La "Province DE Québec" est un nouvel EQ de GUP Tech. Mais ce n'est pas juste un autre égaliseur, voici une pédale pour émuler l'effet de la tonalité de présence et de résonance/profondeur sur votre ampli.
Cela change la donne si votre ampli n'est pas équipé de boutons de présence/résonance (profondeur) et que vous jouez des sons métalliques étouffants. Ceci, à la fin de votre boucle, juste avant le retour, donnera le OOOMMMPHHH supplémentaire et poussera pour sortir dans le mix et mieux s'entendre.
Il existe d'autres options, mais l'Amptweaker DepthFinder est assez difficile à trouver (ici au Canada).
Commandes de présence simple (avec bascule marche-arrêt) et de profondeur (avec bascule marche-arrêt). Avec les deux bascules Off, la pédale agira comme un tampon. Cette pédale peut rivaliser dans la gamme Amptweaker Depth Finder.
Si vous souhaitez une enceinte plus étincelante, jetez un coup d'œil à l' édition PdeQ Douche
Consommation électrique : 20mA
Tension : 9Vdc centre négatif
Note de conception : Il faut assurément adresser le fait que cette pédale arbore les couleurs des plaques d'immatriculation du Québec, ainsi que la fleur de lys sur le logo. D'un bleu pétant, en contraste avec le blanc, le rappel au drapeau du Québec est également très remarquable.
Pour nos amis anglais, il faut expliquer que cette pédale est une fière bannière du drapeau et des plaques d'immatriculation du Québec (province du Canada). Le PdeQ est notre hommage à notre province natale, tout comme l' Ottawa-Wah est un hommage à notre pays.
I literally leave the PdeQ on all the time! It’s an absolute must have. I’m running it through a mesa MV and this pedal adds the depth I’ve been looking for. GUP Tech knocked it out of the park, you won’t be disappointed.
A redonné la présence qu’il manquait à mon vieil ampli Genz-Benz El Diablo
Using a Runt 50 head that doesn’t have depth control. Now this amp can melt your face AND thump you in the chest. Fantastic customer service
I have a handful of amps that lack some combination of presence and depth/resonance controls, but have effects loops on them. After seeing some YouTube reviews of the (now-discontinued) Amptweaker Depth Finder, I wound up down the rabbit hole of trying to find a suitable substitute. I landed on Kyle Bull's video review of the PdeQ.
The PdeQ is not only a suitable substitute for the Depth Finder, but it does even more, thanks to the toggleable Depth and Presence bands, so you can tailor the EQ boost to your specific amplifier. I've found that it works particularly well for adding some "oomph" to solid state amplifiers that otherwise have a tendency to get too muddy to be usable if the bass is dialed up. Depending on the amp, it also helps add some top-end clarity without the usual treble control fizz. Specifically, I am thinking of my Scorpion-equipped Peavey Bandit 112 combo, which sorely needs all the help it can get in the 5 KHz+ range, and also gets pretty muddy with the bass turned up past about 2 or 3 o' clock. I am also eager to try it out with my Marshall Valvestate head to see how well the presence control plays with the normally hissy top-end. It should also be handy for some preamp pedal + Blackstar AMPED1 shenanigans, since the AMPED1 only has a three-band tone stack, but does have an effects loop in line before the power tube modeler.
Overall, the PdeQ has some impressive utility, and while it may not have a place on everyone's board, it is invaluable for those situations where you really need to sculpt an amp's sub-bass and/or presence response.
I began experimenting with preamp pedals a little while ago as I wanted to do something other than ampsims and make something more interesting for myself. I had been running a chain of overdrive into preamp then direct to interface and into an ir loader. Let me tell you this was the missing piece that I needed. WOW! It made my preamp come to life, even at 0. Very inspiring setup. If you're running a board with a preamp and not using a poweramp with depth and presence capabilities do yourself a favour and get one of these. It really makes a huge difference. My setup now sounds clearer with a lot more punch in the lows. Also the customer support is amazing! Can't say enough good things and I'll be back for more.
