Phil Jones Bass PE-5 Multi-Function Pedal Phil Jones Bass ( PJB ) has released the PE-5 , a pedal designed for bass guitar and upright bass that incorporates a five-band EQ and also offers superior function as a preamp , direct box , and signal booster .
The PE-5 is engineered with a unique switchable input impedance , which allows the pedal to match exactly to either a magnetic or piezo pickup . It achieves the full band spectrum for either pickup source . In addition , it is a signal booster that compensates for low-output pickups and will also provide ample drive for any amplifier . The input level and gain controls are designed to match the pickup output to an amplifier . The line output is strong enough to use directly into a power amplifier or a powered speaker .
The five-band EQ is a high-precision equalizer , which means that each boost or cut level is identical to each adjacent band — plus , the Q factor of each band is identical . This makes it easier for the player to accomplish the tone that they are pursuing . These frequency bands were chosen for the voice of a bass so that the user will be able to adjust the EQ rapidly to get the desired sound .
