It's December, so according to Disney, that means it's Star Wars season once more, and in one of the more unlikely film tie-ins of recent years, Sheffield's Cog Effects has revealed the Rogue One octave fuzz pedal.
The bass stompbox crams a pair of fully featured, Muff-based Grand Tarkin bass fuzz channels and adds the parallel sub-octave channel from the T-70.
Clipping diodes can be removed from the fuzz channels and revoiced using depth switches, spanning Triangle, Russian and NYC Muff variants, while an A/B footswitch allows players to switch between channels on the fly.
The sub-octave channel, meanwhile, features a Clean Kill toggle on each channel to mute clean signal when the octave is engaged to balance levels, while a Filter control shapes the octave from fuzz to sub.
True bypass switching and standard 9V power supply operation is onboard, too.
The Rogue One is available now for £230 from Cog Effects. For more Star Wars-themed stompboxes, check out Steven Battelle's force-powered custom pedals.
