Master Effects PMEQ Puppet Master EQ - semi-parametric EQ Aphex EQF-2

NOTE this pedal can take up to 7-10 days to ship. all parts are in stock - just need to assemble.

August 2024 update:  This is the "version 2" of the PMEQ. The main changes from v1 are

- frequency markers on the FREQ controls

- added the buffer that is present in the original EQF-2 into the signal chain before the EQ stages. This ensures more consistent behaviour of the pedal when used with different kinds of equipment (eg tube and solid state amp FX loops, pedalboards, modellers, etc). The pedal is still true bypass and the buffer is only in the signal chain when the pedal is engaged.

- corrected a design issue present in the original EQ that would sometimes result in the high shelf band oscillating and making strange noises when used with some amps. This change does not affect the tone of the EQ stage at all.

​

On Master of Puppets, Flemming Rasmussen configured the Aphex EQF-2 to boost low frequencies, cut mid frequencies, and a boosting high shelf filter. These configuration has been captured in the PMEQ.

​Controls for each frequency band include: low frequency boost, mid frequency cut, and high shelf boost level along with selectable low, mid, and high frequencies.

​Low Frequency range: 25-500Hz, 12dB boost.

Mid Frequency range: 250 - 5000 Hz, 12dB cut.

High Frequency range: 1 - 20 kHz, 12dB

The pedal uses a standard Boss-style 2.1mm center negative power cable. An internal charge pump to supply the circuit with ±15V power. That's 30V of headroom to ensure that your signal will not clip or distort.

​

Each pedal comes with a 1 year warranty on parts and labour. Note that the warranty does not cover damage due to using an improper power supply or other misuse. We strongly recommend using a brand name regulated 9V DC power supply with a minimum of 100mA current capacity such as a 1-spot, Dunlop DC Brick, Voodoo Labs, Cioks, or other similar power supplies.
