3 Band Parametric EQ=/=simplistic.

I'm necro-chucking-bumpaging this thread because I want people to tell me more about this pedal.

[Chankgeez]

Dude?

[goroth]

Not that this narrows it down, but doesn't jwar have one?

[Chankgeez]

If he did have one, he's proabably sold it and flipped it three times over by now.

I will go look at pics of his recent boards, goroth. Thank you!

seems like the ultimate dirt/sculpt tool. multiple parametric EQs

I did have one! It's fucking amazing man! One of my biggest regretted flips of all time and on the list for re-purchase next year (It's a big list though LOL).

It can do almost anything you can think of. It has two preamps with one three band EQ. Each eq band has it's own gain, quality (I never quite understood this knob but it changes shit lol) and frequency knob, which is something I've never seen on any other pedal and it creates amazing versatility. The preamps are one lower gain, one higher but there's a blend between them so you can get some insane results that way as well. Plus it has a built in noise gate with two internal dip switches or knobs (if I recall right) that controls the release time of the gate and bias. I want to say I remember a kind of filter in there as well. OH! And it has an output volume knob, which is super useful because this fucker has MASSIVE output.

I've heard it can clean up for a nice subtle OD, but I never attempted that. I used it for bone crushing and it certainly excels and is quite possibly the highest gain circuit I've ever tried.

I'd say this is WMD's most underrated pedal and their best IMO. If you get a chance man, snag that shit up. They are fucking great.

The only stupid thing on them is the input and output are both on the right side, but you can work with it.

Thanks, jwar, much appreciated!

Definitely have more interest in it now after that glowin' review. GASSIN'

Maybe I'll ask 'em to do a demo of it. There's no good demo on the YouTubes.

Quality is the shape of the curve of the frequency being boosted. If it's a flattish curve (like a speed bump) then you'll boost a lot of the frequencies around the centre frequency. If it's a high q the curve will be super pointy and it'll just boost a very specific frequency.

I like jwar's description of "Q" better.
