Maker: Origin Effects

Model: M-EQ DRIVER

Condition: New

Description: 

The M-EQ DRIVER is a Mid Booster & Drive pedal, based on a vintage Pultec® studio EQ. Still sought after today, these legendary passive EQs from the 1950s can be heard on thousands of hit records thanks to their highly musical, versatile EQ curves and the ability to overdrive their push-pull output stage. Rather than making an exact replica, we have chosen to reimagine this classic piece of studio gear as a guitar-oriented, compact pedal.

Craft the perfect mid boost, add some studio-inspired saturation or push the pedal’s valve-like output stage into fierce “cocked wah” distortion. With the addition of our Adaptive Circuitry, the M-EQ DRIVER is always responsive and precise, with a character all of its own.

FEATURES LIST:

  • Based on the legendary Pultec® studio EQs of the 1950s
  • Choice of mid boost frequencies
  • Adaptive Cut control responds to volume changes and playing dynamics
  • Transformer-equipped circuitry
  • Valve-like push-pull output stage
  • Ultra-high input impedance
  • High-quality buffered bypass
  • Premium components throughout
  • Designed and built in England

    THE DETAILS:

    The original Pultec® studio EQs are renowned for having some of the most natural and musical EQ curves in existence, so we recreated the behaviour of this timeless, passive EQ and optimised it for electric guitar. To make sure you’re emphasising just the right part of your signal, the M-EQ DRIVER lets you choose between 0.8, 1.0 and 1.3 KCS mid boost frequencies (yes, we even kept the old “Kilocycles Per Second” label – Kilohertz in the present day). 

    Not only does this versatile mid boost guarantee compatibility with all kinds of guitars but, when pushed harder, can elicit a range of saturation from a classic “mid-hump” overdrive to ferocious, resonant distortion tones. Equipped with a transformer, this carefully developed circuit adds harmonic richness, while faithfully recreating the sonic footprint of an original vintage Pultec®. 

    Using the MID knob in conjunction with the DRIVE control lets you balance mid boost with overdrive, giving your clean or overdriven tones as much or as little mid-emphasis as you need. 

    To add something new to this classic design, we have equipped the M-EQ DRIVER with our Adaptive Circuitry, applied to the CUT control. Based on the High Frequency Attenuation band of a Pultec®, the CUT control progressively removes treble as it is increased. With the ADAPT switch engaged, this high-end roll-off is reduced as the pedal cleans up, allowing for a smooth transition from warm overdrive to bright clean tones by adjusting your guitar’s volume knob or playing dynamics.

    9V DC 2.1 mm centre-negative

    Please note: the M-EQ Driver is powered by a mains adaptor only (not included). We’ve dispensed with the usual 9V battery option, both to save space and to allow us to adopt a high-current approach, yielding lower noise levels and superior tone. Origin Effects pedals are designed to deliver impeccable performance using a range of power supplies.

    We recommend you only use a regulated power supply specifically designed for guitar pedal applications as power supplies which do not have sufficient internal filtering can result in unwanted noise.

              HURON sea salt driftwood fragrance falls way short!
              Scent: Sea Salt + Driftwood
              I am only giving this fragrance three stars because I do like the smell. Other than that I will not be purchasing this product again. First of all you have to spray 25 times in order to get some kind of decent projection. But what’s the good of doing that when nobody around you could smell you. Yeah I know skin chemistry yada yada yada. Well let’s just say there’s no chemistry here

              Smells Amazing
              Scent: Sea Salt + Driftwood
              I purchased the sea salt and driftwood bottle and couldn’t be happier with it. I’m not typically much of a cologne person, but this scent smells so good it’s hard to not want to wear it. The scent is super clean and lasts forever while still being mild enough to not be overpowering. Definitely recommend at this price point.

              Good gift for boy
              Scent: Face Moisturizer, Size: 3.4 Fl Oz (Pack of 2)
              My boyfriend doesn’t use any skincare but this, he loves this moisturizer. It leaves his skin looking shiny and fresh. I always joke around about how it makes him look more attractive. It truly does give a glow!
