Big Mud Violet Rams Head
The Tym Guitars Big Mud Violet Rams Head is a captivating fuzz pedal that transports you back to the golden age of vintage guitar tone. Handcrafted with meticulous attention to detail, this pedal is a lovingly crafted clone of a legendary '73/'74 sustain/fuzz unit, affectionately nicknamed the "Violet Rams Head" by many players. What sets this pedal apart is its use of rare NOS "tin can" BC108 transistors, which imbue the sound with a mesmerizing "fizzle" in the top end. The circuit is primarily based on the classic "version 2 Violet" design, but Tym Guitars has added their own unique twist, resulting in a full-bodied fuzz with a less pronounced mid scoop and more output than some of its peers. The harmonics on this pedal are simply captivating, with a character that's slightly less gain-heavy than later models and reissues, but still packing a powerful punch. The mids are more pronounced, giving your tone a commanding presence that cuts through the mix with authority. Housed in a handmade stainless steel enclosure, the Big Mud Violet Rams Head is built to withstand the rigors of the stage, while offering modern conveniences like true bypass switching, LED indicators, and Boss-compatible power supply compatibility. No batteries required – just plug in and get lost in a world of glorious, vintage-inspired fuzz.
