PJB PE-5WB 5-Band EQ Pre-Amp, DI Box & Signal Booster

The PJB PE-5WB is a versatile pedal designed for both bass guitar and upright bass, combining a sophisticated 5-band EQ with the functionality of a high-quality preamp, DI box and signal booster. Whether you are performing live, recording in the studio or simply looking to get more from your pickup and amplifier, the PE-5WB provides precise control over your bass tone.

Designed for Magnetic and Piezo Pickups

The PE-5WB features a unique switchable input impedance, allowing it to be matched precisely to either magnetic or piezo pickups. This ensures the pedal can deliver the full frequency spectrum of your instrument, while the input level and gain controls make it easy to match your pickup output to your amplifier.

As well as providing tonal control, the PE-5WB acts as a powerful signal booster, helping to compensate for low-output pickups and providing plenty of drive for your amplifier. Its line output is also powerful enough to connect directly to a power amplifier or powered speaker.

Precise 5-Band EQ

At the heart of the PE-5WB is a high-precision 5-band equaliser, designed specifically with the needs of bass players in mind. Each frequency band offers the same boost and cut level, with an identical Q factor across all bands. This makes it straightforward to shape your sound quickly and accurately.

The carefully selected frequency bands cover the important areas of the bass frequency spectrum, allowing you to enhance or reduce specific frequencies and achieve the tone you are looking for with ease.

Professional DI Output

The PE-5WB also incorporates a high-quality DI output, making it ideal for connecting directly to live sound systems and recording equipment. Its high signal-to-noise ratio helps provide a clean, detailed signal, while the ground lift switch can help eliminate unwanted mains hum when connecting to other equipment.

Built for the Stage

Powered by a standard 9V DC pedal adaptor, the PE-5WB is designed to be a practical and reliable addition to any bass player's setup.

Two footswitches provide convenient access to the mute and true bypass functions, allowing you to quickly silence your signal or remove the pedal from the signal path. The rugged housing is constructed from die-cast aluminium alloy, providing the durability needed for years of use.
