Master Effects MEQ - Mesa EQ clone

[RedB4Black]

this looks pretty cool if it sounds like the Mesa....

Only one way to find out

The sliders are in the proper position..

Not up on their site yet. I wonder the price with the USA tariffs.

Does mesa have an internal boost regulator (or other voltage doubling+ scheme) in their version? And does this one? 9v peak to peak is not enough for loop use, and that's the key use case for something like this.

So what’s verdict ?

 

[CrystalSky]

While at it, does anybody know why no one has replicated that GEQ pedal from Mesa?

Wayne said no, so I wonder what’s so special/proprietary/unobtainium/expensive inside them?

Mesa stopped making their pedal version, glad somebody is picking up the slack.

I’ll also say the ME EQFH is the best sounding pedal EQ I’ve tried for putting in the loop. I don’t doubt this new one sounds good too.

The mesa amp circuit runs on like 30v dc I believe. So you'd need a pretty expensive boost regulator. Like $20 in small volume. And it's got 5 inductors and the faders. Beyond that it's a trivial circuit.

Not sure what they did for the pedal but duplicating the amp version would be just fine IMO. You could add an input and output stage and two knobs if you wanted but the amp version should be unity gain.

I’m also curious what they did in that pedal
