BillyBass Posted July 14, 2020 Posted July 14, 2020 Does anyone know whether Cog Effects are still making pedals? Their Twitter and Facebook accounts don't appear to be updated and they don't appear to have any pedals for sale. I messaged them via the website but have not heard back. Quote
Thunderbird Posted July 14, 2020 Posted July 14, 2020 Maybe they are not working due to the coronavirus not a very helpful answer really but is all I can think of Quote
lee650 Posted July 14, 2020 Posted July 14, 2020 I've been wondering the same thing! I'm a big fan if Tom's work and I've had a few of his pedals (my T70 is the core of my pedalboard) but yes,His site and Facebook have gone very quiet (unlike his political musings 😂) At least two years ago,he was hinting on his Facebook about new pedals and designs,but nothing's come of it. He's a family man,and maybe he's slowing things down, to spend time with his family? Maybe he'll make a big comeback. I hope so as I find his pedals to be more original and interesting than a lot of so called "Boutique" pedal builders flooding the market. 1 Quote
Merton Posted July 15, 2020 Posted July 15, 2020 I emailed Tom earlier in the year, he's not doing any custom builds at the moment - I wonder if that's stretched to all builds for now for the reasons above? 1 Quote
BillyBass Posted July 15, 2020 Author Posted July 15, 2020 Thanks for replying all of you. All I want is just one teeny weeny T-47 but maybe I'll try something else. Quote

Digging up an old thread here but I was doing a bit of searching for myself, I emailed him about this time last year and he got back to me saying he was planning more stock in the new year but I didn't hear anything more. There's currently a T-70 for sale on the forum if you're still looking for something. I'm after a Grand Tarkin, just messaged through the website there to see if I have any joy. 1 Quote
Salt on your Bass? Posted October 25, 2020 Posted October 25, 2020 I messaged about 4 weeks ago via messenger and email. No reply sadly. Hope all's ok with Tom. Looks like he's just stopped as every channel is still there but no updated content. 1 Quote
4&5 String Posted October 25, 2020 Posted October 25, 2020 Shame. I always thought their products were very good. Hope they re-open again Quote
Sibob Posted October 26, 2020 Posted October 26, 2020 I spoke to Tom yesterday, all is fine and well, just that life in lockdown very much got in the way (difficult with a one-person company). He’s currently working on starting up again soon though, so watch this space! Si 10 4 Quote

Kinda interested in the partnership/dynamic with barefaced as well in terms of future direction product line if Tom does turn his hand back to production and any new market offering from his shop. ✌️ 2 Quote

keziahj Posted December 19, 2020 Posted December 19, 2020 Hi, what’s the status on TOM? I need so many T-16...🙂 No seriously, anything new? Thanks! 1 Quote
0175westwood29 Posted December 22, 2020 Posted December 22, 2020 Hope he comes back soon i still want a few more cog! the t70 is great! and ill never sell my custom! 4 Quote
Noisyjon Posted January 6, 2021 Posted January 6, 2021 (edited) Hi @Sibob / All, Any news on Cog Effects and if they'll ever resume production? I had a quick look at their FB page and nothing new on there since Jan 2020. Their T-16 is tickling my fancy! Edited January 6, 2021 by Noisyjon 2 Quote
Sibob Posted January 6, 2021 Posted January 6, 2021 Without having spoken to Tom further, I imagine the prolonged lockdown issues will have slowed things down somewhat. ‘Watch this space’ applies here I imagine. Si 1 1 Quote

hiram.k.hackenbacker Posted July 8, 2021 Posted July 8, 2021 @Sibob - anything further from Tom at all? Doesn’t appear to be any updates in the usual places. I hope he will bounce back soon. Quote
Sibob Posted July 8, 2021 Posted July 8, 2021 I'm not sure I'm afraid, I don't want to continue asking him about it tbh, when he's ready, he's ready I think. I still see him posting frequently on his personal Facebook, so I imagine all is as well as it can be. Cheers Si 1 Quote
