Shape your tone with vintage recording heritage using the Origin Effects M-EQ Driver. This guitar pedal reimagines the classic 1950s Pultec studio EQ as a versatile mid-booster and overdrive. Origin Effects, a British brand celebrated for bringing studio-grade signal processors to guitarists, built this unit in the UK using premium components and a transformer-equipped circuit to deliver rich harmonics and tube-like saturation.
You can choose from three mid-boost frequencies (0.8, 1.0, and 1.3 kHz) to complement any guitar, adjusting your sound from a clean mid emphasis to an intense, resonant distortion. The built-in adaptive circuit features a dynamic cut control that automatically adjusts high frequencies, allowing a smooth shift from warm overdrive to bright clean tones just by tweaking your volume knob or playing dynamics. It also offers a high-quality buffered bypass and an ultra-high input impedance.
Measuring 124 x 58 x 64 mm and weighing 500 g, the pedal requires a standard 9VDC power adapter, which is not included. This item is offered as part of a web clearance sale, so it may arrive as a former store display unit, have minor cosmetic scratches, or come in a damaged box.
Origin Effects M-EQ DRIVER mid booster and overdrive pedal, designed around the musical EQ curves of 1950s Pultec studio equalizers and optimized for electric guitar. Features selectable mid-boost frequencies of 0.8, 1.0, and 1.3 kHz, transformer-equipped circuitry, a tube-like push-pull output stage, ultra-high input impedance, and high-quality buffered bypass.
The MIDS and DRIVE controls balance mid emphasis and overdrive, ranging from clean mid boost to resonant distortion. The CUT control provides adaptive high-frequency roll-off, and the ADAPT switch reduces this roll-off as the pedal cleans up for smooth transitions from warm overdrive to bright clean tones.
