Hendrix and Big Muff?

10/4/2000 1:29 AM
Mike	Hendrix and Big Muff? Did Jimi Hendrix ever really use an Electro-Harmonix Big Muff? If not how can Electro-Harmonix get away with advertising that he did? The only pedals I've read that Hendrix used were a Fuzzface, Vox crybaby, Octavia, Uni-vibe and an Echoplex. I don't think he used a Big Muff, if he did no one has ever written anything about it, and none of his recordings sound anything like the sound of a Big Muff. I had never even seen a Big Muff in any music store until the early 70's, years after Jimi was gone. I just wondered if anyone knows anything about the Hendrix/Big Muff connection, or is it just an advertising scam?
