Salt on your Bass?

Yeah really looking forward to this arriving and unlocking some tones!!

I've completely u-turned from 'not for me' to deciding I should try one! I think the routing options sound quite appealing, and from the description theres tones I'll find useful. Think it's about 2 weeks away ☺️

Have you got an application in mind or just trying to work out if there's any value in one for you? I've never used one with a hybrid or as head. .I've learnt more towards overdrives in that set up, but something like the TC can get you to a nice 'transparent' drive from the gain on the pedal, so not really functioning as a boost. I tried my guitarists treble booster a couple of months ago and that was wonderful - again on a valve amp, but brought out the highs and crushed the front end.

In my limited experience of boost pedals, there isn't any difference to turning up the gain on the amp....assuming there's no other eq shaping associated with the boost. You could also use it to boost the signal into your overdrive/ fuzz etc and take the pedal to another level. This is quite an interesting vid (albeit guitar based) https://youtu.be/svZ2Mhh6wUU I use a TC spark with my valve amp sometimes and it just pushes the front end harder into break up or further. With the TC, I add a bit of additional bass and roll some treble to shape it a touch and the spark is brilliant in this imo. (See the spark thread).

...I might be close behind you on that @simon88wilson!! ✌️

Should be some demos up this week apparently. Im really looking forward to hearing some of the sounds it can offer. . I'm rebuilding my board again and the dirt routing is really starting to pique my interest. ✌️

Si, just wondered if there was any news on Cog? .... 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. ✌️

This is an awesome pedal imo... Albeit I've taken it off my board for a little. I use it in front of my valve amp as a boost for heavier sections and like noted above, it doesn't add colour, just more of my amp. I have the max version as I find the toggle and the eq pretty useful.

@alexclaber - what are the fuzz and drive influences/ circuits on this pedal please, and are there demo's coming out soon?

Hoping there's some decent demos on their way out. Interested to hear what it has to offer. Also interested in whether this is it, or if there's more in the pipeline with cog as a range of pedals.

@alexclaber - is this a long term partnership with cog then? Or specific r and d collaboration to deliver you a range? Curious as to any exclusivity and the direction of cog as part of this as well. Also, what are the drive and fuzz circuits based on (is it a moded tarkin and knightfall?) and have you got demos coming online soon? Cheers

I think my problem with this is they don't build pedals. So customer feedback, continuous improvement and product development, r and d etc..... All feels mis placed. An amp has always made sense to me. Maximise the synergy with their cabs. There's Lots of established, niche and quality pedal builders out there.... what is effectively an outsourced/ White label product via third party just feels it missed the point of the barefaced brand to me. Not meaning to sound too critical, I guess just disappointed in the direction. ✌️

Looks interesting. I'm surprised they've dived in this deep with a first release. It's expensive to take a punt on, but probably still represents value I don't like the styling, and I'd prefer to buy cog tbh. All in the tone, and like you say, Tom knows what he's doing.....so it'll be good I'm sure. Not my bag though

@bartelby - that rig has left me feeling confused, slightly violated, but overall warm and fuzzy. How do the smaller cabs compare tonewise?
