Volume, boost & expression effect pedal
The ZEQD-Pre is an all-analog tube preamplifier that combines EarthQuaker Devices' pedal design ingenuity with Dr. Z Amplification's decades of tube amp expertise. With three-band passive EQ, professional headphone output, balanced XLR output and built-in analog speaker simulation, the ZEQD-Pre delivers authentic tube warmth and dynamic response in a true analog amplification system that fits right on your pedalboard.
This pedal is a simple, modern tool, designed to give you all the organic character and dynamic response of a tube amp in a compact, practical format. No complicated menus. No IR loading. No firmware updates. No 0, 1 or other digital parameter between you and your sound. The ZEQD-Pre is the analog solution to your digital worries.
The ZEQD-Pre uses an EF86 pentode, the same tube that gives many Dr. Z amps their pristine hi-fi sound and makes them particularly pedal-responsive platforms, with dynamic, nuanced touch sensitivity, full-spectrum hi-fi clarity and EQ that's both predictable and extremely responsive.
