new 3leaf preamp!

I think Spencer didn't want to disclose the center freqs because he wanted people to think of the EQ in a more musical than technical way. Or something like that.
Yes he said here that it's a broad tone-shaping EQ, not a "surgical" one; and I'd suggest he adds that to the product description.
 
well someone could always buy it and map the eq curves on a computer! :D

Well unfortunately for you I have one and can't use my words. I jack up normal conversations with craziness that people don't get, so you can imagine me with the ol' technical jargon.

But anyway.....I Like it, a LOT. I needed it for help getting back into practicing in a new apartment. I don't want to become THAT guy already. It's bad enough I have full sleeves (both arms and legs), chest panel, side panel and now he is the guy that rumbles the building. But I do play through my rig, just a little more aware of things than mu old living arrangements. See what I mean??

With headphones ([Invalid or Expired Link Removed]) and PC set-up it sounds great.The ability to use a mixed signal of either music or drum/music tracks through reason has been a huge boost in my playing/practice regimen.

The Deep switch is nice (I leave it mostly on) and definitely adds some oomph.

The mid switch is, um............nice??? I find that I prefer this in the UP position for either cutting or boosting depending on what I'm looking for sound wise. I am not sure why. Logic would say that the up position is upper mids and down position would be lower mids??? I found that boosting with the mids in down position to be kinda muddy and just not (sonically) my taste.
This all rings true through my home rig: LMIII / Avatar SB112 (neo). I found at modest settings toggling between having the Enabler on/off that the sound had a nice subtle "sheen" to it and that I liked it. I also found it handy on the TOP of my amp using it to reign in some of the volume spikes from the pedalboard. It's a tad more convenient to look down and adjust then bend over the front of the amp. A very small, but useful surprise.

I don't know, this is just a pre-coffee/awaiting for my morning meds to kick in post. This pedal is really working in a few ways for me and I am very pleased with the purchase.
 
The Enabler #003 is IN!

I bought it to replace my EBS MicroBass II, not because the MicroBass was a bad unit, it just had more features than I would ever use.
The Enabler has all of the features I ever used when I had the MicroBass.

dharmashawn sums up the features quite nicely. It sounds really good, clear and transparent. I'm never letting this one go.

If you need an EQ, DI, pre-amp, headphone-amp or just a practice tool, then this is something for you!
 
Clean, clean, and more clean. It is not that kinda gain knob. DI is on the right side. I put this last and get dirt elsewhere. Primarily a Frequency Central OD and the super awesome BDPG at the end right before the enabler.
