Wren and Cuff Box of War OG
Wren And Cuff · pedal
The Wren and Cuff OG Box of War is the original version of the Los Angeles builder's recreation of the coveted Sovtek 'Civil War' Big Muff of the early 1990s. It is one of the creamiest-sounding Russian Muff clones available: thick, warm and woolly with a slightly darker overall voice and a fuzzier feel than the tall-font Muffs, plus the distinctive midrange presence and note clarity that lets a Civil War circuit cut through a mix instead of disappearing into it. Three controls -- Volume, Distortion and Tone -- keep it simple, and it resolves the reliability problems that plagued original Russian units. The enclosure borrows the wedge shape of the Univox Super-Fuzz, shrunk to a far more board-friendly footprint. True bypass, hand-built.
