J Mascis is the guitarist of the punk-rock band Dinosaur Jr, well known for his collaborations and his influence on bands such as Sonic Youth and Nirvana. J Mascis has always had a sound signature associated with the Big Muff, this being the basis of guitar sound. Since 1987, he has been using an EHX Big Muff Ram's Head with component values somewhat "out of line" with the standards of the genre. This gives it a particular sound and this is what Wren and Cuff have reproduced in this Garbage Face. So you have within the same pedal, a Ram's Head as well as the artist's favorite germanium Treble Booster. This being used upstream to attack the Big Muff slice. Enough to create a real wall of sound characteristic of the group!
Externally the pedal adopts a superb colorful case. We find the Treble booster on the right with a knob to adjust the output level and a mini-toggle switch to adjust the frequency range of the boost. For the Muff part, a little originality, we are entitled to two Volume controls. This will be very practical for solos. 3 foot-switches allow you to activate the muff, the treble booster and switch from one volume to another.
Once plugged in, the pedal delivers a colossal drive, with a heavy low mid, harmonics in the top galore with an imposing density. Overall everything you need to play the classics of the era and more. It's the quintessence of the Big Muff early-70's sound with tenfold possibilities of interaction. The Treble booster allows you to hit the muff by adding even more brutality and harmonics. The sustain is almost infinite and you get a wide range of sounds.
Have the J Mascis Garbage Face , Wren and Cuff confirms its reputation as a specialist in all things Big Muff and 60-70's fuzz of all kinds. An extremely limited production piece that we rarely have in stock, so jump on it!
