Caprid Blue Violet
The Wren and Cuff Caprid Blue-Violet Special is a boutique distortion and fuzz pedal that meticulously recreates the legendary "violet-era" Ram's Head Muffer from the mid-1970s. Handcrafted in Los Angeles, this pedal features a period-correct 3003-style circuit board and a heavy-duty folded steel enclosure. To achieve its signature tone, it utilizes three hand-selected orange-dot transistors and one violet-dot transistor, combined with 1/2-watt carbon composition resistors and high-quality capacitors. Sonically, the Blue-Violet Caprid offers a more aggressive and saturated profile compared to the original Caprid OG. It is celebrated for its "violin-like" sustain, earthy lows, and a rich top end that features the iconic Muff mid-scoop. While providing thick, massive fuzz at high gain, it maintains exceptional clarity and airspace, making it highly responsive to player dynamics. The pedal includes a true hard-wired bypass and an on/off slide switch, serving as a premium tool for capturing vintage Pink Floyd-inspired tones.
