Overdrive, distortion & fuzz effect pedal
WREN AND CUFF Blue-Violet Caprid Small Foot pedal is a smaller, more pedalboard-friendly version of Blue Violet Caprid OG, which is based on the famed "violet-era" Ram's Head Muffer.
The Blue-Violet Caprid Small Foot contains three hand-selected orange-dot transistors and a single violet-dot transistor, each selected for the best gain range to create the perfect muff-tone. All component values are matched to the Big Box OG Blue Violet. If you like rich, violin-like sustain with a slightly aggressive edge, then you've got the right pedal!
Does it sound the same? It sounds very close to the OG Blue. Since it doesn't have the same big 'ole 1/2-watt carbon-comp resistors, 3003 open layout, and exact caps (but same values), it's never going to be identical. That's what makes the big box pedals in our line so special ! However, to most people, the sound differences will be quite subtle, especially when you factor in that the hand-matched transistors are identical.
A bit about this reproduction... During the early to mid-'70s when the original BM pedals were made, EH made a couple of changes to the art. They changed the famous square "Ram's Head" logo to a round shape and switched to a one-color graphics layout on the front, perhaps to save a bit of money since two-color graphics were most likely a bit more expensive to make. These came in blue, black, red, and violet colors over stainless steel, some more rare than others.
