This pedal is a smaller, more pedalboard friendly version of the Blue Violet Caprid OG,which is based on the famed "violet-era" Ram's Head Muffer.
The Blue Violet Caprid Small Foot contains three hand-selected orange-dot transistors and a single violet-dot transistor, each selected for the best gain range to create the perfect muff-tone. All component values are matched to the Big Box OG Blue Violet. Ifyou like rich, violin-like sustain with a slightly aggressive edge, then you've got the right pedal!
Does it sound the same? It sounds very close to the OG Blue. Since it doesn't have the same big 'ole 1/2-watt carbon-comp resistors, 3003 open layout, and exact caps (but same values), it's never going to be identical. That's what makes the big box pedals in our line so special! However, to most people, the sound differences will be quite subtle, especially when you factor in that the hand-matched transistors are identical.
The Small Foot Blue Violet is the perfect solution to players want the huge tone of the Blue Violet in a smaller package!
