NPD: COG Effects T-16 analog 1590a octave

...
Maybe one should campaign for some canadian builders to come up with something like this!
After all, to me some of the best ones are in Canada.

I cannot disagree with this.

I think Mr George must be part Canadian. Well, at the very least he's definitely Commonwealthian.

Someone in the pedal porn thread asked for a gut shot so I thought I'd post it here as well.

here you are my demo of the T16 is live so go check it out! i may have even run it into a T65?!



T16 > T65 = :hyper::bassist::hyper:


Will there be more 1590a pedals from cog?
Yes :)

Ohh look a little tent!

Awww cmon wallet, don't cry so much — maybe one of the 1590a pedals is the Octave-UP side of the T65 :thumbsup:...


...How about a mini octave with not even two pots for clean and octave down.
Just a blend pot and the filter...I think that too would be quite an interesting thing given that the blend would basically do the same thing as the two pots do now. No?
So; two, rather than three pots in all...

Yeah! That's how Red Witch does it in the Factotum and Zeus — the octave is just a one-knobber-jobber, 12:00 = 50/50 clean/wet.

As I mentioned in another thread, I was hoping for Red Witch to extract just the octaver from the Factotum/Zeus and stuff it in a 1590a. I still want Mr Fulton to do so, though even if he did — it would do nothing to diminish my lust for the T16.


The only thing left is for @nshuman to post his ultimate T16 Graphic...

So basically we are asking for someone to shrink this< Invalid Link Removed >down to 1590A. No?
Well..maybe with the 'tracking pot' on the inside?
and...Who are Mr George and Mr. Fulton(as mentioned in the post I am partially quoting)?

I considered that option for the T-16 actually, but went with independent level controls for greater flexibility.

Well, that shook my money loose.

*does the happy dance*

Alas, no Canadian in me. Mostly English with some Welsh and Trinidadian heritage. If it helps I am reeeeeally good at saying sorry when I need to though?

Ohh look a little tent!

I'll be honest, that isn't currently on the cards but you have just given me a few ideas!!! :)


Ok, so, @TG Flatline really likes star wars... What's the shape of a 1590a pedal in the Star Wars universe?

I'm guessing either a lightsaber or Leia's marital aid?
 
Both levels can go slightly above unity now. I like to have that option.
Also, I think the filter alters the perceived volume of the sub-signal when solo'd. You might want to compensate for that. So I think it's perfect as it is.

Maybe a balance knob paired with a master volume would work for me as well.
I don't need it to go beyond unity.
As long as no volume drop happens I'd love just the balance and the filter.
You could compensate for the perceived alteration of the volume in octave sound due to the filter with just the balance .No?

Then you just turn up or down at the instrument...at least that's what I'd do.:)
Well if that's how you want to handle it, that's fine, but having played many effects with a blend knob vs many with separate wet and dry knobs, including the Micro Pog I used to have and the Pitch Factor I replaced the Micro Pog with, wet/dry allows you much greater control of your blends and I'll take that every time over a blend knob. Only reason I kept the Pitch Factor is because it was smaller.

To each their own.
If this had just the blend knob, I'd have bought it by now.

Ok that's it, now I need to buy a pedal(s) from you. :thumbsup:

:thumbsup: :)

How is it more flexible with two than with one...it's just the balance between two voices, no?
That would really be 'I need this now!' .

Purely so you've got total control of the output level. A Blend & Master combination would be the other way to go, but as I'd got space for three knobs I didn't want to limit functionality and did want to maintain consistency with the T-65. I would guess from past experience that a greater proportion of people would want independent levels rather than a blend knob, but....


Might it maaaaaaybe become a custom option here?
That would really be 'I need this now!' .

......but for those who would prefer other options I do offer a custom service :)




Beep bop doo-reeeeeeeeeep!

I'm sure they will build that for you, if you ask them. That's the beauty of a small builder.

^^^THIS^^^ :)

I'm interested to see what Mr. TG Flatline is going to say about it!

It'd be no problem :)
