Being our most popular pedal, we've been asked quite a lot to reduce the size. Offering the same exact features as the big brother PdeQ, except for the toggle switches, it takes less of the precious space on your board. Being smaller, it's twice as complicated to assemble, hence the price.
The Ti-Q is a professional presence and depth guitar EQ pedal designed to emulate your amplifier's presence and resonance/depth controls. This solid state amp enhancement pedal is a game changer for guitarists whose amps lack presence and resonance controls.
Perfect for metal guitar tones and high-gain applications, the Ti-Q delivers the extra OOOMMMPHHH and push needed to cut through the mix. Place this guitar effects pedal at the end of your effects loop, just before the return, to transform your solid state amplifier into a more dynamic, tube-like experience. Bonus, it is handmade in Quebec, Canada.
Ti-Q is derived from the Québécois expression "Ti-cul" which can be either affectionate or mocking, depending on the tone and the context. It's a slang for "little boy, little kid or brat". The literal translation it "little butt" (and you could use a nastier synonym of butt as well). We used it to play with the fact that Q and "cul" are pronounced exactly the same in French, and still play with the "EQ" functionality.

Customers praised this EQ pedal for enhancing amp tone and adding depth. Described as "best EQ ever made," it "gave the amp WAYYY more light and life" in FX loops. The Depth knob adds impact while Presence adds clarity. Highly effective for high-gain tones and IR setups. Compact mini size praised over full-sized version.
I had the full-sized PdeQ but sold it thinking I only needed my pPTSD and I Sea Q.
Then I got an Orange Rocker Terror 15 and while beefy for a lunchbox amp it needed more oomph. The pPTSD is tied up on my other board/rig and the 6 band wasn’t quite getting it there. I decided I needed the PdeQ back.
I was happy to see the mini size Ti-Q. As you can see it was meant to be on my FX loop board. It was the missing part to fill out the sound more like my larger combo. The graphics are cool too and not the usual vinyl.
You guys make awesome stuff, thanks as always!
I am using Impulse Responses instead of an amp. This pedal is always ON for me and I would not like my sound that much without this pedal. The Depth knob increase the woof when chugging so it really give the 4x12 IR a chance to impress. The Presence knob add clarity like a Tone setting on the whole sound.
Thanks for your review and comment! I can confirm it's indeed made by real humans!
Just got the Ti-Q & Plug it into my Victory Kraken VX via FX Loop, it gave the amp WAYYY more light and life! Gonna test out more amps but that amp needed some EQ Mojo 🤝🔥
Honestly, this pedal should be on you wish list for sure 🤘
Great pedal to define and lift the character at High gain on my Orange Dark Terror
Very happy with all my pedals and service provided
