The Wren and Cuff XTS Fade Font '94 is a mini fuzz pedal in the Big Muff style, released in October 2026 as part of the company's mini XTS Series. It is the more aggressive edition of the two pedals in that series, the other being the XTS Tall Font Russian, a stock take on the Tall Font Green Russian Muff. The Fade Font '94 is based on Wren and Cuff's earlier 1994 Fade Font circuit, and both XTS pedals list at $150.1
What it does
The XTS Fade Font '94 delivers a Big Muff style fuzz, described by Guitar Pedal X's Stefan Karlsson as "Big Muff Style Fuzz Fuzz Fuzz-Drive and Fuzzstortion Silicon Fuzz". Where the companion XTS Tall Font Russian is a stock Green Russian Muff voicing, the Fade Font '94 is the more aggressive of the pair, drawing on the earlier Fade Font circuit from 1994.1
Controls
Both XTS pedals share the same control layout and look almost identical apart from their designations.1

Availability
The XTS Fade Font '94 is a current product, but as of its October 2026 release it was available only direct from the Wren and Cuff store. Guitar Pedal X expected it to reach wider distribution in time.1
At release, the XTS Series pedals were direct-store releases only, so availability at other retailers may be limited.1
What reviewers said
Guitar Pedal X's Stefan Karlsson, writing at the pedal's release, was positive about the more aggressive voicing: "I have high hopes of the more aggressive 1994 Fade Font XTS Edition announced here - I'm definitely in the market for one".1
