Gold Comp

COMPRESSOR

The Wren and Cuff Gold Comp is a truly special pedal. A year and a half of experimenting, tweaking, redesigning, and testing has resulted in a pedal worthy of the Wren and Cuff name. Two hand-tested vintage germanium transistors in the box provide a natural warmth and super smooth clipping that has to be heard to be believed. The Gold Comp can go from a barely noticeable compression sitting inside of a cozy germanium preamp, adding a subtle sweetness to your tone, all the way to total old-school dirty squash with the twist of a couple knobs. Pull way back on the compression, attack, and release, and you'll have a fantastic preamp/ boost similar to the Wren and Cuff Phat Phuk. There often seems to be a divide between 'transparent' and 'dirty' compressors, the thought being that you'd need one pedal for each purpose. The Gold Comp proves that you can have both within one unit. Experienced players who love to dial in things just right will appreciate the four-control layout, and those new to the world of compressors don't have to be intimidated. The Gold Comp sound is complex, but the operation is simple. Constructed to the level of quality that Wren and Cuff has built its reputation on, this is a pedal you simply can’t go wrong with. The tone is pure gold.
