Frequently Asked Questions
The JFET input is designed to be more forgiving with active pickups, preventing harshness and preserving the bass’s inherent character rather than adding unwanted coloration.
The Bias control is key—it adjusts the transistor's operating point, allowing you to dial in everything from a clean, subtle boost to a more saturated, gritty tone.
While all germanium circuits can be prone to a little noise, Wren & Cuff has done a good job minimizing it; however, a quality power supply is still recommended to reduce any potential hum.
