NPD - Ibanez PTEQ

[Lowbrow]

Hot off the FedEx truck, I’m looking forward to putting this nifty parametric EQ to work! What I found especially appealing (besides $129 price) is how they differentiated the controls for frequency, level, and Q so you don’t adjust the wrong parameter — a personal bugaboo when using typical PEQ concentric knobs.

How do you like it so far?

I'm interested in this as well - does this add any noise to your signal? How are you liking it?

I got mine last Friday, and it's the only thing currently in my effects loop. When everything is level, there was no noise or difference in the chain.

I use my amp EQ to shape sound, but needed a sweepable EQ to get rid of those weird resonant frequencies you get in rooms. Used the sweep to find the resonant frequency in the room and eased the slider down to balance it, and the Q knobs helped get the right spread so I wasn't affecting too wide or narrow a lane.

It's brilliant and solidly built. For $129, it's a steal.

If this delivers what the controls suggest it does, it's a shockingly powerful tone control tool. As noted, definitely super useful in a live setting when a frequency is coming in hot (or cold), or also looks like enough EQ to simulate an IR. Or a well-tuned boost, one-stomp EQ shift into dub territory, etc. I'm intrigued
