The pedal's EQ can restore high frequencies lost when using octave pedals, especially useful in setups with cajons and electric violins.

Some users run the EQ between a mic and octave pedals, enhancing the sound texture for acoustic instruments like cajons, with connections to PA systems and powered subwoofers.

The pedal's versatility allows users to create unique sonic textures, such as simulating a "dobro" sound by maximizing and minimizing adjacent EQ channels.

Three-in-one
This pedal clones three classic Dan Armstrong effects, the Orange Squeezer, the Green Ringer and the Blue Clipper. They all sound great, and are greatly enhanced by the blend knobs. The filter knob works on the Clipper part, the comp knob is a bias control for the Squeezer. Sounds best between 10 and 11 o'clock, becomes extremely squashy around 12 and cuts out after 1 o'clock. This is intentional, as FETs have a somewhat unpredictable bias range. The Squeezer in itself isn't a very versatile compressor, but what it does, it does extremely well. The Ringer is a classic analog octave-up; in combination with the Clipper, it makes a decent octave-fuzz. Ring-modulating chaos results from playing anything but unisons and octaves.
The Clipper alone is very high-gain, and cleans up well from the guitar volume. Sounds somewhere in between a Big Muff and a MXR Distortion+. With the clipper just partially blended in with the compressor, the pedal is a great semi-dirty boost for the next gain stage. I use it to push a DOD Carcosa set to a slighly fuzzy medium-gain overdrive into a clean Twin Reverb.
