Dinosaur Jr tones on tap with the Wren and Cuff J Mascis Garbage Face
The new Wren and Cuff J Mascis Garbage Face is a collaboration with the Dinosaur Jr frontman and combines two of his favourite vintage effect pedals into one boutique, face-melting, purple box of joy!
Wren and Cuff J Mascis Garbage Face
This little boutique purple box was designed in conjunction with Dinosaur Jr frontman J Mascis and is based on his preferred way of boosting his guitar tone in a live band scenario. The unit essentially combines J’s favourite old 1970’s Electro Harmonix ‘Rams Head’ Big Muff fuzz with a germanium Rangemaster-style treble booster in one compact modern pedal.
The Garbage Face has five knobs (for volume, tone and gain controls), plus a treble booster voicing switch, three footswitches that activate the fuzz and the treble booster, and one that enables switching between the two output volumes.
You also get the typical J-style cutesy graphics on the front and, of course, it’s purple!

Waiting List
If you’re interested in getting one for yourself, bad news. You have to get on a waiting list for this pedal. I myself tried to get one from the first batch, but in vain. Unfortunately, it sold out in about a nanosecond, so it is obviously in high demand already.

Whether or not you are a Dinosaur Jr fan, it sounds like it should be a pretty decent fuzz/dirt pedal. I’m a huge fan of the band, and if you are chasing that famous J Mascis sound, check out this article I wrote a few years ago on how to obtain his core tones.
