Two Distortion Modes and Five-band EQ

The Mesa/Boogie Throttle Box EQ distortion pedal serves up two distinct distortion modes, and tops it off with the sonic-sculpting power of a five-band graphic EQ. You've got footswitch control over the two distortion modes, so you can turn on extra tonal tenacity when you're playing live. A popular feature among Sweetwater guitarists is that you can assign the five-band EQ to either or both channels, giving you a wide range of tone in a single pedal. Factor in the powerful mid-cut and boost controls, and you're ready to dial in virtually any distortion tone with the Mesa/Boogie Throttle Box EQ.

Metalheads can't deny the instant sonic aggression you get from plugging into the Throttle Box distortion pedal, but the high-gain tones aren't the only flavor this box offers. With selectable low- and high-gain settings, separate tone and mid-cut controls, and extra signal boost via the master level control, there's a lot of ground you can cover. Get to know the Throttle Box, and you'll be dialing in blues, classic rock, and fusion tones before you know it.
