Troy Sanders

Troy starts talking about his live pedals at 16:18, and he mentions his distortion pedal, the Wren and Cuff Tall Font Russian. He says, "My distortion of the month is made by a company called Wren and Cuff...It's modeled after the old Big Muffs."

This is Troy's signature pedal with Wren and Cuff. It is a Tall Font Russian with a foot-switch that adds an extra gain stage.

“It doesn’t get too high-end and cut through and make an unpleasant sound to the ears,” says Troy Sanders, who plays bass in Atlanta metal pioneers Mastodon. “It’s just the thickest, purest, roundest, warmest, most glorious bass distortion sound that I’ve ever had.” The Big Muff also holds a curious position in guitar history: It’s a gold standard as far as distortion pedals go, but it also serves as a barrier-breaker to get into other kinds of effects, too. “That is the gateway sonic drug that’s now got me addicted to pedals,” Sanders laughs. “I don’t blame myself, I blame the Big Muff. I blame the green, Russian-made Big Muff for all my problems and successes.”
