Ivy Pedals Tone Zone

Ivy · pedal

The Ivy Pedals Tone Zone is an analog tone and level pedal built from filters rather than a conventional EQ tone stack, with a LO control setting the high-frequency limit (a low-pass filter), a HI control setting the low-frequency limit (a high-pass filter), and a Level control for positive gain. This filter-based approach lets players quickly narrow or widen the frequency content passing through, rather than boosting or cutting fixed EQ bands, for straightforward tone shaping without unpredictable interactions. Buffered bypass keeps the signal consistent in a chain. It suits players wanting simple, quick, no-surprises tone and level adjustment through frequency filtering rather than a traditional EQ.
