25V Boost / Overdrive

The Wren and Cuff Two Five boost and overdrive pedal features a special circuit design with an internal charge pump for 25V operation with a standard 9V input. 25V opens things up considerably, creating an unusually wide dynamic range, more headroom, and more output. The response is super reactive, and the overall feel of the pedal is much different than a typical overdrive. It just feels powerful. The EQ section of the pedal is set up like the tone stacks on vintage amplifiers, which means that the controls are interactive in relation to one another. An example would be that turning down the treble will not only cut the higher frequencies, but also raise the lower frequencies a bit. This type of interaction opens up an almost endless palette of tones by adjusting the Lows, Mids, and Highs, as opposed to a simple high-pass / low-pass setup. The Voice switch allows you to configure the clipping section of the pedal in two different ways. With the Voice switch toggled down, there are two Mosfet transistors used as diodes, and a germanium diode as well used to create a super-rich, saturated gain. Flick the switch up, and two LEDs are used for the clipping. These LEDs have a much wider range of dynamics and lend to a more open, somewhat cleaner sound. The Two Five also provides a ton of output on tap, making it the perfect pedal to push the front-end of your amplifier or other drive pedals into natural overdrive and saturation.
