Sculpt Your Tone with This Killer EQ!

Take total control of your guitar tone with the Whirlwind Perfect Ten guitar graphic equalizer pedal. This incredible EQ pedal was designed by none other than Tony Gambacurta, an undisputed master of equalizer design. Combining studio-quality sound with the fast and precise controls of a traditional graphic equalizer, the Perfect Ten gives you the clear sound you need plus the massive tone shaping potential you've always wanted. And it's great for more than just guitar. You can use you Whirlwind Perfect Ten graphic EQ pedal on any instrument-level source.

Whirlwind Perfect Ten Guitar Graphic Equalizer Stompbox Processor at a Glance:
  • Constant Q graphic equalizer guarantees precision tone shaping
  • Created by Tony Gambacurta, the guru of modern EQ design
  • Made in America and built tough enough for touring
Constant Q graphic equalizer guarantees precision tone shaping

There are two basic kinds of analog equalizer designs: older gyrator models and more modern constant Q models, such as Whirlwind's Perfect Ten pedal. Gyrator EQs used a complex series of capacitors and induction coils to affect each frequency band. However, the relative bandwidth (highest to lowest frequency affected) of each section of this kind of EQ gets narrower the more you boost or cut it. That leads to strange phase issues and unpredictable results. Each band on the Perfect Ten's constant EQ, on the other hand, remains constant no matter how much you boost or cut it, allowing you to tweak your tone with surgical precision.

Created by Tony Gambacurta, the guru of modern EQ design

You probably haven't heard of Tony Gambacurta before, but in the analog processing world, the man's a legend. Between his time crafting rock-solid stompboxes for Dunlop's MXR division, conjuring up graphic EQs for ART, and pushing the creative envelope at Whirlwind, Gambacurta's easily racked up more than 35 years of professional processor design. Suffice it to say that the Perfect Ten pedal is far from an off-the-shelf graphic EQ. Specifically tuned to the unique tonal nuances and dynamic characteristics of guitar signal, you'll get the kind of control over your sound you've always wanted with this quality equalizer.

Made in America and built tough enough for touring

Not only is the Perfect Ten graphic equalizer pedal made in the U.S., but it's built with the same extreme toughness that all of Whirlwind's stage-ready gear in known for. For you touring and working guitarists, this means never having to worry about your sound cutting out or any delicate circuitry falling apart just due to the routine abuse any gear onstage is bound to go through. Don't let the studio-quality sound fool you, this rugged stompbox EQ was built for life on the road.

Whirlwind Perfect Ten Guitar Graphic Equalizer Stompbox Processor Features:
  • An ideal way to take absolute control of your guitar tone
  • Studio-quality 10-band equalizer that's been optimized for guitar and built into a stage-ready stompbox
  • 10-band constant Q equalizer lets you target specific frequency ranges with surgical precision
  • Circuit design created by industry legend Tony Gambacurta
  • 18V power supply included
Get the perfect tonal balance from your guitar rig with the Perfect Ten EQ pedal by Whirlwind!

Excellent must have pedal…

This 10 band eq is just awesome, I love it. This pedal is completely silent and lets you fine tune any tone your after. If you think your amp sounds good the way it is I promise this eq will make it sound way better. I've used this with my MT15 and with my Blackstar ht5rh mkii both of those amps sound great standalone but sound so much better with the whirlwind. Currently I'm running it first in the fx loop, It fits my needs best there but it sounds great in front as well. There are multiple ways you can use it, you can use it as a boost or even a third channel if you want, in my opinion it's a must have pedal on your board. Just wanted to give this pedal a huge thumbs up, If you're in the market for an eq you will not be disappointed with this choice. As always a big giant thumbs up to Sweetwater as well, simply the best!

Great EQ

I use it in front of my tube amps as a sculpted boost or in the loop to surgically add/cut frequencies with great success. If you need an EQ pedal on your pedal board for any reason you honestly can't go wrong with this one.

Something else!

It's fantastic quality with incredible low noise. Very new to using graphic equalizers. Switching between many different styles of guitars and basses, there is more than enough bands to create a balanced signal. Would highly recommend.

Perfect

Player for 30+ years. Owns lots and lots and lots of guitar related gear...

It"s quiet, and it sounds very smooth and natural. I just love how you can craft your tone prior to recording- you can get any tone... it"s a beautiful thing.
