hamfist Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 (edited) SOLD The pedal I vowed I would never sell. And only for sale as this week I received my new Knightfall 66 (basically a double Knightfall pedal) from Tom at COG ! IMO, the Knightfall overdrive engine produces the most pleasing OD on bass guitar of any I have ever heard. Absolutely wonderful. The "Bass" mini switch gives you two options for pre-overdrive bass frequency levels. Here is a demo video of this actual pedal by me......

lee650 Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Hmmm, does it do low gain grit like a blueberry or solid gold beta? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] With a pretty standard output passive P or J pickup it will easily do low gain. I can't remember the blueberry in detail but my memory of the SG Beta is that it is quite a squashy power tube-like OD and the KNightfall is [u]not[/u] like that (which is why I like it). The Knightfall keeps its attack punchy and quick, whereas valve-like OD's lose the punchiness and speed of attack the more you OD them (to my ears). So, yes, will do similar OD levels but a very different quality of OD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lee650 Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Brilliant! Thanks hamfist! I'd want to use it with a P bass,so sounds ideal I'd imagine its the predecessor to the Mini 66? I'll have to check the finances,but I bet this will go soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I compared this KNightfall directly to my new KNightfall 66 pedal with the clean on the 66 completely off. They sounded identical.

lee650 Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 (edited) I like your demo on this! so it can do the fairly low gain well! Being a distortion I assumed it would be very high gain,whereas I'm looking for a low gain tone enhancer/boost(I suppose that's the Darklighter) I believe there was a bass version which one is this? And the in/out is that really just gain and vol? I do like the idea of the clean blend on the Mini 66 though,so not sure!

COG only make Bass versions as far as I know and this definitely is for bass. I think of this as a low to medium gain pedal. I feel the "distortion" tag is rather misleading. I use a Muff pedal for high gain. The clean blend of the mini 66 is useful, for sure, and will give you a different sound but is, of course, more expensive, Originally I used this with a clean blend pedal and then the blender pedal broke so I used and gigged this for a few months without a clean blend and came to really love the unblended tone too. To have the option of clean blend is nice but I guess that option is not on the table for this low price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
