Amptweaker Announces New DepthFinder EQ Pedal
New active-boost unit adds resonance and presence to any amp.
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.
Features of the DepthFinder EQ pedal include:
- 2 Band active Boost-only EQ
- Resonance and Presence controls simulate power amp damping EQ
- Inside gain boost trimpot
- Can be used in amp effects loop or pedalboard
