A Fishman "all-in-one" designed for the modern acoustic
A historic specialist in acoustic amplification, Fishman designed the ToneDEQ as a compact control station for piezo and other pickup-equipped instruments. The idea is simple: to regain the richness of a true quality analog stage preamp while benefiting from easy-to-dial-in musical effects. The result: fewer pedals, fewer cables, and a cleaner signal chain to go directly into an acoustic amp, mixing console, or interface.
Who is it for, and in what contexts?
The Fishman ToneDEQ is aimed at acoustic guitarists (and more broadly electro-acoustic instruments) who play live and want a stable, controlled sound that's quick to adjust. It suits both beginners seeking a reliable foundation and experienced guitarists in pop, folk, worship, acoustic blues, or singer-songwriter accompaniment. On a pedalboard, it can become the "hub": level management, taming intrusive bass, soft compression, and ready-to-go ambient effects for the front of house.

Exactly meets my expectations (preamp for my Gibson Hummingbird acoustic guitar equipped with a piezo). Without having had time to use the equipment for a long time, the quality of the sound seems to be there.
It is a product well suited for those who want both a quality preamp and classic effects (chorus, reverb etc.) in the same box, which avoids the multiplication of pedals and connections, and therefore ease of use.
Sound adjustments are also easy, for example, that of the mids is not parametric, and therefore less precise, but therefore very easy to adjust. I think I'll be happy with it for a long time (it also seems sturdy enough to last).Automatically translated

Great sound for a fairly compact body.

Questions frequently asked
Is the Fishman ToneDEQ suitable for an electro-acoustic guitar with a piezo pickup?
Its 10 MΩ high-impedance input is designed for passive pickup instruments, especially piezo systems. The discrete Class A JFET preamp ensures proper signal matching before processing. The 4-band EQ and selectable low-cut filter then allow control of unwanted low frequencies.
What outputs are available on this acoustic pedal?
The connections include a 6.35 mm jack output to an amplifier and a balanced XLR DI output to a mixer or interface. The XLR output features a Pre/Post EQ selector and an automatic Ground Lift.
What effects are built into the ToneDEQ?
Eight effects are integrated: two reverbs or two delays in the first section, then two choruses, one flanger, and a tremolo in the second. The digital effects are processed in parallel with the analog audio path.
How can feedback be reduced and solos boosted on an acoustic performance?
A phase inversion switch helps manage feedback on stage. The boost footswitch can add up to 9 dB for solo passages, while the soft-knee compressor smooths out dynamics.
What power supply is required for the Fishman ToneDEQ?
The required power source is a 9 V battery or a 9 V DC power supply with center negative, neither included. An adapter providing at least 200 mA is recommended, with typical consumption of 37 mA and maximum of 62 mA.
