JOHN'S EQUIPMENT - THE FAMOUS 'BIG MUFF' PEDAL.
A Russian-made clone version of the famous Electro Harmonix 'Big Muff' distortion/sustain pedal. Famously a track title from 'One World' (though this maybe more inspired by a conversation with Lee Scratch Perry than the pedal) John also used the BM as part of Echoplex setup. With gaffer tape bearing handwritten 'JM'.
From a 1983 interview in 'Music UK'
"What's in there?" (the pedal board)
"A Big Muff fuzz (to which John dedicated his song Big Muff) which I'm using less and less, and a Gibson Maestro Boomerang (should come in handy on the Australian tour) which is wonderful. Its a volume/ wah pedal and it's a favourite. There's a Roland Chorus CE2 and a Mutron III which I love. It has a touch of octivide to it and it started life as the automatic wah-wah for clarinet, I think. "
