The Spaceman EQP-PDX is a special edition of the Equinox, an analog studio-style EQ pedal from Spaceman Effects. Spaceman describes the Equinox as "an expansive tone shaping tool inspired by studio equalizers of the past," saying the company analyzed those classic circuits in designing it. The EQP-PDX version uses "the last of the fully analog, handmade and hand-wired original Equinox circuits," which makes it a closing chapter for the original design rather than a new one1.
It is a limited edition of 11 pedals, finished in an industrial gray powder-coat enclosure with a blue-gray engraved faceplate in what Spaceman calls a minimalistic 1951 style, and it carries a red jewel indicator. The pedal is sold out1.
The EQP-PDX is sold out and was limited to 11 units, so it is no longer available from Spaceman Effects directly1.

"the last of the fully analog, handmade and hand-wired original Equinox circuits"
What it does to your sound
Spaceman describes the Equinox's circuit as having discrete high-headroom input and output stages, which the maker says make it suited to handle a variety of input sources while providing "tons of warm vintage character"1. In practical terms, a high-headroom input stage is aimed at accepting different signal sources without clipping early, so the pedal can sit at the front of a chain or take a line-level signal.
As an EQ, it shapes tone by cutting and boosting frequency bands rather than adding gain, and it sits alongside other equalization pedals as a tone-shaping tool rather than a time or modulation effect. What the maker says it offers comes down to:
- Fully analog signal path1
- Discrete high-headroom input and output stages1
- Suited to a variety of input sources1
- "Tons of warm vintage character," in Spaceman's words1
