vintage BJFe Sea Blue EQ (Elfa) #176

Sea Blue EQ (SBEQ) - Booster pedal with active EQ (released 6th September 2004). This is not a transparent booster. The SBEQ when compared to RRB has maximum flat gain similar to the BPB but a little higher so it corresponds to the RRB with the Gain set to 1 O'clock. The frequency bands that are affected during the boost or cut are set empirically, as in let's proceed on whatever sounds good and there is no center point on that. However, the SBEQ can be set flat minus some of the upper band, but not more than an Alnico speaker provides. The volume control sets the output and the bass and treble controls set the cut or gain for those frequencies with a flat response being Bass at 9 O'clock and Treble at 12 O'clock. The SBEQ is designed to take overload, like with BPB and RRB, only with the SBEQ there can be more overload regardless of the output level but depending on settings of the EQ controls and the incoming level. There is at least one SBEQ in a Gunner enclosure that has sea life scribed into the paintwork. The backplate artwork is a seal on the rocks.
