Cog Custom
If you want something you don't see in our current range of effects, or want a modified version of something we already do, feel free to get in touch about a Cog Custom pedal. This can be as simple as two or more effects in one box or more in-depth tone-shaping on an existing Cog Effects pedal, all the way through to completely custom pedals based on your specifications and requirements. Either way, we will work together to find the right pedal for you. Contact us for a quote or some no-strings-attached advice!

"CMM00" Custom Dual Fuzz Octave
Built as the basis of Royal Blood/Death From Above 1979 style bass-and-faux-guitar rig, this pedal features a rehoused Electro-Harmonix Micro POG and two Fuzz Face/Mastotron-based fuzz circuits, with additional routing circuitry to provide a great deal of flexibility.
The signal is split after the input, with one signal sent through the POG and then the fuzz circuits, and another uneffected signal sent to the Kill footswitch before the output. Each signal is then split again, and sent to both their own output jack and also to a mixer with Wet and Dry level knobs to send to a third output with the blend of both the bass and faux guitar signal.

Build diary and more pictures HERE
"Red Five" Custom Bass Multi-Effects
Grand Tarkin, T-65 Octave, parallel analogue chorus, reverb, and X-Wing artwork. Lots of routing options, buffered/unbuffered effects loops... lots going on. Best bet is to click HERE and get all the info.
"Hellraiser" Custom Bass Multi-Effects
Grand Tarkin Bass Fuzz, Knightfall Distortion and T-65 Octave all in parallel. Four level controls for mixing Dry signal, with only one ever active depending on which combination of effects are selected.
This is very much an expansion on the concept of the T-65 Octave and parallel sub octave in general.
Artwork is an adaptation of the Puzzle Box from the 1987 film Hellraiser, with oversized Moog-style knobs to finish things off.
"BTL-S3" Custom Bass Multi-Effects
Grand Tarkin Bass Fuzz, Knightfall Distortion and T-65 Octave all in parallel and built to the same specifications as the Hellraiser pedal above, with the exception that the master bypass switch is removed and instead if no effect is selected the entire pedal will be true bypassed. A great front-end dirt-and-down box for any pedalboard.
* Dry O - Dry level when only the octave is selected
* Dry K - Dry level when the Knightfall is selected and the Tarkin is not
* Dry T - Dry level when the Tarkin is selected and the Knightfall is not
* Dry D - Dry level when both Knightfall and Tarkin are selected
"Brutal Master" Custom Bass Multi-Effects
Grand Tarkin Bass Fuzz, Knightfall Distortion and T-65 Octave all in parallel and built to the same specifications as the BTL-S3 pedal. Artwork by MrExcane.

Grand Tarkin Bass Fuzz, Knightfall Distortion with clean blend, and a parallel T-65 Octave with optional expression input to control the level of the octave down signal.
More details HERE
"Midoctachoruzz" Custom Bass Multi-Effects
This pedal is totally stupid... and that's why I love it. With a T-65 Octave, analogue chorus and Grand Tarkin Bass Fuzz together in a series loop, all in parallel with a mid-humped clean blend you are not going to get a nice subtle "I just want a little bit of amp-like breakup when I dig in" kind of sound. You've got a pedal for that already, it's cool. This pedal has a knob labelled "Honk" and totally gets away with it.
Built specially for Ant Wright of Brawlers in a joint bid to make some nasty sounds on Radio 1 and festival stages this summer. Winner.
"Bad Mario" Custom Noise Box
This pedal is bonkers. Stark-raving bonkers... but a whole lot of fun. Signal chain from right to left is octave up with input gain and output level, Tarkin Fuzz with Mids knob instead of switch, and with Feedback and Gate knobs each with a toggle to turn them off. Next is a Filter & Sample/Hold section to chew up the fuzz and spit it out before a 2-stage phaser rounds things off nicely.
Artwork is Banksy's and is used in tribute to the original.
"CMB01" Custom Multi-Effect
T-16, Mini 66 and Tarkin in one enclosure, with master bypass footswitch and order reverse footswitch to swap Tarkin > Mini 66 to Mini 66 > Tarkin.
"Black Sun" Custom Bass Distortion
Custom "battle-worn" parallel Knightfall and Tarkin for Simon Francis - one each for his two touring rigs.
Three-position Voice switch and post-clipping adjustable High Pass Filter on the Knightfall, and Mids knob and switchable Gate knob on the Tarkin. Sounds enormous on bass.
Star Wars Black Sun artwork on battle-worn enclosures make these two one of my favourite custom projects.
"Super Harmonic Loop Overdriver" Custom Bass Guitar Overdrive
"Zappa Fuzz" Custom Dual Tarkin
Two independent Tarkin Fuzz circuits with custom tone sections, designed for an intricate stereo rig. Complete control over the mid-band of the Tarkin to allow different positions and widths of notches and boosts. Broad range of Muffy sounds in a small footprint. Built for Dweezil Zappa's 2013 World Tour.
More details HERE
"Tarkin 66" Custom Bass Dirt
Single channel Grand Tarkin and single channel Knightfall 66, with master bypass footswitch and A/B to switch between the two dirt sections. Old school "Clocks" Knightfall artwork. You could take down buildings with this thing.
"OF-7" Custom TK-421 Bass Guitar Distortion
Super versatile, super lethal, just super duper all round frankly.
"CMGo00" Custom TK-421 and Reverb
Two channel TK-421 with external clipping options, plus always-on reverb with huge wet/dry mix knob that can be foot controlled. Extra large effect order toggle switch for reverb>TK and TK>reverb, and retro industrial engraved graphic.
"CADe00" Custom Dirt Box
"CPH01" Custom Grand Tarkin Bass Fuzz
"CPH02" Custom Mono/Stereo Dual Effects Loop Blender
Additional mono input to use with regular output guitars and basses so that re-wiring of the pedalboard isn't necessary in the event of a guitar change.
Mute footswitch is the Lehle Switch BTN. Super useful tool for both Rickenbacker/stereo instruments and parallel blended rigs.
"CJK01" Custom Amp Selector
"Night Fall on Jupiter" Custom Knightfall and Darklighter
The expanded EQ and clipping options on the two effects, combined with the Order switch results in a hugely flexible dirt box for both guitar and bass.
Name and artwork are the client's nod to Cave In.
Darklighter with expanded active EQ and Knightfall with three clipping options (LED, MOSFET, Silicon) selected by the D switch. The O switch changes the signal order from Knightfall > Darklighter to Darklighter > Knightfall.
"CFT00" Custom T-65 Octave
"The Chosen One" Custom Knightfall 66
Bloody Qui-Gon Jinn has a lot to answer for.
"I reckon he's the chosen one, he must be trained, blah blah blah"
Well, that was a good call.
"CNG003" Custom Signal Router
Custom signal router for my homie Nicky Grayson of Like Rome. This router allows Nicky to run his bi-amp rig with individual effects chains for each amp, dedicated tuner output, and mute footswitch.
"CRB001 & CRB003" Custom Signal Router
Signal Router for Mike Kerr of Royal Blood
"CRB002 & CRB004" Custom Patch Box
Patch Box for Mike Kerr of Royal Blood
"Knight Terror" Custom Knightfall and Darklighter
Darklighter with expanded active EQ and Knightfall with additional Voice rotary switch and three clipping options (LED, MOSFET, Silicon) selected by a switch on the back. The order of the effects can also be selected by a switch on the back.
"Bear Necessities" Octave Overdrive
"CDM00" Custom Bass Fuzz
"1666" Octave Overdrive
"Bearfist" Custom Blender
Blender with Bass/Treble EQ and phase inversion switch on the loop and variable LPF on the loop similar to the blend on the TK-421-X. Super useful clean blend pedal for bassists.
"Propaganda" Custom Grand Tarkin Bass Fuzz
Single channel Grand Tarkin with additional Gate control. Empire propaganda artwork for maximum cool. The red on the sides of the enclosure matches the red on the top, I just can't take a decent photo!!
"3 Step" Custom EHX 720 Stereo Looper External Footswitch
External footswitch for the most excellent Electro-Harmonix 720 Stereo Looper, allowing quick access to Bank Up, Bank Down, and Instant Undo/Re-do, which fully unlocks the potential of the additional features of the looper. The footswitches are staggered in height to allow them to be aligned vertically and still be easy to press just one switch at a time.
"Inertia" Custom Knightfall and Grand Tarkin
18v bass-tuned Knightfall, and Grand Tarkin with extended control over the filters making up the Tone control to create a hugely versatile bass fuzz. Sounds enormous. Huge. Footswitches are spaced such that they can both be pressed at the same time if need be.
More information HERE
"Starbird" Custom Chorus and Delay
Analogue chorus with independent control over Wet and Dry levels, Bass/Treble EQ on the wet signal, and the usual rate and depth controls, plus analogue-voiced modulating digital delay. As well as the regular delay controls, this one also features a variable high-pass filter on the repeats to allow a higher wet level and number of repeats without muddying the dry signal, and is designed with bass guitar in mind.
Further to the effects, this pedal has unique signal routing in that is has two sets of jacks for each effect - one set on the right-hand side and one set at the top of the enclosure. This was built in for the specific requirements of the customer using this pedal on two different pedalboards. Chorus Out and Delay In jacks will also link internally automatically if nothing is inserted.
Finished off with the Rebel Alliance logo, Starbird. Geekier than C-3PO, cooler than Calrissian. Awesome.
"Juggernaught" Custom Distortion and Modulation Multi-Effects
Knightfall, Tarkin, Darklighter, Phaser, Chorus and Delay. Everything you could need to create some proper sonic mayhem. Graphic derived from art for Sheffield band Galleon by the rather fabulous Jason Kerr. LFO rate LEDs for each of the modulation circuits for added bling.

"Bertie Big Bollocks" Custom Grand Tarkin and Knightfall 66
1) Fuzz with extra Mid control
2) Two-Channel Distortion
3) DI
4) Must must MUST have roll bars
5) Most importantly, must have giant picture of hanging testicles engraved onto the top of it and the name "Bertie Big Bollocks" on an engraved front name plate.
Yep, that'll do it.
Checklist for custom pedal:
"Slunge Detonator" Custom TK-421-X and Knightfall 66
TK-421-X with HPF mod and external rotary switches for clipping options and LPF-2 range, and Knightfall 66 with external rotary switches for clipping options on each channel.
Custom artwork featuring Burrito the pot-head donkey. When you turn on the Knightfall 66 his spliff lights up red. Obviously.
"Silver Surfer" Custom Grand Tarkin Bass Fuzz
While he may not be as cool as Han Solo, the Silver Surfer is still cool enough to have been voiced by Morpheus, so I'm gonna give him a pass. Standard Grand Tarkin guts with super duper Marvel artwork.
"CBGe00" Custom Line Selector
Clean Blender with phase inversion switch and two preset levels of clean and loop. The footswitch swaps between the two presets. Perfect for those "always on" effects where you want more than one balance of clean and effect. Can also be used as a clean boost, or a buffered pedalboard interface.
"CAWr02" Custom Line Selector
Dual loop mixer with footswitch to swap between preset levels. Phase switches for additional flexibility, and the send and returns on each loop connect automatically if jacks aren't inserted. Roll bar to retain settings if you've got heavy feet.
"Stormtrooper" Custom Grand Tarkin for the 2015 CTCC Charity Auction
Despite being completely inept and anonymous, stormtroopers will always be cool. They couldn't hit a cow's arse with a banjo, they don't know which droids they're looking for, and they got absolutely leathered by a tribe of mini bears with vastly inferior weapons. Still cool though!
This custom finish Grand Tarkin was my submission for the 2015 Circuits To Cure Cancer Charity Auction.
"Circuits to Cure Cancer" Custom Dual Tarkin for the 2014 CTCC Charity Auction
Two Tarkins in one, with added Mids control and individual controls for each channel. One footswitch for bypass, the other to switch channel. This pedal will be auctioned off as part of the 2014 Circuits to Cure Cancer charity auction event in May, so as well as getting fuzzy with this beast you will also be helping kick cancer in the nuts.

"Robot Camel" Custom Dual Knightfall
Let's face it, The Empire Strikes Back is just the best Star Wars film, and one of the coolest things about it was the AT-ATs lumbering towards Echo Base. Seeing another AT-AT as Rey's home in The Force Awakens was another cool touch, and here's one on a Dual Knightfall looking cooler than a Wampa's dangly bits.
"Time Bandits" Custom Knightfall and Darklighter
Darklighter with expanded active EQ and Knightfall with three clipping options (LED, MOSFET, Silicon) selected by the 1 switch. The 2 switch changes the signal order from Knightfall > Darklighter to Darklighter > Knightfall. Artwork by MrExcane.
"Maximum Stoverdrive" Custom Bass Overdrive and Distortion
Single-channel Knightfall 66 and TK-421-X bass distortion in one box. Commissioned as a two-channel pedal for medium-high gain and crazy-high gain: the right footswitch engages the pedal, while the left footswitch chooses with which weapon you shall vanquish thine enemies.
More details, including details of the TK-421-X, can be found HERE
"Octagrit" Custom T-65 Octave and Knightfall 66 Bass Distortion
This one is three effects in one box: Knightfall 66, T-65 octave, or both together in parallel. Individual clean blend level controls for each mode of operation, and the box is true bypassed when neither effects are engaged. Footswitches placed just close enough to be able to trigger both at once.
More details HERE
Custom Signal Router
Stereo input jack for dual output bass, individual effects loop and PA sends for each signal, two amp outputs that can run either the individual signals or a 50/50 blend using the Stereo/Sum switch, ground lift switch for second amp output, and mute footswitch that kills all outputs except the tuner output.
Sometimes what can seem like the most simple effects or routers like this (or the excellent Boss LS-2) can actually end up opening doors for a truly innovative rig. I could see myself combining this with a bass amp, guitar amp, plus a boat-load of effects and going for a Royal Blood-esque huge sound....
"Gray Fuzz?!" Custom Dual Bass Distortion and Fuzz
Grand Tarkin Bass Fuzz and TK-421-X Bass Distortion in one box. Each effect can be used independently or together in parallel, with level trim controls when in parallel mode. Additional input to mix in a third signal. When neither effect is engaged the whole box is true bypassed.
Click HERE for more information.
"A/SF-01" Custom Knightfall and Darklighter
Darklighter with expanded active EQ and Knightfall with three clipping options (LED, MOSFET, Silicon) selected by the 1 switch. The 2 switch changes the signal order from Knightfall > Darklighter to Darklighter > Knightfall.
The expanded EQ and clipping options on the two effects, combined with the Order switch results in a hugely flexible dirt box for both guitar and bass.
"Bounty Hunter" Custom T-47
T-47 Analogue Octave with custom engraved Boba Fett artwork. Yeah alright he got eaten by a hole in the ground after a blind man accidentally set his rocket pack off, but this Mandalorian bounty hunter is still a total bad-ass.
"The Ashes" Custom Dual Knightfall
Custom engraved 2015 Ashes commemorative/commiserative trophy for Daniel Steinhardt, head honcho of The GigRig, who has been most gracious following the crushing defeat of Australia at the hands of the English and thus deserves a bit of a pick-me-up.
I should have called this one the "Cover Drive" really, shouldn't I...
"The Terminator" Custom T-65 Octave and Gated Fuzz
(Use your best Arnie accent) "I need your clothes, your boots, and a set of bass cabs capable of producing 20Hz without farting out when I shove some serious subs up them..."
The standard T-65 control set is all there with the exception of the Loop level control which is instead replaced with a two-position mode switch to move the position of the fuzz to be either in series or in parallel with the octave. An internal trimpot sets the level of the parallel send to the fuzz to allow for better balancing between the two modes. Sounds enormous in either mode.
"Octa Frog" Custom T-65 Octave and Darklighter Overdrive
T-65 Octave with individual footswitches for octave up and down, into a Darklighter with a toggle for an alternative TS9 voicing.
The T-65 is true bypassed if neither up or down is selected, with the footswitches spaced so you can press either or both at the same time.
"For Sorrow, For Joy" Custom Line Selector
Channel A switches between a clean level control and an effects loop with level control and phase switch.
Channel B switches between a clean level control and an effects loop with level control and phase switch
Channel C switches between a clean level control and a bass/treble EQ with level control.
Footswitches for channels A and B located so they can activated individually or together.
The ideal tool for the blending bass player.
Three blendable signal paths in one small unit.
"Yin Yang" Custom Fuzz
This one is a little bit special. On the left we have a Tarkin with the Mids switch replaced with a continuous knob, and on the right is a Superfuzz clone for old skool fuzzy deliciousness.
The special thing about this pedal is it is designed to be placed at two different points within the signal chain - in this case, both within the loop of an envelope filter AND in series with the filter. The middle footswitch switches which point in the chain the pedal is placed. In addition to the footswitch, there is also a Control jack on the back of the pedal to remotely control this function. This client uses a G-Lab controller and will use one of the available amp switch jacks when programming his patches, but it could just as easily be used with the GigRig G2, One Control Crocodile Tail or Free The Tone ARC amongst others.
"Raging Bull" Custom Bass Darklighter
Bass Darklighter with variable-filtered clean blend section stolen from the TK-421-X and tweaked to better complement the Darklighter circuit. This combination is fantastic for warmer, lower gain tones than the Knightfall or TK series, but will still get grindy when cranked. Additional footswitch for an on-board effects loop, with the Order knob changing the pedal from loop>Darklighter to Darklighter>loop, and the Mode knob activating the Loop Level knob.
This pedal was commissioned by a Rage Against The Machine fan, and so during testing I only used Rage riffs lest this pedal become sullied by a lesser standard of riffery. Testify!
"Light Side, Dark Side" Custom Line Selector
Custome dual loop Line selector with footswitches to select "A or B" and "A and B"
"Politics" Custom Knightfall 66
Single channel Knightfall 66 with added Mids cut/boost and frequency knobs. Artwork is a Banksy piece and is used in tribute to the original. This one struck a particular chord with me and I used the same artwork on a pedal for myself years ago.
"Henderson's" Custom Grand Tarkin Bass Fuzz
Jessica Ennis. Pulp. Nick Park. Bring Me The Horizon. Michael Palin. Harry Brearley and stainless steel. Arctic Monkeys. Richard Hawley. Def Leppard. Gordon Banks. 65daysofstatic. Kell Brook. Roger Taylor (the other one). Sean Bean.
All those great names pale into insignificance compared to this one... Henderson's Relish.
Chances are that if you are from Sheffield you will turn out super-awesome, it's that simple. Aye there's more handsome folk about, our football teams have had their day, and our greatest actor dies regularly, but there's no doubt Sheffield is made up of winners. So when a Sheffield exile found out custom finishes were an option, he had to have Hendo's for a taste of home.
Standard Grand Tarkin circuit, extra special finish. Better on bass than chips though.
"Boba Fuzz" Custom Grand Tarkin Bass Fuzz
Just ask anyone who they think the coolest dude is in all of Star Wars. If they don't answer Han Solo then they're gonna answer Boba Fett. If they give a different answer to those two then they probably think the prequels were better than the classics and that Greedo shot first. You don't need that kind of person in your life. Oh, also this is a bass fuzz.
"Solo" Custom T-16 Analogue Octave
Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good octave on your pedalboard, kid.
This T-16 has the Clean level control removed to keep it simple for octave down tones only. Featuring engraved artwork of the Millennium Falcon, the coolest and greatest ship ever, despite what any Star Trek or Firefly fans will try and tell you...
"Rogue Leader" Custom Line Selector
Line selector and routing pedal with free bonus harpoon and tow cable*
Two effects loops can be placed in parallel with each other or clean signal. With level controls for each loop and also each dry signal to enable proper balancing of levels. This allows for A+B, A+Clean, B+Clean and Clean from this box. Phase inversion switches are included on both channels for maximum flexibility.
These line selectors can also be built in an 'A or B with A+B' configuration, as well as other custom options. Swiss Army Knife for bass players looking to blend one or more distortions with each other or clean signals.
*Harpoon and tow cable not really included
"Squares" Custom T-65 Octave
T-65 Octave modified so the contents of the effects loop is your bypassed sound, including internal level control for the bypass signal. Ideal for putting a large portion of your pedalboard, if not your whole pedalboard, inside the loop to add parallel octave to. If nothing is placed in the loop, the bypassed sound will default to clean.
"Repeats" Custom T-65 Octave
The T-65 has level controls for one octave down, one octave up, and dry signal, as well as a level control for the onboard parallel effects loop. Put your dirt here, put a chorus and a fuzz here, put a delay here... the only limit is your imagination (and pedal collection). Finally, a variable Filter control on the octave down signal allows you to shape the octave down sound from synthy and grindy through to pure sub. This is the analogue octave pedal you've always wanted but not yet got.
"Red Three" Custom T-65 Octave
This T-65 Analogue Octave has an Incom T-65 X-Wing Starfighter engraved on it. Get yours today and blow up the nearest Death Star!
"Black Tarkin" Custom Grand Tarkin Bass Fuzz
Custom Grand Tarkin with Dweezil mod to the Tone section and Cog Custom pink LED for maximum sex appeal.
"Stu-Tron" Custom Envelope Filter
Custom Mutron-based envelope filter for Stuart Eastham of the British & Irish Modern Music Institute with Fiery Figrin D'an of the Modal Nodes, engraved front-plate, second LED displaying envelope, and Moog-style knobs.
"Elephant" Custom T-65 Octave
T-65 Octave with custom engraved elephant artwork.
"RnB" Custom Multi-Effect
Darklighter, Boss CE-2 clone, modulating analogue delay, and reverb in one big ol' box. Effects loops pre- and post-Darklighter with bypassable buffers on both sends and returns, and bypassable output line driver. Everything you need to get up and go plus the flexibility to add extra effects without compromising tone.
"TX 18/45" Custom Blender
Custom blend pedal with Blend and Level knobs, plus a variable low pass filter on the clean signal and phase inversion switch for the effects loop. All killer, no filler. Deep engraved red logo and matching red sides for added bling.
"Waves" Custom Grand Tarkin Bass Fuzz
Grand Tarkin with alternative taper on the Tone pot to give a larger range on the bass side at the expense of a smaller range on the treble side to allow for finer tuning of bass frequencies. Also covered in optical illusion wavy artwork that made me think the (computer generated and engraved) straight lines for the label boxes weren't parallel any more! A fun but confusing build!
"Zig Zag" Custom Dual Knightfall Distortion
Stock Dual Knightfall Distortion with zig zag optical illusion artwork. This one looks cylindrical when you look straight down on it. Crazy, maaaaaaan.
"Screwball" Custom T-65 Octave
T-65 with custom optical illusion artwork.
"Brutalist" Custom Brassmaster Fuzzes
A trio of old skool Brassmaster clones because your speakers have had it far too easy until now.
"RZ-1" Custom T-65 Octave Fuzz
The standard T-65 control set is all there with the exception of the Loop level control which is instead replaced with a two-position mode switch to move the position of the fuzz to be either in series or in parallel with the octave. An internal trimpot sets the level of the parallel send to the fuzz to allow for better balancing between the two modes. Sounds enormous in either mode.
"Dirt Channel" Custom Amp Footswitch
Replacement channel select footswitch for a Marshall DSL100H, built into a recycled Boss pedal enclosure.
"The Boss" Custom Knightfall
Knightfall Distortion in a recycled Boss DS-2 enclosure with four-position rotary Bass switch. True bypass switching using a relay.
Build diary, more pictures and details HERE
"Seaweed" Custom Knightfall 66

"Disastrochimp" Custom Knightfall
Two-channel Knightfall with custom artwork.

"Signor Gatto" Custom Dual Bass Drive
Bass Darklighter and TK-421 in one box.
Read more HERE.
"Signor Gattino" Custom TK-421-X Bass Distortion
Signor Gatto's little brother, this is a
TK-421-X with an added adjustable high-pass filter on the dirt channel for dialling in super nasally drive tones for blending with super fat clean tones. It is scientifically impossible to play this pedal for more than five minutes without breaking into Hyper Music or Plug In Baby.
"Radar Rat" Custom TK-421-X Bass Distortion
TK-421-X with custom Radar Rat artwork, used in tribute to Banksy's original piece. This one has the 308 in there at the customer's request.

"Danger" Custom Grand Tarkin Bass Fuzz
Custom warning sign artwork on a stock Grand Tarkin.
"Ripper The Buzzsaw" Custom Fuzz and Oscillation Machine
Six fuzz modes, foot-switchable boost before the fuzz, foot-switchable oscillation with a choice of six different feedback paths and a Noise control to tame things if needed. Filter control rolls off the highs after all that crazy goodness. Pure fuzz, gated fuzz, glitch fuzz, jumpy octavy fuzz, drone tones and total stutter noises make this probably the daftest Cog Custom pedal so far. Pixelated lo-fi etch to match the lo-fi vibe, and checkerboard knobs because, well, why not?
"Meat Grinder" Bass Fuzz
Zero subtlety on this one. It's a bass fuzz, and it's massive. Input impedance control to work with active basses, and clean blend control. Massive low end. Comes with spare trousers just in case.
More info and pictures HERE
"Windu Boost" Prototype FET Boost
Very loud FET-Based boost. Huge knob for on-the-fly adjustments. Plays very nicely to push amps into overdrive and as an "always on" tone. Crank it high and use your guitar's volume knob to control the breakup.
"iFuzz" Silicon Fuzz and Octave
Silicon fuzz monster with separate octave up. Toggles for shelving frequency and compression. Artwork is not my own and I will probably be hearing from Apple before long. Oh well...
"Fear Me" MOSFET Boost
Very loud MOSFET boost with big knob for on-the-fly foot adjustment. This one goes to twelve.
"Inch by inch, play by play" Delay and Tremolo
Modulating lo-fi digital delay with dual delay times, and tap-tempo analog tremolo with time division and shape controls alongside the usual suspects. Text is the Al Pacino speech from Any Given Sunday, made for an NFL fan.
