Blended from circuit-archetype lineage, dynamic feel, tone-signal overlap and tone-vector distance — the tone vector itself is derived from editorial description text, not a measured acoustic signal, so this reflects how similarly the catalog copy describes the two, not a lab measurement.

Alchemy Audio builds the HBE Detox EQ as a faithful clone of the HBE Homebrew Detox EQ, a rare, somewhat underrated equalizer circuit not widely produced by major manufacturers, using high-quality components including one-percent metal film resistors, Switchcraft jacks, and Alpha potentiometers to reproduce the original's tonal shaping accurately. Rather than designing an original circuit, Alchemy Audio specializes in careful recreations of classic and hard-to-find effects designs, making pedals like this accessible to players who want a specific, sometimes obscure vintage sound without hunting down an original unit or attempting to build one themselves from scratch.
The Guptech I Sea Q'you is a 6-band graphic equalizer pedal from Guptech, a Quebec-based boutique pedal manufacturer, offering players precise, multi-band tonal shaping and correction. The playful name references its function as an "EQ" pedal, delivering practical, detailed frequency control in a compact pedalboard format.
