Ibanez Pentatone Preamp and Equalizer 

Five Different Ways to Tweak Your Tone

True to its name, the Ibanez Pentatone preamp pedal packs five different all-analog effects and tone-shaping controls into a single pedalboard-friendly, dual-footswitch box. This pedal starts with a formidable boost section that makes it easy to crank your signal into the distortion section, complete with a 2-band EQ to shape your signal to taste. Looking for even greater EQ power? Leave that task to the powerful 5-band parametric EQ section with +/-10dB per band for studio-level tone shaping. Last comes the post-boost section to slam your signal into the next part of your signal chain. Finally, a built-in noise gate allows you to crank up the gain on the pre-boost, distortion, and post-boost with impunity, as it keeps your signal free from unwanted noise at even the most extreme settings. Add in the Bright switch and versatile footswitch options, and the Ibanez Pentatone preamp pedal is a must-have piece of gear for the guitarist who requires maximum tone-shaping control!

Versatile switching options

Right out of the box, the Pentatone’s dual footswitches allow for a standard bypass and activation/deactivation of the post-boost section. It’s an intuitive setup that allows for a quick, dramatic dynamic shift; however, that’s just the beginning of the Pentatone’s utility: plugging in an external footswitch grants even greater control by making the entire pre-boost and 5-band EQ section footswitchable.

Serious tone-shaping power

While we appreciate how the Pentatone’s distortion section features a dedicated 2-band EQ, sometimes you need a little more tone-shaping power. Thankfully, the Pentatone has a full 5-band EQ that sports up to +/-10dB of gain for each band. Combined with the distortion’s EQ, the 5-band EQ unlocks near-limitless tonal possibilities for you to experiment with — and that’s before you even get to the Pentatone’s treble-boosting Bright switch!
