It could be the lowest bass is not heard through your cab at fully clockwise. It's pretty low sub frequencies at that setting.

I'm running a GK MBF800 through a custom Schroeder 1210L cab. It's got a 10" and a 12" in there. My cab can handle the lows of my OC-2, EBS octabass, and MXR octave pedals. I also tried the cog through a 2X10 SWR combo amp, a 2X10 GK combo amp, and my school PA: a powered mixer through two cabs that have 15's and a horn. I had the same result with each amp set up, where the volume drops to almost nothing when filter is turned clockwise. Maybe I need an 18" to get those lows audible out of the COG? If my cab can't handle the sub frequencies of this pedal then I guess the T-16 isn't for me. :-(
I put an email out to COG yesterday and am still waiting to hear back.
Thanks for the feedback guys.
you be surprised actually but the 18 probs wouldnt give you more lows as they arent really efficient, im sure tom will have the answer but the lows do suck at lot of the perceived volume i always have the filter fully clockwise as thats the cleanist setting.
no volume loss here
Zombies ahoy! Didn't want to do up a NPD for this or anything, just curious where people are putting it in the chain. I don't have my board at home so going directly into it with my Warwick Thumb 5 (active), it was pretty hit and miss on where it would go down to before jumping octaves and warbling up. This is my first analogue coming from a Pitch Fork so I know it's not the same, but I guess I want to see what I can do to get the most out of this awesome little beast
I always put octavers as close to the bass as I can. Some pedals are exceptions, like I like to stick a clean boost after the bass and before the octavers. But any effects that are triggered by the amount of signal you have go in front as far as I'm concerned.
I guess I have to do some more testing, I feel like it shouldn't be as hit/miss as it is right now, I'd swear I'm hitting it with a strong, solid signal. Back to the laboratory!
