GFI System releases ENIEQMA stereo EQ and boost pedal
December 7, 2023 · 4 sources
The GFI System Enieqma was reported by Guitar Pedal X on December 7, 2023. The maker describes it as a multipurpose equalizer combining a 5-band full parametric EQ, a simple EQ class with 7 classic tone stacks, and a 3-band midrange equalizer that emulates the Pultec Midrange EQ processor1.
The pedal runs true stereo EQ processors, with left and right channel parameters linkable or independent, and a display that renders both EQ curves at once1. Two EQ engines can be stacked and run together1. Guitar Pedal X lists 64 presets, master volume and input level trim, an optional limiter and stereo expander, three routing configurations (mono to stereo, dual mono, and stereo to mono), MIDI input and thru, and an aux switch input2. The maker's prototype library holds 44 settings for ParaEQ mode, 12 for SimplEQ mode and 12 for PultEQ mode, and may be expanded through firmware updates1. Guitar Pedal X lists the Simple EQ tone stacks as Fender amp, Marshall amp, Vox amp, 2-band Baxandall, wah, tilt EQ and scooped tilt EQ2.
