    very sane price point considering all the functionality. It also looks like it was tested well and they added the rail to protect the fragile linear pots. The lights in the pots is killer.

    This pedal is incredible! Most probably the best Ibanez pedal ever!
    Changes my cheap Killer Ant to a 5150 or VH-4 or my equally cheap Tweed Princeton clone to a Rectifier! (At least for recording)
    But also sounds awesome standalone (in combination with a good cabinet IR). Equally well works in front of my SV-20 or Tiny Terror.
    Sound shaping options with the parametric eq are almost infinite, but the basic sound without activated eq already sounds fantastic, very natural and tube amp-like, if not already even better, which is also important for me. Also comparably noiseless working. (My PlexiTone is much noisier in comparison.)
    What more can I wish?

  • @StompboxMods
    @StompboxMods 9 місяців тому +1

    This pedal is awesome, but 3 small things that would’ve made it even better is to be able to route the parametric EQ, volume boost and noise gate into the effects loop via a toggle switch. While the eq with sliders, and the distortion stay in front of the amplifier!!
    So freakin close to a design that I’ve been dreaming for!

    • @mattloughran9817
      @mattloughran9817 Місяць тому

      Yeah I was hoping to get one pedal to use in to boost my old Marshalls or in the loop of modern amps just to shape things up but it looks as though the graphic EQ cannot be used without the gain circuit dirtying things up.

      Hi, richardegmontbade7082! Thanks for your message regarding the Pentatone pedal. There is a TRS jack on the back of the pedal providing external footswitch access to the EQ (access to preboost, as well).

    I'm hoping someone will do a video demonstrating using it as a clean boost with the gain completely off,
    the manual doesn't specify how much gain each boost and level control has
    Like set it up for unity gain on a clean or edge of breakup amp, then show how much boost is available (without distortion)

    • @HEZ63
      @HEZ63 11 місяців тому +1

      You cannot adjust this pedal clean. Lowest gain settings (without any boost on) start with some sort of Tweed Deluxe/Plexi crunch.
      But clean tones you anyway get from every cheap budget tube amp too. But not these high-gain tones....

      @@mattloughran9817 For this purpose maybe a Joyo Band Controller does a better job. I often use it only as neutral boost or even as gain level reducer to simulate a not existing amp low input and the 10 bands allow good sound shaping too.

    Sounds great. Maybe they'll do a next level with amp sim and fx loop? Not sure why it needed bass/treble knobs, but maybe there's an application.

      The bass and treble knobs are for the preamp, always on. The five band EQ is switchable for additional tone shaping for a whole different sound. I definitely would love this feature.

    • @sweetwater
      @sweetwater  Рік тому +2

      Hi, Gregory. The boosts and EQ only work when the pedal is turned on. You could switch them on and off to have a certain tone ready to go when you switch the pedal on, but you wouldn’t be able to to use the boosts or EQ independently of the rest of the pedal. Also, to switch the Pre Boost and EQ on and off, you’ll need the optional 2-button footswitch as well.
      Thanks for your interest!

      Shame that the distortion circuit must be engaged to enjoy the eq and pre boost. Hopefully Ibanez adds that functionality in V2. It would really add some value as a tone shaper and distortion pedal.

    Can this unit be used as a transparent EQ alone? The gain and gate options are rad but I would like to get one pedal that functions in front of an amp and can shape up an already heavy tone in the loop without adding any more gain. I was just gonna get the old faithful BOSS GE-7 until I saw this beast...

    • @sweetwater
      @sweetwater  Місяць тому

      Hi, thanks for your interest! You certainly could use the EQ without engaging the boost or gate. If you’re not going to use those other features, though, they do have another pedal which is just the EQ on its own:

      Thanks for your message, great question. Most of the demos do show the pedal being used with guitar. That said, I’d absolutely use it on bass. Either split so there’s a parallel dry path or less gain if playing direct through it to aide in clarity.

      If you're asking if you can keep using the EQ when the distortion circuit is bypassed, unfortunately not, BUT they're releasing the Pentatone EQ section as it's own pedal soon - I believe June or July. I'm waiting on that one, myself.
