From Wren and Cuff: To start with, you’ll notice some text descriptors on the front of your new pedal that might seem a little odd. To help make sense out of it all, I thought I’d give an explanation of what they mean. It all started with a restoration. In late 2020, I received an email from a customer named G. Smith inquiring about our restoration service. Mr. Smith had a very rare 1972 “triangle knob” B-Muff that wasn’t working. He wished to bring it back to its former glory and hoped I could get the job done. I told Mr Smith to send it in. (BTW: “triangle knob” is pedal-slang for the first generation of Muffs produced from roughly 1969 through 1972/73.

Finally, I was able to get to the repair. I gave the old pedal a test and as G. had said, it sounded very...unwell. There were some broken parts, and the remnants of some less than pro fixes that had been hacked together over the years, which is not that uncommon for a pedal of this age. After repairing some torn traces, replacing the pots, and replacing a cracked cap or two, I was able to get it fired up. I was taken aback by the tones that greeted my ears. But before getting into that, let's talk a bit about some things I noticed while doing the work. Looking over the circuit, the cap and resistor
