T-16 Analogue Octave

Mini 66 Bass Overdrive

Tarkin Fuzz

The original Grand Tarkin was designed as a work-horse bass fuzz for the gigging bass player. No frills and no gimmicks, just solid bone-crushing tone to drive the bass in any band. The second iteration of the Grand Tarkin retains the same great sound but adds extra flexibility.

Sustain, Tone and Mids controls are all up to the top, and the Blend and Level controls of the original have been replaced with two pairs of individual Fuzz and Clean level controls. The A/B footswitch switches between the two pairs of level controls giving two preset blends of fuzzed and clean signals - ideal for being able to kick up for the chorus or solo.

The clean channel is filtered to integrate with your fuzz in a more musical way than a full-range clean blend. Instead of the blended signals sounding "side-by-side" it sounds like one huge, fat and brutal fuzz tone.

The end result is a versatile and massive-sounding bass fuzz designed to deliver on any stage.

Grand Tarkin Bass Fuzz

The original T-65 was engineered to allow bassists to fully explore the sonic landscape of the analogue octave pedal. This second iteration gives the same awesome tone and freedom to experiment while also being more pedalboard-friendly. The TRS jack for the effects loop has been replaced with individual send and return jacks, and the new Mode footswitch allows you to engage or bypass your effects loop when the T-65 is bypassed - no longer do you sacrifice your effects loop pedals to only be used when the T-65 is engaged, now you can switch them in and out in bypass. 

Analogue octaves aren't perfect: they glitch out and don't produce the "clean" octave signals that a digital octaver does, but they have a certain character that makes the sound much more musical and appealing to the ear. The T-65 is designed to provide the best possible tracking while retaining this character.

Level controls are included for dry signal, one octave down, one octave up, and the parallel effects loop. The Filter control is an adjustable low-pass filter on the octave down signal, ranging from tubby subby dubby tones through to buzzy synthy tones and everything in between. Tune your octave down to your own tastes. Neat.

The octave up is a bit dirty and helps add some presence back in to your sound when in a live band mix. It is by no means a clean reproduction of your sound an octave higher, and it isn't designed to be used as a standalone octave up on bass, but instead as an integrated part in this octave machine.

Experiment with different pedals in the effects loop. Turn the dry signal all the way down and use a Tarkin in the loop for the fattest, fullest fuzz sound you'll get without bi-amping. Really like that distortion pedal but hate that it kills your low end? Try blending it with your dry signal, an octave down and an octave up rather than just clean blending. 

All four audio jacks plus the DC jack are north-mounted to provide a convenient footprint for almost every pedalboard.

Designed, tweaked, changed, changed back, tweaked some more, one more change and finally released - the Knightfall 66 has been a long time coming. Capable of providing fat cleans, old school mid-heavy growl, all the way through to high gain overdrive, the Knightfall 66 is the drive pedal you need on your bass pedalboard. 

Two separate Gain controls can be switched with the A/B footswitch, and each Gain control also has a Level control to allow balancing between the two drive settings. The Voice knob adjusts pre-gain low end providing additional control over the shape of the overdrive, and the Tone control cuts high end after the clipping circuit giving a broad sweep from dark through to very bright. 

The clean channel is filtered in a similar way to the Grand Tarkin's clean channel and designed to properly blend with the drive channel - rather than sounding "side-by-side", the two channels integrate for a more natural tone. 

The Knightfall 66 can be powered up to 18v for increased headroom and dynamic feel.

Knightfall 66 Bass Overdrive

The T-47 Analogue Octave is the perfect solution when you need more than one octave sound but don't need the complexity of the T-70 or the hassle of multiple octave pedals. Problem solved.

The T-47 features the full control sets of two T-16's, with level controls for clean signal and octave down signal plus the Filter control to adjust the octave down tone for each channel. The A/B footswitch allows you to swap between the two presets on the fly. Simplicity and versatility. 

With north-mounted jacks and a footprint not much wider than a single T-16 with jack plugs engaged, the T-47 provides amazing flexibility and incredible tones in a super compact enclosure.

Smaller, better, meaner. The Tarkin mk2 is based on the Green Russian, just like the mk1, great for the bass guitar and thick guitar sounds, but this time it's squeezed into the pedalboard-friendly 1590A enclosure. It'll do the classic, smooth fuzz sound we all know and love, but it will also do a lot more than that.

Increase the Fuzz knob for more sustain and distortion. The Tone knob takes you from deep rumbling wool through to nasty ice-pick fizz. Bass players will likely not venture past the 2 o'clock point without physical abuse from bandmates, but it's there if you need it.

The LPF and HPF switches adjust the corner frequencies of the filters that make up the Tone control, allowing you to add low- and high-mids respectively. These controls help cut through a live mix and give you the option to add more punch to your fuzz sound. As you would expect, these switches interact with the Tone knob, so experimentation is highly encouraged.

Inside you'll find switches to adjust the two clipping stages. In position 1, the clipping is smoother, and in position 2 the clipping has more bite. You can also remove the clipping diodes from either stage using these switches.

Overall, this tiny terror will fit on any pedalboard and is an extremely versatile fuzz box for guitar and bass.
