The M-EQ DRIVER is a mid booster & drive pedal, based on a vintage Pultec studio EQ. This unique pedal offers a range of mid-focused tones, from a subtle mid boost to thick, resonant overdrive and features the Adaptive Circuitry recently introduced on our Halcyon Green Overdrive. The M-EQ Driver is a pedal with a character all of its own and offers a new flavour of mid boost and drive.Still sought after today, the passive Pultec EQs of the 1950s can be heard on thousands of hit records thanks to their highly musical, versatile EQ curves and the ability to overdrive their push-pull output stage. Rather than an exact replica, we have chosen to reimagine this classic piece of studio gear as a guitar-oriented, compact pedal, with a harmonically rich, transformer-equipped circuit recreating the sonic footprint of the original.A choice of three mid-range frequencies ensures that you can boost just the right part of your guitar signal and, when pushed harder, can elicit a range of saturation from a classic "mid-hump" overdrive to fierce "cocked wah" distortion. Thanks to the Adaptive Circuitry, the high-end roll-off of the Cut control is reduced as the pedal cleans up. This allows for a smooth transition from warm overdrive to bright clean tones in response to playing dynamics or guitar volume knob changes.Built in the UK to the highest standards, the M-EQ DRIVER continues the Origin Effects tradition of vintage, studio-inspired tones in modern guitar pedals.M-EQ Driver Key Features- Based on the legendary Pultec studio EQs of the 1950s- Choice of mid boost frequencies- Adaptive CUT control responds to volume changes and playing dynamics- Transformer-equipped circuitry- Valve-like push-pull output stage- Ultra-high input impedance- High-quality buffered bypass- Premium components throughout- Designed and built in England
