Graphic EQ pedals are great, however if you want ultimate control over your EQ then nothing can quite sculpt your tone like a parametric EQ. Here are some of the ways I've been using mine. The Enieqma by GFI System is one of the best I've ever come across. With a detailed graphic interface very similar to EQ you find on DAW applications. https://www.gfisystem.com/enieqma 00:00 - Intro 00:30 - Shelving Harsh High Frequencies 02:33 - Shelving 'Sub' Bass Frequencies 04:10 - Focused Mid Cut for Improving Clean Tones 06:01 - Better Cocked Wah Tone 07:10 - Parametric EQ Made Simple 07:48 - 'Klon' Mid Boost 09:42 - Vintage OD to Modern OD 11:17 - Acoustic Emulation using EQ

GFI's new EQ pedal, the Enieqma, is a level of ambitious you don't see a lot. Featuring three different types of stackable EQ's, independent parallel pathing, a limiter, stereo widening, and even an excellent sounding chorus; the Enieqma is worth taking a look at.

The GFI Enieqma is a deeply powerful programmable EQ and tone shaping tool. It features 3 EQ engines; Parametric, Simple (tilt, baxandall, amp tone stacks, etc...) and a Pulteq MEQ-5 emulation. Enieqma can be used in mono or stereo. In stereo, EQ settings can be linked or independent, meaning different settings can be applied to each channel. Enieqma also features limiting, stereo expansion, and an independent +15db boost. In this demo video we’ll put this powerful eq pedal to work in a full band context, bringing humbucker-like chunk to a Jazzmaster-style single-coil bridge pickup, acting as a parked wah for melodic sustaining passages, and adding heft and bite to a bass line. Then we’ll dive into functionality with an overview of some of Enieqma’s many capabilities.

With its three powerful EQ engines: a 5‐band full Parametric EQ, Simple EQs (tonestacks, baxandall, tilt, etc), and an emulation of the revered Pultec MEQ‐5 midrange EQ processor, Enieqma offers unprecedented equalization capabilities in a pedal format. Versatility Enieqma’s EQ engine can be harnessed not only for general purpose tone shaping, but also for realizing specific tonal effects such as guitar/bass speaker frequency responses, telephone, old radios, wah pedals, etc. To help users get up to speed and quickly tap into the power of Enieqma, we have provided a solid built‐in library of ready‐to‐use prototype EQs that covers everything from simple lowpass/highpass filters to elaborate cabsim filters. Pristine sound quality Advanced algorithms and circuit design techniques, plus high performance converters, were employed to ensure sonic fidelity and achieve very low noise floor, without resorting to noise suppressor. Ease of use Equalization, specially with a parametric EQ, can at times be a daunting task, filled with technical jargons that are not really helpful. All those power and capabilities would go to waste without an effective and user friendly interface. With Enieqma we have gone all out to make sure that everything that the pedal offers can be quickly accessed, with no deep menus nor dependency to computer apps!

GFI System just released what might be the most powerful and dynamic EQ pedal to date. On top of that, the interface is smooth and elegant, with incredibly helpful dynamic display of your EQ curves to make adjusting and shaping your tone quick and easy. The ENIEQMA features stereo in and out, multiple modes of EQ including Parametric EQ, Pultec EQ, and simple EQ curve presets, as well as a stereo expander and dimension style chorus effect. Create presets for various guitars or rigs, combine EQ curves to make ultra-fine refinements to your signal, or use it to create "effects" like cocked wah sounds , treble booster , or overdrive sounds. I've been loving having an EQ at the end of my chain that virtually replaces my DAW plugin EQs. Getting my guitar tones polished before they hit my DAW has helped a ton in the mixing process and is such a useful tool to have. If you're wanting to learn and grow in your understanding and approach to EQ in your playing or mixing, the GFI System ENIEQMA provides everything you need to get started. . . .
