Wren and Cuff White Elk Small Foot Fuzz
Wren And Cuff · pedal
The Wren and Cuff White Elk Small Foot Fuzz recreates the rare 1970s Elk Super Fuzz Sustainar, a pedal originally discovered and popularized by Wata and Takeshi of the Japanese noise-rock band Boris. Wren and Cuff built the pedal in 2013 at a Japanese distributor's request before it later reached wider US release. It has an uneven, rumbling low end, a tone control voiced with more midrange than most Muff-style fuzzes, and a distinctive snarl reviewers describe as somewhere between a Tone Bender and a wooly Big Muff. The Small Foot version works on both guitar and bass, keeping clarity and low-end definition even under heavy drive.
