Similarity
citedBlended 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. Shown only within a gear class, and only where there's enough evidence to be meaningful.

Description

The Free The Tone PA-1QG is a programmable analog 10-band EQ specifically tuned for electric guitar, with frequency bands at 50, 100, 200, 400, 800, 1500, 2500, 3500 Hz, 7, and 10 kHz, each offering ±12dB of boost or cut. Like its acoustic-focused sibling the PA-1QA, it combines a fully analog signal path with a digital control section for precise preset storage, recall, and MIDI-controllable real-time parameter changes, keeping the actual tone-shaping circuitry analog throughout.

The Old Blood Noise Endeavors 3 Band EQ is a three-band equalizer from Old Blood Noise Endeavors (OBNE) (Oklahoma City, Oklahoma), a respected US boutique manufacturer known for inventive, experimental effects with unique circuit concepts and lo-fi influenced aesthetics. The 3 Band EQ delivers treble, mid, and bass frequency control with OBNE boutique quality for tone shaping in the OBNE studio and live pedalboard format.
