Wampler Equator Parametric EQ
Wampler · pedal
The Wampler EQuator is an advanced active four-band guitar equalizer with Bass and Treble shelving boosts and cuts at fixed frequencies plus two semi-parametric mid bands, all feeding a master volume that can deliver the EQ louder or softer. It is voiced specifically for guitar, with the Bass knob offering 19dB of cut or boost at 130Hz, the frequency that defines the low-end thump of a 4x12 cab, and the mids adding sparkle and definition to chords. The volume control lets players manage overall level from the board while leaving amp settings alone, without getting muddy. It suits players wanting precise, guitar-optimized tone shaping, level control, and the ability to revoice their sound or correct problem frequencies in a versatile, transparent EQ and boost pedal.
