Silicon Fuzz

With the edge of a tight silicon fuzz, and some custom filtering to warm it all up, the Wren and Cuff Your Face 70's is all that's loved about the classic round fuzz pedals from the 70's, with some added tweaks to smooth things over. Wren and Cuff took two hand-matched BC108 silicon transistors selected for specific gains, super-quiet metal film resistors, and add smoothing capacitors to tame spiky highs and eliminate squealing at higher volumes, and that's only the start. Many musicians love the round original pedals for their sound, but most of them don't like the traditional low output. Wren and Cuff fixed that and the Your Face 70's Silicon Fuzz offers the unique vintage sound and in addition, all the volume you could ever want or need. Another problem with the vintage units is the way that the Fuzz knob is only useful at the last end of the knob, so Wren and Cuff added a reverse-log potentiometer that widens that range and let's you dial things in just right. They also used Mullard 'tropical fish' out-cap with increased value to allow more lows to come through. The adjustable Low-Cut control can be used to reduce some of the low-end squash, this is a simple but fantastic mod that gives an incredible amount of versatility.
