Presented as the ultimate weapon for forging your guitar tone into a sonic beast, while simultaneously cranking your signal to obliterate the next stage of your signal chain, the Solar Chug EQ Boost is the third pedal in the Chug series by Solar Guitars, the company of Swedish guitarist, record producer, and online persona Ola Englung.
Channeling the spirit of legendary parametric equalizers that the gods of metal wielded to carve their iconic sounds, this pedal unleashes infinite tonal devastation. With a high-pass filter to slice through the mix, high-frequency shelving to pierce the heavens, and fully parametric midrange and bass controls to summon the darkest depths, the EQ BOOST is your gateway to any tone yu may want to feed your distortion and fuzz pedals with – like its eviler sibling the original Solar Chug.
Each of the three bands can be cranked or crushed, with separate input and output level controls. The LED shifts color to warn you when you’re pushing into face-melting clipping territory. Built with cutting-edge circuitry, this pedal delivers bone-crushing boost and EQ with razor-sharp clarity and whisper-quiet noise levels, all housed in the same indestructible, battle-ready CHUG chassis as Solar’s other pedals.
The EQ BOOST reigns supreme in any setup: in front of your amp to ignite the front end, in the FX loop to dominate your tone stack, anywhere in your pedalboard chain, before or after amp-in-a-box pedals and modelers, or even before your recording interface to lay down tracks that sound like the apocalypse. And yeah, it absolutely slays on bass too.
