CALIFORNIA WUB Continuum EQ Galaxy Man Edition
California Wub · pedal
The California Wub Continuum EQ Galaxy Man Edition is a limited-edition version of the California Wub Continuum EQ parametric EQ pedal. It shares the same circuit as the standard Continuum EQ — Frequency, Resonance, and Band controls for precise parametric centre-frequency shaping, plus Low and High shelving — in a special cosmetic finish. The Galaxy Man designation refers to the limited visual design rather than a circuit modification. Compatible with 9V and 12V power supplies.
What stands out
“The underlying parametric EQ circuit is unchanged, providing the same Frequency, Resonance, and Band parametric control alongside Low and High shelving that define the Continuum EQ platform”
— from the community notes
“The Galaxy Man Edition shares identical tonal characteristics and functionality with the standard Continuum EQ, with the limited-edition cosmetic finish as the sole differentiator”
— from the community notes
“The parametric Frequency and Resonance controls define a precise EQ centre point, the Band knob boosts or cuts at that frequency, and the Low and High shelving controls add broad tonal adjustment”
— from the reviews
“Players who seek this version typically do so for the visual appeal or collectability of the limited run”
