FiveFish Audio Janus

FiveFish Audio Janus DI/Shift EQ is a multipurpose module (D.I. module, re-amplifier, and EQ) for the 500 series, manufactured by FiveFish Audio.

Official description
The Janus DI/EQ is a multifunction unit (think of it as an "Audio Swiss Knife"), capable of working either as a Lean/Shift EQ, Electric/bass/keyboard Active DI Input, Guitar Re-Amplifier, or as a Signal-Splitter.

Not happy with your tracks? Use the Lean/Shift EQ as a single-knob EQ to simultaneously boost and cut either the low-end or high-end frequency parts. No setting sounds bad, because this is designed to be musical and easy to use.

Need to quickly record a new guitar part? Insert your guitar cable, flip a switch and start shredding!

Want to send your recorded guitar track to a guitar amp cabinet and re-record it? Connect the cable to your guitar amp, and flip the switch again and you're ready to roll!

Ever wonder what it will be like running the same signal through different external effects boxes for later mixing? Use the signal splitter capability of the Janus DI/EQ.

Just think of the creative possibilities! I'm sure you'll find a use for this "audio swiss knife" on your next recording and mixing sessions!
