INTRODUCTION
The Halo Distortion/Sustainer is a recreation of the Electro-Harmonix Big Muff Pi, first released in
1969. Originally marketed as a "harmonic distortion sustain", it has been lumped together with fuzz
effects, although it's a very different animal than classic fuzz effects like a Fuzz Face or a Tone Bender.
The Big Muff is something of a "rite of passage" for pedalbuilders. It's a pretty easy build and there
aren't a lot of things that can be messed up. There's no biasing or gain sorting, and no rare or specialized
parts are needed. It's endlessly tweakable, with dozens of different variants (some of which sound very
different) that are just a matter of substituting a few parts.
The Big Muff circuit was adapted by a number of other pedal manufacturers in the 1970s. Notably, the
4th version of the Colorsound Tone Bender, called the Supa Tone Bender and released in 1973, was
based on the Big Muff circuit. The next version of the Tone Bender, called the Jumbo Tone Bender and
released in 1976, changed the standard Big Muff circuit by removing the 4th transistor, a make-up gain
stage after the tone control. This 3-transistor variant was copied by other manufacturers as well.
The Halo PCB allows you to easily build either the 4-transistor or the 3-transistor variant.
USAGE
The Halo has the following controls:
• Sustain controls the amount of drive or distortion, which also affects the amount of sustain.
• Tone is a control that pans between a low-pass filter (high cut) and a high-pass filter (low cut). At the
12:00 position, the bass and treble are flat, and the midrange tone response is based on the setting
of the Mids switch.
• Volume is the overall output.
• Mids allows you to switch between Mid Scoop (the stock setting), Mid Hump, or Flat Mids.
