Das Wren and Cuff Tall Font Russian macht genau das, was es sagt, es ist eine perfekte Verbesserung des orginalen Tall Font Muff Sounds.

Beschreibung

I've spent many hours digging for some slight difference between a vintage pedal I love and one I'm building for one reason or another to be sure I could truly nail the sound. I've had my employees flat out saying, "Sorry man, I just can't hear a difference", then giving me the, man, this guy is crazy look. Why I mention this is to say that after all the muff type pedals built under my belt, The Tall Font Russian was the toughest pedal to nail.Why did I choose the Tall Font S****K version to recreate? After a conversation via email with an acquaintance who plays in a very successful band this quest began. In his words, after being asked about his affection for these pedals he said: Yet to find anything close. And (after) hearing a lot of players, rarely do I like their distorted/fuzz sounds. I really think there is a reason the s****ks are so collectable. I prefer the first series green ones with the screws on the side. The series after this had them on the top. I don't like the civil wars or any others besides the green ones. In a pinch, I'll use a screws on the top one, but it has to be green. I was curious why he didn't follow the standard, civil war muffs are the best Russian muffs belief. After some investigation I found that they're very, very, similar in tone, parts, and values. Very close. But to me, the highs are more present and clear in the Tall Fonts resulting in an openness in the highs unique to this pedal. They're generally not as dark sounding, which gives them a slight gritty edge not found in the war muffs. Some dislike this trait but to me there is a rudeness to them that sets the TF's apart from the C-War. As usual with our muff-type pedals, I found that transistor selection was very important. After removing the transistors from vintage units then testing the gains I found some inconsistencies between vintage units. After some obsessive listening tests I went with one particularly sweet sounding pedal and matched the gains as closely as possible using a mix of trannies. I also was surprised to find an important biasing resistor and a capacitor that were a much different value than stated on the components and schematic. Discovering this helped to find that sound I was looking for! One of my favorite traits is a "boxy" quality to the sound that was the toughest thing to reproduce. Wish I had a better way to describe it, but "boxy" is what it is to my ears. It almost sounded right, but I couldn't get a certain growl I heard on the vintage pedal and the boxy thing still wasn't quite right. Finally, I tested the pots and found the actual vs. stated pot values were over 30% "off" in some cases. IMO this inconsistancy is partly responsible for one unit sounding particularly sweet and another sounding so, so. In other words, those absolutely crappy pots created a happy accident. After custom tweaking those pots, I realized that this was one of the things responsible for keeping the low-mid range from getting to mucky and is also a factor in the more over-drive type quality these Russians can produce. I found the growl! The kooky values found can't be purchased as such so we have to mod each pedal's pots ourselves to get the desired values. As far as I know, we're the only company that goes as far as to modify the pots for a S****k clone. This boxy-growl also helps make them particularly great on bass, and fantastic for raunchy, less friendly guitar tones ala The Black Keys, White Stripes, Mars Volta, and many others seeking a nasty F-You snarl (not saying the afore mentioned bands use these exact pedals, just using their tones as a reference).
