Ibanez 2024 (2)

I see this as a spinoff, really. The 2023 Ibanez Pentatone pedal is now split into two units. The EQ section is now a standalone unit (PTEQ).
Ditto the noise gate section (PTGATE). This might be the consideration after players decided they don't need a preamp or any gain section in their FX lineup compounded by the fact that the drive produced by the Pentatone might not be up to their expectations but they can do with the EQ & noise gate. Between the two pedals, the EQ looks like it's leaning into the overkill side; features are rather excessive. The noise gate is a good lesson in simplicity.
