Anarchy Audio: ESQUILAX Active 3-Band EQ - Demo
42http://www.anarchyaudioaustralia.com/Esquilax.html
An Active EQ is a powerful thing. 3 bands of it specially tuned for heavier styles of guitar playing is even more powerful. Thus we have the Anarchy Audio Esquilax. This pedal can deliver tight, crushing bottom end, mids to make your solos cut through or highs to rise you above the clash of battle happening around you on stage.
The Esquilax is hand built by Anarchy Audio's Johannes Chuah in Perth, WA. All of Johanne's stuff is cool as you will see with a little search of my channel or a visit to site.
More info from the Anarchy Audio website:
"The Esquilax is a simple but effective 3 Band Active Equalizer , easily utilised to refine and/or provide an alternative sound to your core base tone.
Inserting the Esquilax after your gain source (i.e distortion/fuzz/overdrive pedal) or in your amplifier's series effects loop, allows further tone sculpting and refinement of the Low,Mid and High frequencies along with overall volume output. Placed prior to your gain source, allows for adjustment and fine tuning of the guitar and pickup's characteristics.
The Low control is voiced specifically for fans of huge, yet tight percussive low end, no matter the volume level whilst the uniquely voiced Mids and High controls interact to allow a variety of tonal shaping between scooped and grinding rhythms, cocked wah tones or just adding presence, without the piercing top end."
Controls:
Low -- Bass Frequencies +/- 15db
Mid -- Midrange Frequencies +/- 15db
High - Treble Frequencies +/- 15db
Level -- overall volume output
