Black-Violet Caprid OG

Black-Violet Caprid OG
DISTORTION
Description
Recreating a mid-1970s era Big Muff, this stompbox faithfully captures the highly coveted "violet-era" Ram's Head circuit. Hand-wired in Los Angeles, it features an original 3003-style circuit board layout populated with three hand-selected orange-dot and one violet-dot transistors, along with half-watt carbon composition resistors and Mullard "tropical fish" capacitor clipping sections. Housed in a super heavy-duty folded steel enclosure, the pedal produces a saturated, balanced fuzz with rich upper harmonics, deep earthy lows, and a smooth, violin-like sustain. The control layout incorporates a traditional true hard-wired bypass alongside a reverse-operating tone potentiometer that replicates the unique response of the original units.
