The Tone Job EQ & Boost by EarthQuaker Devices is a compact pedal that incorporates tone-shaping options reminiscent of audiophile-grade stereo preamps. This versatile device is designed for use with a wide array of instruments including guitar, bass, drum machines, synthesizers, and even unconventional sources like car stereos and kazoo. It features an active EQ with controls for Bass, Mid, and Treble, allowing for cuts or boosts of up to 20 dB, making it ideal for enhancing other effects in your signal path. The EQ controls are interactive, enabling users to play with different settings to find unique tones that fit their musical style. The Tone Job can be positioned at either the start or end of your pedal chain for various effects, with a Level control that can significantly boost your signal for solos or cleaner outputs.
