Electro Harmonix Big Muff Pi -V5 ( 1979)
Produced and sold in tandem with the V4 Op-Amp predecessor, the fifth rendition of the Big Muff series featured the same op-amp circuitry as the fourth with the addition of a tone bypass. The tone bypass allowed for a flatter equalization, more pronounced distortion, and slight decibel boost.
