Curveball Junior - 3-band Parameteric EQ with Dual Boost Modes
Amptweaker's Curveball Junior is a versatile 3-band parametric EQ that doubles as a powerful preamp and boost. This pedal is a sonic Swiss Army knife, giving players the tools to sculpt their tone with precision and creativity. At the heart of the Curveball is its flexible EQ section. The selectable mid-range setting allows you to emulate the voicing of classic American, British, or "thrash" amplifiers, giving you a wide palette of tonal colors to work with. The low and high bands provide smooth, musical shelving EQ, letting you tighten up the bottom end or add sparkle on top. But the real magic happens when you start tweaking the mid-range - the peaking mid control can deliver everything from scooped, wah-like tones to a thick, saturated midrange punch. The Curveball's dual boost modes take this pedal to the next level. Engage the primary boost for a clean, transparent volume lift, perfect for solos or pushing your amp into overdrive. Activate the secondary boost, and you'll unlock up to 10dB of extra gain - ideal for sending your distortion pedals into glorious, saturated mayhem. Whether you use it as a flexible front-end preamp, a tone-shaping boost, or a secret weapon in your amp's effects loop, the Curveball Junior is a versatile and musical tool that belongs on any discerning guitarist's pedalboard. Amptweaker has packed a ton of tone-sculpting power into this compact package.
