'Bolt Bender' is the ultimate in transparent equalization forelectric instruments.  It features a passive Baxandall EQcircuit with bass and treble controls.  The 4 paper in oilcapacitors include a Lightning Boy Audio signature handmade"Thunder Cap", and are driven by a NOS 12AU7 tube for the mostorganic sounding equalization ever offered in an instrument FXpedal.
