Origin Effects M-EQ Drive

About the M-EQ Driver
The M-EQ DRIVER is a mid booster & drive pedal, based on a vintage Pultec® studio EQ. This unique pedal offers a
range of mid-focused tones, from a subtle mid boost to thick, resonant overdrive and features the Adaptive Circuitry
recently introduced on our Halcyon Green Overdrive. The M-EQ Driver is a pedal with a character all of its own and
offers a new flavour of mid boost and drive.

Still sought after today, the passive Pultec® EQs of the 1950s can be heard on thousands of hit records thanks to
their highly musical, versatile EQ curves and the ability to overdrive their push-pull output stage. Rather than an
exact replica, we have chosen to reimagine this classic piece of studio gear as a guitar-oriented, compact pedal,
with a harmonically rich, transformer-equipped circuit recreating the sonic footprint of the original.

A choice of three mid-range frequencies ensures that you can boost just the right part of your guitar signal and,
when pushed harder, can elicit a range of saturation from a classic “mid-hump” overdrive to fierce “cocked wah”
distortion. Thanks to the Adaptive Circuitry, the high-end roll-off of the Cut control is reduced as the pedal cleans
up. This allows for a smooth transition from warm overdrive to bright clean tones in response to playing dynamics
or guitar volume knob changes.

Built in the UK to the highest standards, the M-EQ DRIVER continues the Origin Effects tradition of vintage, studio-
inspired tones in modern guitar pedals. Full details will be available at www.origineffects.com at time of launch.
