DHA - new pedal idea

[DHA]

Hi all,

Thinking of making a new pedal out of the existing DI-EQ design. It will be a 3 band active EQ with Mid band Q and a boost via a footswitch. So a clean op-amp boost with EQ, really my DHA-DI-EQ without the DI.

Is there a need for this?

box will be 120x95x55 with the knobs. 9V battery and 2.1mm center negative power supply operated. 1/4" jack in and out (in jack turns in on) - blue led. True by-pass footswitch.

Will be offering the first 5 ordered by BC members for £49 + £4.25P&P - Target price will be £59.

Comments welcome please.

Yes, definitely a need. I'll get one if I can sell one of my pedals in time to beat the rush.

sounds interesting...will the eq and boost be controlled by the same footswitch ?

i was wondering about being able to hit the front of a valve amp with a bit more gusto, and to add some eq as well, or not.

might be useful in the mild overdrive stakes, or balancing two different basses.

Yes, that's one use as a clean boost into a valve amp. It possible to get a very high output so will go into heavy overdrive if needed or even drive a power amp as a pre-amp.

Also been looking at a stereo version which could have two sets of controls so making it useful for two basses with different setups - could have a footswitch to select between the pair.
