Wren and Cuff Sonder
Wren And Cuff · pedal
The Wren and Cuff Sonder is a fully analog chorus and tremolo pedal with two independent channels that layer together for a wide range of modulation combinations. The chorus runs from a mellow, barely perceptible shimmer that adds subtle shading up into rich, first-generation analog chorus lushness as depth increases. The tremolo toggles between a smooth sine-wave pulse with warm, Fender amp style throb and a choppier, harder square-wave setting, indicated by a color-changing LED. Both effects exhibit chameleonic range and reward an adventurous approach to their controls. It suits players wanting vintage-flavored warble, surf and dream-pop textures, or both effects stacked for complex, evolving modulation in a single analog box.
