Wren and Cuff De La Riva BM20-Ultra Fuzz
Wren And Cuff · pedal
The Wren and Cuff De La Riva BM20-Ultra Fuzz is a highly configurable Big Muff-style fuzz built around 20 internal DIP switches, each offering two settings across nearly every stage of the circuit, plus three external toggles including a silicon/germanium transistor switch. Wren and Cuff states the DIP switches alone yield over a million possible configurations, growing to roughly 8 million with the toggles included. Without touching any switches it delivers familiar, low-noise Muff tones with strong presence. It is built for players who want to explore the full design space of the Big Muff circuit topology rather than a single fixed voicing.
