Salt on your Bass? Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 Had a pretty extensive exchange with Tom at cog effects today. Pretty extensive cause I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed when it comes to effects! The outcome is I'm now awaiting a Cog grand tarkin which will become my one and only fuzz. Really excited as based on the discussion with Tom, it'll suit my board and band really well givi g me a nice deep, big sound. Anyone else put orders in and waiting at the moment? Quote
woodyratm Posted January 16, 2014 Posted January 16, 2014 Tom is amazing. I've got a super fuzz coming. To say the least i'm excited! Quote
CamdenRob Posted January 16, 2014 Posted January 16, 2014 Waiting on my Compressor/Preamp/DI at the moment, Shouldn't be long Quote
Kev Posted January 16, 2014 Posted January 16, 2014 My custom Grand Tarkin/Knightfall together with my Darkglass B7K gives me all the drive tones I could ever want! Just a gated fuzz away from being perfect Quote

Left Foot Posted January 17, 2014 Posted January 17, 2014 This beauty arrived Tuesday! Based on fix'd fuzz and with added filter controls on both fuzz tones and the final output, this covers all sorts of fuzz tones. Can go from really compressed driven phat bass to nice blended mellow fuzz tones when running singular tone, sounds better the louder it gets just begs to be turned to eleven! It self oscillates, a nice surprise, at extreme settings and THE most responsive fuzz ever played, acts differently to attack pressure and can get great sluttery diminishing tones. A really fun, awesome box of tricks! got a fantastic clean boost as well. Took me a while to get my head around the greatness of this box actually, the filters and how they blend ands a further element of sonic capabilities. Yeah, Tom is a cool guy, real patient with my banter, questions and pestering but most importantly he knows and pedals, a lot. Very happy [URL=https://imageshack.com/i/jnxkkdp][IMG]http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800x600q90/707/xkkd.png[/IMG][/URL] Quote

Salt on your Bass? Posted March 31, 2014 Author Posted March 31, 2014 So I've not been about much lately with life events etc taking place. However, got my Grand Tarkin in now and rehearsed twice with it. I absolutely love it (insert ,multiple expletives!). Its brutal and shakes bones. Tom did a little tweak to make it easily modifiable for me to reduce/increase the amount of bass in the signal, but its essentially an unmoded grand tarkin. I play in a doom band and the tone I'm getting is monstrous in my opinion. I was hesitant in changing pedals, from my SFX, but moving over to a muff based circuit which is tweakable in the way this is, is amazing. I'm so pleased and a massive public thank you to Tom, who is very helpful and understanding, particularly when dealing with someone who understands very little about anything at all. Anyway, my band are meant to be recording this Saturday so all going well i'll be able to post up some band mix sounds in due course. That's it Quote
