Pedals that use Passive Tone Stack EQ?


Recommended Posts

Posted

I'm really liking how the passive tone stack EQ sounds on my Stoneham valve amp and was wondering if there is a preamp / Di pedal that uses the same type of EQ?

The EBS Valvedrive DI has simple passive EQ tonestack. Pretty costly but if you want the feeling of a valve amp in pedal format it is a good bit of kit. 

I used to use an EHX English Muff'n for the same thing, but it is really a guitar pedal though works great as a bass overdrive.

There is a simple mod, removing a capacitor, that will improve the performance of the English Muff'n for bass.  I went a step further and changed the capacitors in the tone stack as well.

Sounds interesting! All I need to do now is remember where the hell I last left my English Muff'n!

I changed the stock tubes to 12AX7s as I found they had better headroom than the stock 12AY7s or whatever were originally in them. Cracking pedal.
