FTelettronica 3 Band Parametric Equalizer
Ftelettronica · pedal
The FTelettronica 3 Band Parametric Equalizer is a three-band parametric EQ pedal from Italian boutique manufacturer FTelettronica, giving Low, Mid, and High bands each independent frequency selection plus boost/cut control rather than the fixed-frequency bands of a standard graphic EQ. This lets players target the exact resonant or problem frequency in each band rather than adjusting a preset frequency range, enabling precise tonal correction or shaping for guitar and bass. It's hand-assembled in Italy with premium components. It suits players who understand frequency-based tone shaping and want surgical EQ control rather than a simple bass/mid/treble tilt.
