Wren and Cuff Elephant Skin – Troy Sanders Signature Fuzz

Beschreibung

For most bass players, Troy Sanders of Mastodon needs no introduction. His angular riffs, thick rhythms, and massive tone have been a constant over the span of Mastodon’s existence. When it comes to his distortion, his weapon of choice since 2010 has been the Wren and Cuff Tall Font Russian – a precise recreation of the first green Tall Font Muff pedals with hand-selected components and specially modified pots for an authentic sound. Troy Sanders likes a simple and effective rig so he can concentrate on the important things, like playing his instrument and carrying the vocals as the band’s singer. The Wren and Cuff Elephant Skin Troy Sanders Signature Fuzz is a simple but perfect pedal for his needs: A Tall Font Russian, no mods needed, with a foot-switch that adds an extra gain stage when things need to go ‘to eleven’. The added gain stage can be used independently, for a slightly gritty clean-boost, or used to smash the Tall Font Side with even more wallop, allowing the XT volume to be used to vary the extra grind. The lows have an overdriven compression that keeps things tight, and the highs have a rich upper-harmonic content. The mids have the standard Muff-scoop but it is not as pronounced as some of the other generations. For many bass players (as well as guitar players), this may be the only tool they’ll ever need.
