This one is specially designed for .

I ran into my friend Morty at Hank's Music Exchange. He was seeking a specific splitter/summer pedal to run his big m**f and rat in parallel in his bass rig. The two pedals were physically far apart on his board, so he had to do a special move with a big boot to hit both at the same time.

I somewhat brazenly said "I could just design a pedal for you that does that" and then had to take a step back and think about the footswitch routing to get that right 🤔

Morty's Fuzz Drive is a dual dirt pedal inspired by two classic circuits. They are in parallel and can be blended with the clean signal. Both sides have their own bypass footswitch and volume k***s, so you can tune the mix just right.

There is 1 at and a small handful on the website. These are going for $249.

We've got a lot of products and ideas that need just a little push to be ready for showtime, so that is where we are focusing our efforts. That, and getting a more steady supply of TARK 144's. 🖖

TARK 144 Eurorack demo is live on YouTube! Just posted an excerpt reel 🔮 there's a link to the YouTube channel on the bio

The name Tark "Audio" is intentionally ambiguous because our pursuit of sonic exploration does not end at the pedal board. Releasing eurorack modules has always been a part of the plan, the question was how to announce this?

Releasing a circuit in both pedal and eurorack formats is our way forward and the TARK 144 is the best candidate to shine here. The eurorack version has some special routing options that make it a great end-of-chain stereo dynamics processor, a saturating VCA with tone controls, or just a nice preamp to add some analog realness to a digital signal path.

The TARK 144 is available on the site for $159 (same price as the pedal). The first batch will ship by Sept. 15th

All of the slots for the first batch of TARK 144 pedals are full! I still need to make a video demo for the pedal version - need to construct some camera rigging 📹🛠️🤔

Big thanks to for lending his time, gear, and ears to help make sure that the TARK 144 plays well with other modules 🦾💫
