Wren and Cuff Eye See Pi Fuzz

Wren And Cuff · pedal

The Wren and Cuff Eye See Pi is a hand-built recreation of the IC / op-amp Big Muff, the circuit that swapped the classic transistor gain stages for op-amps. Its clipping section is drastically different from a standard Muff, producing a monstrously woolly, crunchy and altogether more ballsy sound than the sweeter vintage transistor versions -- the voice Billy Corgan used across Smashing Pumpkins' Siamese Dream. It is aggressive and buzzy with a forward, growling midrange that cuts rather than scooping away, and it turns searing and almost Tone Bender-like as the treble is opened up. At high settings it delivers a sledgehammer wall of gritty harmonics and jet roar. Hand-built in Los Angeles.
