The Donner EQ Seeker is a compact analog 10-band graphic equalizer pedal, suitable for a variety of instruments. A graphic equalizer lets you cut or boost fixed frequency bands with individual sliders, so you can dial in tone changes without sweeping a single knob. RockBoard's PedalPedia describes the EQ Seeker as featuring ten selected frequency bands that allow you to precisely shape your tone using the sliders onboard1.
Controls
The front panel carries the ten band sliders plus one extra control:
- Ten frequency band sliders: each shapes one of the ten selected frequency bands, cutting or boosting that part of your tone1
- A-LEVEL slider: for boosting or eliminating your output level, so you can raise or lower the pedal's overall volume on top of the tone shaping1
That A-LEVEL control makes the EQ Seeker usable as a volume trim as well as a tone shaper, which is a common way players use an EQ pedal: set the bands for the sound you want, then use the level slider to match loudness. For where a pedal like this sits on a board, see Equalization Pedals.
Power
The EQ Seeker runs on 9V DC with a center negative plug, the standard arrangement for pedals, and RockBoard's PedalPedia lists its current draw as 100mA1.
At 100mA, the EQ Seeker draws more current than many simple analog pedals. If you power several pedals from one supply or daisy chain, make sure the outlet you use can supply 100mA.

What powers the Donner EQ Seeker?
The EQ Seeker runs on 9V DC with a center negative polarity, the standard pedal power arrangement. Donner lists its current draw as 100mA, so it is worth checking that your power supply can supply that on the outlet you use, especially if you power several pedals from one supply.
