or heavy rhythm work.

With simple Volume, Tone, and Sustain controls, the pedal stays true to the straightforward design of the original. Updates include true bypass switching and a pedalboard-friendly chassis, ensuring modern reliability while preserving its vintage voice.

Original Green Russian units are now collectible and command high prices on the used market. This reissue captures the same character and power in an affordable, gig-ready pedal that works for guitarists and bassists alike.
