IF YOU WANT A GREAT FURMAN PQ-3 THIS IS THE UNIT YOU WANT. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WRONG WITH THIS UNIT. IT DOES SOUND PHENOMENAL. ITS BEEN BABIED ALL IT’S LIFE. ALL ORIGINAL AS SEEN IN LISTING PHOTOS. THANKS FOR LOOKING AT MY ITEM.😀🤘🏻

This used vintage 1979 Furman PQ-3 Parametric Equalizer comes with an attached Power Cable and copy of original owners manual. This Furman Parametric EQ is in excellent condition with normal wear from age and use. I think it’s awesome for its age. It sounds phenomenal. This Furman has a couple little blemishes. All the knobs are in great shape. This Furman hasn’t been altered. That’s why I take pictures of the circuit board. See for yourself that it’s in great shape. No problem what so ever. This Furman PQ-3 has been fully tested, and works great and sounds phenomenal. The circuit board is in excellent condition. All the resistors, compacitors and all the pots are original. This Furman doesn’t hiss or make scratchy noise. All the pots are in great condition. You don’t see these units with all original parts and pieces. You get what you pay for. If you are a true guitar player you are always searching for that sound. This Furman unit will give you that PANTERA Crunch!

Please look at all the listing photos. What you see is what you get, an awesome unit. Product Details: The Furman PQ-3 is a classic parametric EQ made famous as a guitar equalizer. If you want to up your game add the Furman PQ-3 to your arsenal. It's also a great EQ for other sources as well.The PQ-3 features 3 fully parametric bands with an enormous amount of gain and cut, as well as a Q control, and Frequency control. There isn't another EQ on the market today that sounds like the PQ-3. The unit in these pictures is the unit you will receive. Dimebag used a Furman PQ-4 Then went to the Furman PQ-3 with the MXR Flanger Doubler, vintage MXR 6 band EQ with his Randall Amps. The Furman PQ-3 is essential for the Dimebag sound. Micheal Sweet of STRYPER used the Furman PQ-3 for his sound as well. Doug Aldrich's uses the Furman PQ-3. Look at my picture of Doug and see where he places his PQ-3 in all his gear. A lot of famous musicians use or used the Furman PQ-3 for their rocking sound. I’m pretty sure Micheal Schenker, Ratt and a bunch of 80’s rockers used the Furman PQ-3. Actually the Furman PQ-3 was the secret weapon of many famous guitar players. This unit has been in a rack mount for its life. That’s why it’s in great shape. If you take care of them they should last forever. Unlike shit they make these days. Everything on this unit works as suppose to.

Read my selling feedback. That’s up to you? A lot of people selling hide shit to get over on you. I like having a 100% positive buying and selling on Reverb and ebay. My guitar gear might be a little more expensive. You get what you pay for. In my photos I show power works. I show in listing pics no one butchered the circuit board. It’s all original.

This is from a bass player using a Furman PQ-3 Parametric Equalizer for his bass.
He says, I have to say, that the Furman PQ-3 is indeed a wonderfull device that allowed me, as a bass player dial in/out sonic problems that a particular venue had. And with a twist of a knob, it could make my SVT stack either shake the place to it’s knees, or piss people off!

The FURMAN PQ-3 Parametric Equalizer / Instrument Preamp were Furman’s first product in 1976. (Jerry Garcia bought the first one). Now it’s a collectors item still used by top guitarists. Dimebag owned several original PQ-3’s; he used the FURMAN PQ-3 for many years throughout his successful career and albums.
In 1998 Dime asked the Furman Company to bring the PQ-3 back. So they did. The ‘newer’ PQ-3 was identical to the original except they added a front panel–input along with the rear one, so you can plug into the front or back. The green and red faceplate from 1976 was the same. The preamp was the same and the sound is the same. And so is the PQ-3’s extra deep and wide range of adjustments. It goes from +20 dB to xx, infinite cut. That’s wider than you’ll find in studio parametrics, and it’s great for guitarists. With the Furman PQ-3, whatever you want to do, you can do more of it. Create your own sounds.
To add to Dimebag’s iconic sound, was his  and Randall amplifiers; RG100 MXR Doubler Flanger.

What you see is what you get. An all original awesome vintage 1979 Furman PQ-3 Parametric EQ which is now a collectors item.

I hate when you purchase an item and the seller drags their feet or doesn’t make it a priority to ship out the item their selling. Like how long does it take to print a label and drive and drop off at USPS? That’s why if you buy my item listed you will have it 2-3 days after purchased. Read my feedback I ship quick. Thanks for looking and reading my listing.
