Ibanez PTPRE Pentatone Guitar Preamp

zZounds Gear Experts Say...
Achieve extraordinary tone-shaping control and dynamic distortion with ease! Ibanez's Pentatone guitar preamp offers 5 shaping sections and a parametric EQ.

Extraordinary tone shaping control, dynamic arrays of distortion and exceptional amounts of EQ are all laid out at your feet. The Pentatone PTPRE preamp from Ibanez affords the perfect blend of features all wrapped up in an intuitive, all-analog platform.

This preamp brings together five individual tone shaping sections in the form of a pre boost, distortion with two band EQ, a noise gate, 5-band parametric EQ, and post boost. The pedal also includes a bright switch, which enhances treble response by boosting the high frequency range.

The two integrated footswitches control the preamp bypass and post boost functions, while adding an Ibanez IFS2L external foot-switch enhances the player's control even further by also making the pre-boost and 5-band parametric EQ foot-switchable. From simple tone shaping, to crunchy overdrive and even the most crushing distortion, the Pentatone preamp covers it all.

Features:

- PRE BOOST pushes gain section but can also be used to reduce the input signal level
- POST BOOST raises the overall signal level
- BRIGHT switch brings out more brightness and rolls off some low end
- Dedicated DISTORTION section with 2-band EQ for bass and treble

You can get a good array of great tones out of this pedal. The most powerful tool on it is the EQ which changes it's entire character to whatever you want. The noise gate is a little more intrusive than some but does control noise. My only complaint is that it whistles, on or off, whenever you aren't playing.
