Amptweaker Announces New DepthFinder EQ Pedal

Amptweaker has announced the release of the DepthFinder EQ, a new pedal that allows the user to add the tone of power amp-style Resonance and Presence controls in an amp’s effects loop or on a pedalboard.

The stand-alone, two-knob pedal makes it possible to achieve the tone of a tube amp’s low damping factor, even in a solid-state amp. The frequency range and boost of each knob was matched to the controls on a block-letter 5150 head into a Vintage 30-loaded birch plywood cabinet, so the resonance matches that resonant system. The Presence also matches how the amp reacts to the inductance of the speakers.

-       Can be used in amp effects loop or pedalboard
