Source Audio SA 170 - Programmable EQ

Compact and rugged EQ effects pedal for electric guitar and bass guitar that offers a thoroughly modern and highly streamlined upgrade to traditional equalizer pedals: it provides quick, hands-free access to four different user programmed EQ settings. It packs plus or minus 18dB of range over seven frequency bands, plus an additional frequency band at 62Hz, accessible via the Octave Extend function. Engaging the Octave Extend systematically optimizes the pedal’s frequency spectrum to accommodate the specific frequency range of the bass. Once the desired guitar or bass tone is dialled in, it can be saved in one of four programmable user presets. Each preset is easily accessible via the hands-free footswitch scrolling function. The pedal’s MIDI input also provides remote access to user presets or engages/disengages the effect. The pedal offers a substantial clean boost of up to 12dB. It can be used for an entirely transparent volume increase or providing the amp the front-end push needed for an aggressive natural break-up. The relay-based true bypass footswitch provides improved reliability, remote switching capabilities, and a completely unaffected, hard wire signal in bypass mode. As a bonus, the Auto-scrolling function, which automatically scrolls between all four presets at an adjustable rate, creates unique and dramatic effects similar to sequencer or tremolo units. The pedal runs on a 9V battery (included) or with an optional external power supply. Dimensions: 114 x 64 x 51 mm.
