Principais características
- Construção Premium: Made from high-quality aluminum alloy for durability and a balanced weight distribution.
- 10-Band Versatile Equalizer: Features ten independent frequency bands (31.25Hz, 62.5Hz, 125Hz, 250Hz, 500Hz, 1KHz, 2KHz, 4KHz, 8KHz, 16KHz) plus an overall master level band.
- ±12dB Gain / Attenuation: Each frequency band offers five quick-setting points at 0, ±6, and ±12dB for precise sound modulation.
- Portátil e compacto: Designed for easy transport, ensuring resilience against accidental drops.
- True Bypass Design: Ensures signal integrity, delivering transparent and clean tonal quality without unwanted noise or signal loss when the effect is disengaged.
Configuração e conexões
Before operating the pedal, ensure all connections are secure and the power supply meets the required specifications.
- Fonte de energia: The STRICH TEN BAND EQ Pedal requires a DC 9V adapter with a negative center and positive outside polarity. (Note: The power adapter is not included and must be purchased separately.)
- Conexão de entrada: Connect your electric guitar or bass to the "INPUT" jack on the pedal using a standard 1/4-inch instrument cable.
- Conexão de saída: Connect the "OUTPUT" jack of the pedal to your amplifier, sound card, or other effects pedals using a standard 1/4-inch instrument cable.
- Ligar: Once all connections are made, connect the DC 9V power adapter to the pedal's power input. The pedal is now ready for use.

Operando o pedal
The STRICH TEN BAND EQ Pedal provides precise control over your instrument's tone. Familiarize yourself with the sliders to sculpt your sound effectively.
- Bandas de frequência: The pedal features ten horizontal sliders, each corresponding to a specific frequency band: 31.25Hz, 62.5Hz, 125Hz, 250Hz, 500Hz, 1KHz, 2KHz, 4KHz, 8KHz, and 16KHz. These cover the full spectrum of guitar and bass frequencies.
- Gain/Attenuation Control: Each frequency slider allows you to boost or cut the signal for that specific frequency by up to ±12dB. The markings on the pedal indicate 0dB (flat), ±6dB, and ±12dB. Adjusting these sliders up will boost the frequency, while adjusting them down will cut it.
- Level Slider: The "LEVEL" slider on the far right controls the overall output volume of the pedal. Use this to match the volume of your bypassed signal or to provide a volume boost for solos.
- Pedal True Bypass: The footswitch engages or disengages the equalization effect. When disengaged (bypassed), the pedal allows your instrument's signal to pass through without any tonal alteration, preserving the original tone.
