EQ Boost
Professional parametric EQ and boost pedal with fully adjustable low and mid bands, semi-parametric highs, high-pass filter, and massive +20dB gain boost for surgical tone-sculpting.
Announced in early 2025, Chug EQ Boost represents Solar Guitars' most sophisticated tone-shaping tool, drawing inspiration from parametric equalizers favored by metal legends in studio and live environments. Pedal offers unprecedented control over tone with comprehensive 3-band EQ system featuring fully parametric bass and midrange controls, semi-parametric high frequency shelving, and configurable high-pass filter, all backed by powerful +20dB gain boost.
Control layout features 11 parameters across five dual-concentric pots: Input Level, High Pass, High Level, High Freq, Mid Level, Mid Bandwidth, Mid Freq, Output Level, Low Level, Low Bandwidth, and Low Freq. Parametric low and mid frequency bands each offer independent control over level (boost/cut), center frequency selection, and bandwidth (Q factor), providing surgical precision for tone-sculpting. LED indicator changes color to signal when clipping occurs, allowing players to optimize gain staging. High-pass filter helps eliminate low-frequency rumble and tighten up high-gain tones, critical feature for extended-range guitars and drop tunings common in modern metal.
EQ Boost excels in multiple applications: in front of amplifiers for tone-shaping, within effects loops for post-preamp EQ adjustment, anywhere in pedalboard signal chain, before or after amp-in-a-box pedals and modelers, and directly before recording interfaces to achieve pristine studio recordings. Whether crafting crushing high-gain tones or sparkling clean sounds, EQ Boost provides comprehensive tools for achieving professional tones both live and in studio. Pedal delivers low noise specifications and unmatched clarity, packaged in same iron-clad chassis as other Chug series pedals.
