Tonal profile

The five-band graphic EQ from Mesa/Boogie's Mark-series amps in a pedal, with the same long-throw sliders plus input and output level controls that each allow up to 6 dB of boost. It is mostly used to add the classic 'V-curve' mid scoop, in front of an amp or in its effects loop, and it is hard-bypassed when off.
