*Originally Uploaded 2008* The Barber Tone Pump EQ overdrive pedal is a unique little doodad that features two channels of overdrive for rhythm and lead. The Pump control is a boost/compression control that gives a fat rhythm tone at low settings and a compressed lead tone at the highest settings. The Barber Tone Pump EQ gives you a Tone control (of course) and also a Bass boost/cut control. This allows you to dial more low end to a thin sounding amp, or tone down that bass monster. The EQ update to the Tone Pump is the addition of internal trimmers to adjust Midrange and Presence.

If you're looking for a super transparent overdrive pedal, the Barber Tone Pump EQ is it. Nothing but the tone of your guitar is coming through when engaged. The overdrive can be light and uncompressed or dirty and compressed depending on the setting of the Pump control. The fact that the Barber Tone Pump EQ has two channels makes it perfect for having a fat boost tone as well as a screaming lead. So the big question...What if I don't like super compressed tone? The compression given by the Pump control is unusual in the fact that it there is no squash effect to your attack. The tone is still snappy but with days of sustain. This is the type of compression pedal connoisseurs dream about. Check out the Barber Tone Pump EQ, it might be just what the doctor ordered.
