Bass fuzz done perfectly.

After a slight bit of dissatisfaction with my reissue Green Russian Big Muff, I decided to pull the trigger on this thing. What a good idea that was. The people at Wren and Cuff really understand that making a good bass distortion isn't simply about letting low-end through and that it is equally about how well the effect is able to handle the low fundamental as well. I'm pretty speechless, this thing is flawless as far as I can tell. The top end of the pedal is much smoother and creamier than a standard EHX muff and makes the sound so pleasing to the ear. Skip the old Russian muffs, and the new one. Get this.
