ThePE-5 is a pedal designed for bass guitar and upright bass whichincorporates a sophisticated 5 band EQ and also offers superior functionas a Pre-Amp, Direct Box, and signal booster.

ThePE-5 is engineered with a unique switchable input impedance whichallows the pedal to match exactly to either a magnetic or piezo pickup.It achieves the full band spectrum for either pickup source. In additionit is a signal booster which compensates for low output pickups andwill also provide ample drive for any amplifier. The input level andgain controls are designed to precisely match the pickup output to anamplifier.The line output is strong enough to use directly into a poweramplifier or a powered speaker.

The5-band EQ is a high precision equalizer which means that each boost orcut level is identical to each adjacent band. Plus the Q factor of eachband is identical. This makes it far easier for the player to accomplishthe tone that they are pursuing. These frequency bands were carefullychosen for the voice of a bass so that the user will be able to adjustthe EQ rapidly to get the desired sound.

TheDI output is of the highest audio quality obtainable providing a matchto even the finest recording studio mixing consoles and live soundsystems. It has extremely high signal to noise ratio and features aground lift switch to eliminate the possibility of œMains Hum .

ThePE5 can be powered by a standard 9-volt DC pedal adaptor or run on itsown internal lithium-ion battery that is charged with a standard cellphone charger via its USB socket.

Thetwo foot switches provide a mute function and a true bypass. The ruggedhousing is constructed of die cast aluminum alloy made to deliver yearsof service.

1) 1/4 INPUT JACK " The input jack accepts an unbalanced signal from your bass via a standard 1/4 instrument cable.

2) INPUT IMPEDANCE

3) DC IN " External power supply connection 9VDC / 1A

4) USB TYPE-C-For Inner Li-Battery Charge

5) LOW-BASS EQ CONTROL " This will adjust the fundamental tones of Eand A strings on 4 string basses and B,E & A on 5 string basses.

6) HIGH BASS EQ CONTROL-This will adjust the fundamental tones of D and G-strings on 4 & 5 string basses.

7) MID RANGE EQ CONTROL "

8) LOW TEBLE EQ CONTROL-

9) HIGH TREBLE (PRESCENCE) EQ CONTROL "

10) OVERLOAD INDICATOR

11) 1/4 OUTPUT JACK " This output can be connected to power amp,powered cabinet and unbalanced input of other devices via a standard1/4 instrument cable.

12) BALANCED LINE OUT XLR SOCKET "This is a low impedance (200?)balanced line out for use with recording or PA mixing consoles. Thisoutput is not controlled by the volume control.

Changing the level on your instrument will however, vary the DI output.

13) GROUND /LIFT BALANCED LINE OUT-This allows the grounding ofbalanced out socket to be disconnected. This is useful if you areexperiencing hum caused by grounding loops/problems.

14) PRE/POST EQ BALANCED LINE OUT- The output can be either direct from the source or via the EQ circuit.

15) MUTE SWITCH- To cut the sound off from the instrument.

16) MUTE INDICATOR- To show that you have muted the instrument.

17) OUTPUT LEVEL CONTROL- Can adjust the volume or match the outpu t to an amplifier/mixer.

18) INPUT GAIN CONTROL- Allows the matching to weak or strong pickups.

19) ON SWITCH- turns the preamp on and off and bypasses the signaldirect; the LED indicator is green when the EQ is on. The LED indicatoris red when the EQ is bypassed.
20) EFFECT ON/POWER ON INDICATOR- Shows when the EQ is ON.

21) POWER SWITCH- Switches the EQ on or OFF. In off mode the EQ is bypassed.
