Ram Head
The D*A*M Ram Head is a fuzz pedal that captures the legendary tone of the classic 1970s Electro-Harmonix "Ram's Head" Big Muff Pi. This iconic distortion unit defined the sound of countless rock and metal tracks, with its thick, creamy fuzz that could go from a smooth, singing sustain to a raging wall of noise. What made the Ram's Head so special was its increased gain and expanded tonal range compared to earlier Big Muff models. The result was a more aggressive, dynamic sound that could cut through a dense mix without losing its rich, organic character. Guitarists like David Gilmour, Billy Corgan, and J Mascis used the Ram's Head to achieve their signature heavy, psychedelic tones. The D*A*M version pays meticulous homage to the original, with a circuit that replicates every nuance of that coveted vintage circuitry. But it also adds modern features that make the pedal more practical and pedalboard-friendly, like true bypass switching, a status LED, and a DC power jack. So you get all the classic fuzz magic, with the convenience and reliability of a contemporary effects unit. Whether you're chasing those iconic 70s fuzz tones or looking to add a versatile, high-gain distortion to your rig, the D*A*M Ram Head is a must-try. It's a perfect blend of vintage mojo and modern refinement, delivering the same awe-inspiring tones that have inspired generations of guitarists.
