Is your tone pulling its weight? Put it to work with a Tone Job
based around the tone-shaping options available in old, audiophile-grade stereo preamps, making
it a great addition to your pedalboard no matter what instrument you play. So what does that mean,
exactly? It means that you'll hear full frequency response from your Tone Job everywhere you plug it in –
guitar, bass, drum machine, synthesizers, steel drums, harpsichord, kazoo, car stereo*, or wherever!
The Tone Job has active EQ controls for Bass, Mid, and Treble; with up to 20 dB of cut or boost, which
is handy for pairing up with other pedals in your chain to breathe new life into old dirt. Unlike boring, old
graphic EQs, the Tone Job's EQ controls are interactive, so you can experiment with different settings
to alter the response and overall feel of the Device, getting your tone out of the lunchroom and back
on the clock. Place the Tone Job at the beginning of your chain to alter the overall character of your
guitar, or use it at the end to boost output at the end of a long cable run and fine-tune your tone. The
Level control on the Tone Job can boost your signal up to 5x the original input level, so you'll always
be heard, and makes for a fantastic solo and/or clean boost! The Tone Job is all analog, true-bypass
and built one-at-a-time by a bunch of standing waves and a few bass traps in acoustically challenged
Akron, Ohio, USA.
*We haven't actually tried the Tone Job on our car stereos, but it probably sounds pretty good if you
can figure out how to patch it in!
Approximate Frequency Response
Treble affects frequencies from around 2k Hz up, bass affects frequencies from around 500 Hz down.
The middle is an adjustable resonant filter acting as a midrange control with it's center frequency
around 1k Hz. Treble and bass response are dependent on middle control settings.

Power
This device takes a standard 9-18 volt DC power supply with a 2.1mm negative center barrel. We
always recommend pedal-specific, transformer-isolated wall-wart power supplies or multiple isolated-
output supplies. Pedals will make extra noise if there is ripple or unclean power. Switching-type power
supplies, daisy chains and non-pedal specific power supplies do not filter dirty power as well and let
through unwanted noise. DO NOT RUN AT HIGHER VOLTAGES!
Current Draw: 21 mA
Input Impedance: 1 MΩ
Output Impedance: <1 kΩ
Switching
Flat mids, bass and treble boosted
This device is true bypass and uses electronic relay-based switching. Audio will not pass without power.
