Dan Coggins announces Hypoid Drive overdrive as stand-alone Cogmeister section

October 25, 2026 · 1 sources

Dan Coggins announced the Hypoid Drive overdrive on 25 October 2026, presenting it as a stand-alone version of the Drive section of the Dinosaural Cogmeister. The announcement appears on the Coggins Audio site, where the pedal is listed under the Dinosaural name.

Coggins writes that the pedal follows interest in offering the Cogmeister's individual sections as separate units. The Cogmeister, launched in 2022, is a triple boost/overdrive that Coggins describes as superseding the discontinued Tube Bender and OPA-101 pedals with a new Drive circuit, with an input treble booster called Push and an output midrange booster called Solo around it. The Hypoid Drive is the central Drive section of that pedal, and Coggins states that existing Cogmeister demos apply to it.

The Hypoid Drive is the third Cogmeister section to be sold separately. The Dan Solo booster/drive, identical to the Solo section, and the 3rd Law Booster, identical to the Push section, are both listed on the same page as discontinued, with Coggins stating that neither will be manufactured again once remaining stock is sold¹. The announcement gives no controls, specifications, price or shipping date for the Hypoid Drive; the page links only to the Coggins Audio shop¹.

Coggins ran Dinosaural from 2002 to 2019 and formed Coggins Audio Ltd in 2018 to take over from it as of 1 April 2019; Dinosaural is now a registered trade mark of Coggins Audio Ltd¹. In the same 25 October post he announced that he is now a co-Director of the new Lovetone FX Ltd, the brand he co-founded in 1995 and left in 2008¹. He has also worked since August 2020 as Analog Design Engineer for Redbeard Effects and Thorpy FX¹.
