Description

The Homebrew Electronics HBE Detox EQ is a boutique treble and presence-focused equalizer pedal developed with input from Paul Gilbert, designed to cut through a dense mix with a brighter, more articulate lead tone rather than functioning as a full-range graphic EQ. It works as a always-on style tone-shaping utility, boosting upper frequencies to add clarity and pick-attack definition without the broad gain increase a boost pedal would add. The circuit gained enough of a following in the boutique pedal community that other small builders have since released their own clones and tributes to it, a sign of its reputation among players chasing a brighter, more cutting lead voice.

Peterson Strobe Tuner represents the worlds most accurate tuning technology, guaranteeing 1/10th cent accuracy through patented strobe display methodology. Available in multiple formats including clip-on, pedal, and desktop models, Peterson tuners feature high-definition displays and support for over 50 sweetened tunings and alternate temperaments.
