What Do Origin Effects Say?

The M-EQ DRIVER is a Mid Booster & Drive pedal, based on a vintage Pultec® studio EQ. Still sought after today, these legendary passive EQs from the 1950s can be heard on thousands of hit records thanks to their highly musical, versatile EQ curves and the ability to overdrive their push-pull output stage. Rather than making an exact replica, we have chosen to reimagine this classic piece of studio gear as a guitar-oriented, compact pedal.

Craft the perfect mid boost, add some studio-inspired saturation or push the pedal’s valve-like output stage into fierce “cocked wah” distortion. With the addition of our Adaptive Circuitry, the M-EQ DRIVER is always responsive and precise, with a character all of its own.

Controls

The original Pultec® studio EQs are renowned for having some of the most natural and musical EQ curves in existence, so we recreated the behaviour of this timeless, passive EQ and optimised it for electric guitar. To make sure you’re emphasising just the right part of your signal, the M-EQ DRIVER lets you choose between 0.8, 1.0 and 1.3 KCS mid boost frequencies (yes, we even kept the old “Kilocycles Per Second” label – Kilohertz in the present day).

Not only does this versatile mid boost guarantee compatibility with all kinds of guitars but, when pushed harder, can elicit a range of saturation from a classic “mid-hump” overdrive to ferocious, resonant distortion tones. Equipped with a transformer, this carefully developed circuit adds harmonic richness, while faithfully recreating the sonic footprint of an original vintage Pultec®.

Using the MID knob in conjunction with the DRIVE control lets you balance mid boost with overdrive, giving your clean or overdriven tones as much or as little mid-emphasis as you need.

To add something new to this classic design, we have equipped the M-EQ DRIVER with our Adaptive Circuitry, applied to the CUT control. Based on the High Frequency Attenuation band of a Pultec®, the CUT control progressively removes treble as it is increased. With the ADAPT switch engaged, this high-end roll-off is reduced as the pedal cleans up, allowing for a smooth transition from warm overdrive to bright clean tones by adjusting your guitar’s volume knob or playing dynamics.

Veri-Tone Arcturus Preamp FX Pedal [Used]

Thank You.

Amazing Reverb Pedal - Love it!

One of the standout features of the Fathom is its four different reverb modes: Hall, Plate, Lo-fi, and Sonar. Each mode has its own unique character, allowing you to tailor your sound to fit any musical genre or mood. The Hall setting provides a rich and spacious reverb, perfect for creating an ambient atmosphere. The Plate mode offers a brighter and more pronounced reverb, ideal for adding a touch of sparkle to your sound. The Lo-fi mode is particularly interesting, as it adds a bit of grit and texture to the reverb, giving it a vintage feel. Lastly, the Sonar mode introduces a subtle modulation to the reverb, which adds a sense of movement and depth to your sound.

The Fathom also features a sustain switch, which allows you to hold and sustain the reverb effect for as long as you like. This is perfect for creating long, dreamy soundscapes or for adding an extra layer of depth to your playing. Additionally, the pedal has a mix knob, which lets you blend the reverb effect with your dry signal, as well as a decay knob, which controls the length of the reverb tail.

In terms of sound quality, the Fathom delivers a pristine and natural reverb that can enhance any playing style. Whether you're looking to add a subtle touch of reverb to your clean tones or create a massive wall of ambient sound, the Fathom has you covered. I found that it performed exceptionally well in both live and studio settings, making it a versatile addition to any musician's toolkit.

After only ever using the reverb setting on my amp, this felt like a step up in the reverb game. Love it. Bought this 2nd hand from Pedal Jungle and other than not having the original box (this was declared at the point of purchase) it looks to be as new! As always Pedal Jungle are an absolute delight to deal with. Thank you again.

Thanks once again Jon, and thanks also for the great review mate. Paul

Hizumatis Fuzz

Pedal Jungle deliver another winner with this EQD Hizumatis, from their used collection. Very happy with the service and description on the second hand side of things. If I hadn’t of been told I would have sworn it were brand new. Now onto the pedal itself. If you’re a fan of all things Fuzz this pedal is a must have for your collection. You can strum out chords with this one without it sounding like a complete mess and it’s exceptionally good with those doom/stoner rock tones. It can be massive in sound and tones or if you wish it to be, it can be dialed down for a more suitable fuzz effect.

Much obliged sir for your continued custom and support of our small business. Glad the Hizumatis delivers for you. Enjoy! Paul
