Product Description:

Introducing the Origin Effects M-EQ Driver Mid Booster and Drive Pedal, a perfect blend of vintage charm and modern ingenuity. This pedal is heavily inspired by a legendary equalizer unit, offering an enticing mix of analog warmth and tube-style harmonic saturation.

The M-EQ Driver is equipped with standard overdrive controls for Level and Drive, and they are capable of delivering a wide spectrum of sound, from a subtle rasp to a roaring crunch. What sets this pedal apart, however, is the 3-way KCS switch. This switch isn't just a gimmick, it's the heart of the M-EQ Driver's "Mid Booster" capability, allowing for selection among three different midrange frequencies to boost, thereby unlocking a new level of fine-tuning for your sound.

The M-EQ Driver also features an innovative Cut knob, powered by Origin Effects' revolutionary Adaptive Circuitry. This feature reduces high-end roll-off when the pedal cleans up, making it perfect for dynamic transitions between rich, warm overdrive and clean tones. If you're searching for an overdrive pedal with exceptional tone-shaping potential and a dash of vintage flavor, the Origin Effects M-EQ Driver is an excellent choice.
