Mesa Boogie Throttle Box EQ

  • Sale
  • Regular price $250.00


The Throttle Box EQ Pedal from Mesa/Boogie combines the enhanced tone shaping power of the popular Boogie Five-Band Graphic Equalizer with footswitchable HI/LO performances Modes and easy "Top Panel" access to the previously internal Boost feature of the original Throttle Box. The middle range of the Gain control delivers tight, stinging overdrive that covers anything from blues to modern metal with plenty of attitude. Cranking it into the upper one-third of the Gain control in HI unleashes a blistering tone with searing high-end harmonics. Like the original, this expanded Throttle Box includes two Modes, but on this version they're controlled by a HI/LO footswitch that provides two Gain regions to choose from during live performance. There are also HI level and LO level output controls, allowing the desired volume level for each gain mode to be set individually. Additionally, a boost switch, initially hidden under the bottom plate on the original Throttle Box, now appears as an easily accessible top panel boost switch for extra girth and a bit of gain enhancement when your sound needs a little extra push.
