EQ- SUNNY SOUTH LONDON SOUND SHOP Variable Tone Pedal

SUNNY SOUTH LONDON SOUND SHOP 
VARIABLE TONE PEDAL 
$115.00 USD
It is a Gibson Varitone-in-a-Box. A passive device that was
built into the Gibson ES 345 and 355 semi's in the 50's & 60's. The BB King model still gets sold with one. It has 5 notch 
filters and a bypass. To me that means 5 mid scoops.
            CONCLUSION __
I particularly love a huge sound on my Bridge PU, 
but that means when I switch to the neck PU that 
tone will be big time muddy. The Varitone can scoop the mud out of it. Best of all you do not have to 
carve up your guitar, or indeed you guitar collection. 
Add to that it is just like the Gibson. It is passive so 
it does not mess with your sound, with a battery or 
an adapter running a small preamp.
....unfortunately it could be but is not built into a mini pedal. It simply 
takes up a lot of real estate on your board and that isn't necessary.
Just check the topography at the bottom of the Post. It has few parts.
