The highly user-friendly analog equalizer PA-1Q now comes in an acoustic version! The PA-1QA (for acoustic instruments) is a groundbreaking product that further advances the fusion of digital and analog technologies that FREE THE TONE has cultivated through the development of AMBI SPACE and TRI AVATAR. At first glance, the PA-1QA looks like a digital equalizer effect, but it is actually an "analog equalizer." The equalizer circuit (including the input and output sections) through which the guitar and bass signals pass is entirely analog, so the rich tone of the guitar or bass is processed as an analog signal. This is the same signal processing method as a traditional graphic equalizer with a slider volume. While it is just an ordinary analog effect, the PA-1QA's parameter control section is a digital circuit, and the status of each parameter is accurately stored and processed digitally. This resulted in a groundbreaking product that, despite being an analog effector, allowed real-time control via presets and MIDI. After more than 10 years of trial and error since the concept was conceived, the PA-1QA was finally completed. The PA-1QA is an effects pedal that combines the rich sound of analog with the high operability of digital at a high level. Experience its cutting-edge sound and operability for yourself. [Features] ●The equalizer circuit (including the input/output section) through which the instrument signal passes is composed entirely of analog circuits, while the parameter control section is composed of digital circuits, making this a revolutionary product that, despite being an analog effector, also allows for presets and real-time control via MIDI. The HTS Circuit, a major feature of FREE THE TONE products, has been renewed. It comprehensively manages guitar and bass signals from input to output at an even higher quality, maintaining the same sound quality whether the effect is on or off. The 10-band equalizer has separate frequencies for guitar and bass, with frequencies and equalizer curves optimized for each instrument. This makes it easier to use and allows for more precise adjustments. ●99 presets can be instantly recalled via MIDI signal control. It can be used not only as an equalizer effect, but also as a preset volume that manages the volume for each preset. This is useful when you want to increase the volume during solo playing, or when you want to even out individual differences in output levels when switching between multiple guitars or basses.
