News from @cogeffects: !!!! NEW PEDAL DAY !!!! Say hello to the new Tarkin Fuzz and Grand Tarkin Bass Fuzz! The Tarkin mk2 remains firmly based on the Green Russian, just like the original, but the new version has been upgraded with expanded options over Mids and clipping, as well as having been shrunk to the pedalboard-friendly teeny-tiny Hammond 1590A enclosure. Even more versatile than before, and able to find a spot on even the most cramped guitar and bass pedalboards. bit.ly/1RKlSqw The goal behind the Grand Tarkin hasn't shifted – a solid and versatile bass fuzz for the gigging musician, with building-crushing tone and no frills or gimmicks. What's changed is an increase in flexibility and versatility. The single Level and Blend knobs have been replaced with two pairs of Clean Level and Fuzz Level knobs, and a second footswitch to swap between these two presets on the fly. The clean signal is filtered, just like on the original Grand Tarkin, to deliver massive bass tones rather than unnatural-sounding and lacklustre “side-by-side” blended fuzz sounds. This is THE Muff-based fuzz you need on your bass pedalboard. bit.ly/1UUgEzd Bass demo of the Tarkin by the awesome @mrexcane can be found at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ctaT60v3o10 Guitar demo of the Tarkin and bass demo of the Grand Tarkin will follow this week. !!!!

In 1986 EMDX 9055, today’s CN 5419, rolled off the production lines at EMD’s LaGrange Illinois plant. That same year saw the founding of the legendary Seattle record label Sub Pop. Within a few short years the mighty little label would put out seminal early recordings by Mudhoney, Soundgarden and Nirvana among many many others. By 1991 Seattle was the center of the known universe as the so called “Seattle sound” sound took over the airwaves and grunge fashion (or anti-fashion) became all the rage the world over. That time period is considered by many to have been the last true rock n roll culture-craze not unlike Elvis and rockabilly, The Beatles and the British Invasion, Flower Power, Glam Rock, Punk Rock,Disco (regrettably) and New Wave. EMD’s 60-series locomotives were similarly the last of a great lineage, within a decade they would be eclipsed by GE, a defeat from which they would never recover. Sure there were glimmers of hope in the SD75’s and the 70mac’s but the sun had already begun to set on EMD as the premier locomotive manufacturer.

Left to right: Line 6 DL4 delay modeler for the echoey things, Voodoo Lab Sparkle Drive for the green Ibanez overdrive sound, MXR Eddie Van Halen (!) Phase 90 for those swirly bits, Home Made Electro Harmonix Big Muff Pi 'Green Russian' for a thick meaty fuzz, Boss DS-1 distortion for orange crunch and the Boss Tuner to make sure it's all in tune.
