Handbuilt Studio-Grade Semi-Parametric EQ pedal with Bidirectional Clean Boost stage

An original studio-grade boutique analog EQ pedal designed and hand built by a former Solid State Logic engineer in Somerset UK.  Sculpt your guitar tone by boosting or cutting a chosen frequency band by a chosen amount.  Push the front-end of your amp, or tame hot pickups via the clean boost stage.  Kill feedback and resonances with the surgical “notch” EQ setting.

Can also be used with electric bass, keyboards, electro-acoustics etc.

This pedal is road-tested, super low-noise, and designed to non-destructively deal with power supply mis-connections.  Every pedal gets nearly 50 separate setup checks in the workshop!


"Absolutely love this pedal! It’s everything I’ve ever wanted in an EQ pedal, the boost in volume works to perfection and even at maximum volume it has a wonderful sparkly tone. I gig with it and use it in studio work and it’s been the ultimate tone sculpting machine!" -- Josh Merchant, guitarist and music vlogger

"I'm using it on every song!!  … as a clean boost in solos or as a mid boost … I like the different dimension it gives to my distortion pedal" -- Dan Cunniffe, lead guitarist, Bathtub Dancing

“I wanted something more tunable than a Graphic EQ so based on my experience with mixing consoles I designed the Mont Blanc.  After blowing up a pedal once by plugging in the wrong power supply I decided I wanted my self-designed pedals to survive these sort of stage accidents!  My pedal board has a lot of wasted space from side-mounted jacks so I wanted this pedal to have all its jacks on the top.  I was also amazed at how stupidly bright some pedal LEDs are on stage so fixed that in the design too.”  -- on designing Mont Blanc
