Source Audio EQ2 Programmable EQ Effects Pedal

The Source Audio EQ2 Programmable EQ is one of the most powerful and versatile equalizer pedals ever made. Building on the success of the original Programmable EQ (famously used by David Gilmour, Steven Wilson, and John Mayer), the EQ2 combines a 10-band graphic and parametric equalizer, stereo I/O, MIDI control, onboard presets, and a built-in tuner — all in one compact stompbox.

With 10 fully adjustable frequency bands (31 Hz – 16 kHz), ±18 dB of boost or cut, and flexible stereo routing, the EQ2 offers unmatched tone-shaping possibilities for guitar, bass, keys, and any other electrified instrument.
