The "Province DE Quebec" is a new EQ from GUP Tech. But it's not just another EQ, here's a pedal to emulate the effect of the Presence and Resonance/Depth tone on your amp.
It's a game changer if your amp doesn't come with a Presence/Resonance (depth) knobs and you play chugging metal tones. This, at the end of your loop, just before the return, will give the extra OOOMMMPHHH and push to get out in the mix and hear yourself better.
There's other options out there, but the Amptweaker DepthFinder is pretty hard to find (here in Canada).
Simple Presence (with on-off toggle) and Depth (with on-off toggle) controls. With both toggles Off, the pedal will act like a buffer. This pedal can compete in the Amptweaker Depth Finder range.

Power consumption : 20mA

Design note : Il faut assurément mentionner 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.
For our English friends, we need to explain that this pedal is a proud banner of the Quebec (Canada province) flag and license plates. The PdeQ is our hommage to our hometown province, just like the Ottawa-Wah is an hommage to our country.
Put this in the effects loop of my Orange Supercrush on the advice of several forum posts. The PedQ adds clarity and articulation to the top end and thump to the low. Big difference in sound and response. A lot more “tube” like on an already great affordable amp. Highly recommended for any of the Orange solid state amps with an effects loop.
Excellent pedal, solved problem with my Mesa Boogie TC-50 combo amplifier. Channel 2 on the amp is EXTREMELY thin and bright. The depth control on the pedal solved the problem and gave me exactly the sound I was looking for.
The PdeQ is THE pedal every guitar player should have on the pedal board. It makes such a huge difference to the delivery of your tone before it hits the speakers or any other destination like your recording setup. Especially when you are using a solid state power amp you're definitely missing this step in the signal chain. My sound really came to life and has the punch and presence it was missing before. I can only recommend this pedal, which is also made very well, feels very sturdy and will hopefully last forever.
This pedal is incredible and powerful. I hooked it up in the effects loop of several amps. Orange super crush 120, Randall kh120 and a mesa JP-2C. It brought them all to life in ways I never thought was possible. Especially the orange
Bought to use with a Synergy Syn-20IR as it didn't quite have the low-end punch I wanted when using it through a speaker cabinet (xlr direct out not an issue). This pedal makes the amp sound a lot more full and punchy placed at the end of my fx loop pedal chain. Works great and is quite affordable!
