A guitar EQ/boost pedal with iconic API tonal shaping.
The API TranZformer GTR EQ/Boost effects pedal brings studio-grade performance to the pedalboard, featuring API's iconic EQ circuitry in a compact design. Known for shaping the sound of countless legendary recordings, API's technology offers unparalleled tonal clarity and precision. The pedal's ±15dB boost/cut across three frequencies allows for meticulous sound sculpting, while its transformer-driven output delivers the warmth and punch associated with API's renowned analog gear. With a clean boost and overdrive mode, this pedal is engineered to handle dynamic shifts in tone and style with ease. Built for demanding players, the TranZformer GTR combines heritage sound with modern functionality in a rugged, pedalboard-friendly format.
Three-Band EQ for Precision Tone Control
This pedal features a three-band EQ with ±15dB of gain adjustment, enabling players to tailor frequencies with exceptional detail.

Designed for adaptability, this feature empowers musicians to craft a dynamic and expressive sonic palette.
