Furman · effects unit
The Furman PQ-4 Parametric EQ is a four-band parametric equalizer spanning 20 Hz to 20 kHz with +20 to -40 dB boost and cut per band: Band 1 (20-400 Hz), Band 2 (75 Hz-1.5 kHz), Band 3 (250 Hz-5 kHz), Band 4 (1.2-20 kHz). Famous as the key to Dimebag Darrell's Pantera Cowboys From Hell tone, it brings treble crunch to metal guitars, clarity to bass, and acoustic separation. An amazing tone shaper pre or post distortion, capable of cleaning up or fattening any amp signature.
