Artec SE-Peq Parametric Equalizer
Artec · pedal
The Artec SE-PEQ is a parametric equalizer pedal from South Korean manufacturer Artec. Unlike graphic EQ designs with fixed center frequencies, the SE-PEQ allows continuous control of the target frequency across 10Hz to 20kHz, with gain from -12 to +12 dB and a Q bandwidth control that sets the width of the frequency band being boosted or cut. This precision makes it suitable for surgical tone shaping that graphic EQ cannot achieve. Designed for professional players who need precise frequency control for recording or live performance tone correction.
What stands out
“Tone: fully parametric EQ with continuously variable frequency, gain, and bandwidth allows precise tone sculpting”
