Wren and Cuff Mercy Phuk Colossal Overdrive

The WREN AND CUFF Mercy Phuk Overdrive compact effect pedal is not a run-of-the-mill boutique clone, and it won’t suit everyone’s overdrive needs—particularly folks who need a more transparent clean boost.

But old-school players will get a kick out of the Mercy Phuk’s responsive gain structure, distinct volume boost, and harmonic clarity. Getting the most from the circuit requires playing with your guitar’s volume control, though you can also play wide-open for a seriously scathing overdrive.
