2 Introduction & Usage
INTRODUCTION
The Cygnus Distortion/Sustainer is adapted from the Pete Cornish P-2 and G-2, two Big Muff-based
pedals that share a PCB but with several part differences to distinguish them.
Cornish pedals are probably best known for being extremely expensive. There are two reasons for this.
First, the build quality and reliability is unmatched. Second, the mysterious nature of them, partially
due to the fact that the circuit is obscured and partially because of the A-list of clients. (The P-2 was
originally designed for David Gilmour, while the G-2 was developed with Lou Reed.)
Inside, the circuit is a basic Big Muff with a few changes such as a simplified hi-cut tone control and
the famous class-A transistor buffer design. The P-2 is similar to a Ram's Head Muff, while the G-2 was
designed to be much lower gain with a drastically different EQ as well as germanium clipping diodes. In
fact, until the G-2 it was traced in 2009, people had no idea it was a Muff derivative. The P-2 was
by Aion FX in
2023.
The Cygnus is a faithful reproduction of the G-2 and P-2 circuits, and the parts list includes both
variants. The default is the P-2 circuit, while each G-2 change is listed in the "Notes" column.
We've made one major addition in our project: an internal switch allowing the pedal to be used in true-
bypass mode instead of buffered bypass. As with the Klon KTR, the buffer mode is "almost always
better", but you can be the judge of that.
USAGE
The Cygnus has the following controls:
• Sustain controls the signal level going into the first clipping stage, which affects the amount of drive
or sustain.
• Tone is a basic high-cut filter.
• Volume is the overall output.
