Witches have been a prevalent figure throughout history, especially in folklore, mythology, and literature. The concept of witches dates back to ancient civilizations, where they were often associated with magical powers and the supernatural. In ancient Greece, for example, witches were believed to possess the ability to cast spells and manipulate the elements. During the medieval period, witches became a significant part of European culture, particularly due to the widespread fear and persecution of witchcraft. The infamous witch trials, such as the Salem witch trials in colonial America, resulted in the execution of numerous individuals accused of practicing witchcraft. These trials were often fueled by superstition, religious zealotry, and the belief in the demonic influence of witches.
The present version (III) offers also a Muff / Bender toggle switch.

Plan-9 Ram's Head Si
The Plan-9 Rams Head Si recreates one of the first Big Muff Pi editions, known as the "Violet Rams Head". It´s know for its superior sound when compared to the current US and Russian versions.
The present version (III) offers also a Muff / Bender toggle switch.
We just performed mods that doesn´t affect the original tones. Beyond the toggle switch Bender/Muff, the Plan-9 Rams Head has protection against polarity inversion, RF blocking, noise filter, led and true bypass.
As the original BMP, the Plan-9 Rams Head is powered by four matched BC239 silicon transistors and four matched 1N914 silicon diodes.
- Sustain: controls the fuzz and sustain intensity
- Volume: limits the output signal intensity
- Tone: controls the amount of high, medium and bass tones.
- Muff / Bender toggle switch: alternates between the Rams Head tones and Supa Tone Bender style tones. Note that we say "Supa Tone Bender style tones". That´s because the Bender switch doesn't achieve, rigorously speaking, a perfect Supa Tone Bender sound, as the Plan-9 Rams Head transistors are BC239 and not the ones used in the vintage Supa Tone Bender. However the tones are quite similar.
- True bypass 3PDT footswitch.
- External power supply jack and internal 9V battery snap.
- Hand wired circuit with off board mounting of jacks, switches and pots.
- Four selected BC239 transistors.
- 4 matched 1N914 diodes.
- Circuit protection against battery polarity inversion, radio interference and on/off noise
- Constanta potentiometers, big and tough, vintage style made in Brazil (eventually we can use CTS or Alpha).
- Fender witch hat knobs
- Heavy duty metal box with electrostatic painting.
- Detailed Operation Manual.

Reviews for "The Witches of Macbeth: Analyzing Shakespeare's Portrayal of Witchcraft"
1. Sarah - 2/5 - I was really looking forward to reading "Witches throughout History" as I have always been intrigued by the subject. However, I was greatly disappointed with this book. The author seemed to jump from one topic to another without providing sufficient details or explanations. The writing style was also quite dull and lacked any real insight into the history of witches. I found myself struggling to get through each chapter and eventually gave up halfway through the book. Overall, I would not recommend this book to anyone seeking a comprehensive exploration of witches throughout history.
2. John - 1/5 - "Witches throughout History" was a complete waste of my time and money. The content was poorly organized and there were numerous factual errors throughout the book. It felt more like a compilation of random facts about witches rather than a coherent historical account. Additionally, the writing style was dry and lacked any engaging narrative. I found myself bored and uninterested in the subject matter, which is unfortunate as I initially had high hopes for this book. I would advise others to steer clear of this book if they are looking for an accurate and engaging exploration of witches throughout history.
3. Emily - 3/5 - While "Witches throughout History" had some interesting information about witches, I found the overall presentation to be lacking. The book lacked a clear structure and organization, and I often found myself confused as to how certain topics were related. Additionally, the writing style was average at best and did not do justice to the intriguing subject matter. I believe this book had the potential to be much better with a stronger editing and writing approach. I would only recommend this book to those with a casual interest in witches who are willing to overlook its flaws.
