Throttlebox EQ

The new THROTTLE BOX EQ™ combines the enhanced shaping power of the popular Boogie Five Band Graphic Equalizer with footswitchable HI/LO performance Modes and easy Top Panel access to the previously internal BOOST feature. Like the original, this expanded THROTTLE BOX includes two modes but here they are controlled by a HI/LO footswitch that enables you to have two gain regions to choose from during live performance. The EQ can be assigned to either or both of these Gain Mode choices so that it becomes active with the desired Gain Mode selection. There’s also a MID CUT control that allows global scooping of the mids in addition to whatever you might do with the Graphic sliders. SSP £249
