Carl Martin Parametric Eq Pedal?

What do you guys think of the Carl Martin Parametric Eq Pedal?

My main purpose of using this is to boost the bass eq to 80hz. Would it excel at doing this?

The thing is, there is no control over the bandwidth. So I'm sure it would be great at boosting 80 Hz... along with whatever pre-set range of frequencies alongside it. It would be up to you whether you liked the cumulative effect.

+1, good call. I didn't think of that either. Have you thought of a parametric rack eq or parametric onboard bass eq? Maybe throwing an onboard bass eq into a pedalbox and using it that way. I know Mike Pope makes custom bass preamps, there is also a Knoll or the ACG one. Possibly a Raven Labs para-eq box also.

I was looking at that one, but at 5LBS it would double the weight of my micro amp rig!
