The revered capabilities of Ibanez’s Pentatone preamp’s EQ module have been further enhanced within the PTEQ Pentatone 5-band parametric equalizer pedal. Like the original preamp, you’ll find the same five LED-illuminated sliders for sitting just right within the PTEQ’s /-10dB range, in addition to their five complementing frequency control dials that offer a grand total adjustability between 30Hz and 14.5kHz. However, a handful of matching and continuously variable Q controls are new to the game just above the classic controls. This new feature allows users to increase and decrease each frequency’s bandwidth, thus narrowing and widening the filter. But you don’t have to be a 6-string player to reap the benefits of the PTEQ! This pedal’s phenomenal range of equalization also works wonders for bass guitarists and keyboard players looking to perfect their tone, both during performances and in recording situations.





Equalize in depth





Are you searching for a better guitar mix onstage or sharpening up your bass tone for a studio track? Do you need a perfectly balanced delivery for your keys? Courtesy of the PTEQ pedal’s impeccable frequency, decibel, and bandwidth range, musicians around Sweetwater are finding effortlessly creative solutions for enhancing the very best signal qualities of their high output instruments.





Effectively an EQ with low, low-mid, midrange, high-mid, and high parameter controls, the PTEQ pedal flawlessly navigates the complexities of live and studio mixes with precise, professional-grade tone-shaping in an exciting degree of detail. And that includes impressive filter width control! Finally, the PTEQ pedal’s Master leveler handles the overall presence of your instrument’s mix, while its 9V circuitry promotes fantastic natural headroom. You couldn’t dream it up any better than this.
