True to its name, the Ibanez Pentatone preamp pedal packs five different all-analog effects and tone-shaping controls into a single pedalboard-friendly, dual footswitch box. This pedal starts with a formidable boost section that makes it easy to crank your signal into the distortion section, complete with a 2-band eq to shape your signal to taste. Looking for even greater EQ power? Leave that task to the powerful 5-band parametric EQ section with +/-10dB per-band for studio-level tone shaping. Last comes the post-boost section to slam your signal into the next part of your signal chain. Finally, a built-in noise gate allows you to crank up the gain on the pre-boost, distortion, and post-boost with impunity, as it keeps your signal free from unwanted noise at even the most extreme settings. Add in the bright switch and versatile footswitch options, and the Pentatone preamp pedal is a must-have piece of gear for the guitarist who requires maximum tone-shaping control!
Boost, distortion, more boost
Far more capable than your run-of-the-mill gain pedal, the Pentatone features three ways to kick up the gain: pre-boost, distortion, and post-boost. However, the post-boost that comes after the distortion circuit is undoubtedly an innovation that deserves praise, especially since it allows you to altogether forgo the age-old question of whether the boost goes before or after the dirt pedal.
Serious tone-shaping power
While we appreciate how the Pentatone’s distortion section features a dedicated 2-band EQ, sometimes you need a little more tone-shaping power. Thankfully, the Pentatone has a full 5-band EQ that sports up to +/-10dB of gain for each band. Combined with the distortion’s EQ, the 5-band EQ unlocks near-limitless tonal possibilities for you to experiment with — and that’s before you even get to the Pentatone’s treble-boosting bright switch!
Versatile switching options
Right out of the box, the Pentatone’s dual footswitches allow for a standard bypass and activation/deactivation of the post-boost section. It’s an intuitive setup that allows for a quick, dramatic dynamic shift; however, that’s just the beginning of the Pentatone’s utility: plugging in an external footswitch grants even greater control by making the entire pre-boost and 5-band EQ section footswitchable.
Ibanez Pentatone Preamp and EQ Pedal Features:
- 5-band +/-10dB parametric EQ unlocks a deep level of sonic sculpting
- Built-in noise gate to keep your signal clear when cranking up the gain
- Pre-boost to slam your signal going into the distortion section, with a post-boost to push it onto the next part of your signal chain
- Distortion section that goes from light overdrive to crushing high-gain tones
- Distortion section sports a dedicated 2-band EQ for even more tone-shaping possibilities
- Bright switch kicks up the treble response to cut through a dense mix
- 2 footswitches: preamp bypass and post-boost section
- Connecting an external footswitch allows hands-free activation of the pre-boost and 5-band EQ section
- All-analog design for rich, organic tones
- Functions with either a 9V battery or external 9vDC 100 mA power supply (not included)

Hard to Beat
Format: Hardcover
Waltke's grammar is about as good as it gets with Hebrew Grammars. Considering the subject matter and its scope one has to expect a monolith like this 700pg jumbo sized monster. But this isn't just some pedantic and wordy school book, it is accessible (assuming that the reader has a basic understanding of Hebrew already), rich with Biblical examples, and comprehensive (at least as far as a grammar can be). This book has set a standard for Hebrew Grammars and is a must for the serious Hebrew student.

In Kathy Koch’s Words, “To get something new, you must do something new.”
Format: Paperback
Dr. Kathy out did herself with this one. I finished the book with hope, ideas, and actionable steps, to use in my relationships with my adult children.
She repeats this phrase throughout her book, “To get something new, you must do something new.” I like this so much more than the definition of insanity, “doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results," (not sure who said it first and it is not my definition). I am a creature of habit and do the same things and can be amazed when nothing changes. But as Dr. Kathy states I have to do something new, and this book gives me that new. Every chapter ends with 5 actionable steps, and guided activities to apply what was discussed. Some steps are even scripted to help when you don’t know what to say.
I have 13 children. 6 have reached adulthood. 4 of them are married and we have 10 amazing grandchildren. Navigating relationships with the adult kids sometimes feels like a roller coaster ride. I can be passive aggressive and opinionated. I know better, but bad habits are hard to break.
When I got the email that this book was about to be published and Dr. Kathy was looking for some to read and give an honest opinion of it, I jumped at the chance. I received a free digital copy, and as soon as it was available I bought it.
I highly recommend this book. It was written to help with adult kids, but you can apply the ideas with communicating with any adults or even kids.
Chapter 1 “First, The Basics” as our children become adults we are their parents (noun), but are no longer to parent (verb). Our role switches to encourager, guide, counselor, coach based on mutual trust. She reminds us that our purpose is more than just parenting. She discusses the 5 core needs of security, identity, belonging, purpose, and competence. She even gives a scripted Declaration of Release returning our children into the hands of an all powerful God.
Chapter 2 “Look Honestly at Yourself” Dr. Kathy hits hard here. She tells us to lose our pride, take responsibility for our part and be open to make changes. She also tells the reader to listen to learn and not to judge. This chapter gave me so much insight into my personal relationships. Reminded me that I get defensive because I don’t want to be criticized or blamed. She guides in ways to get to the bottom of hurts by asking questions and listening.
Chapter 3 “Listen More, Talk Less” No unsolicited advice. Listen to understand. Ask questions to clarify, and ask permission before giving your two cents. Hear your children. Love them. Accept them. This doesn’t mean you like or approve their choices, just acknowledge it. Focus on the present. Facts. Surrender it all to God.
Chapter 4 “How to Handle Grief So It Doesn’t Handle You” Acknowledge grief, give yourself time to accept and grieve. Grieve what isn’t and accept what is. Reject lies and embrace truth. Then work on what you can.
Chapter 5 “The Two Shall Become One” has all the tips for when your adult child marries. How to handle traditions, holidays, etc.
Chapter 6 “The Blessings of Grandchildren” has my next favorite quote. Dr. Kathy says, “Don’t judge past by today’s wisdom.” This gem is one I have repeatedly told myself since I finished reading the book. I did the best I could at that time. I have grown, matured, learned more, and am not the same person I was. She also says that God calls me to love others, not analyze and fix them. So now that the grandchildren are here I need to learn their 8 great smarts (word, logic, picture, music, body, nature, people, and self), be active and not idolize.
Chapter 7 “Close or Far away” we need to respect their home and ways. Always ask to stop by and leave judgement at the door. Instead of walking in and feeling like you should do something, instead ask “What would you like me to do.” My job is to pray and serve.
Chapter 8 “The Big Stuff:Moving Home and More” addresses the need for clear communication, clear expectations and respect.
Chapter 9 “ Politics, Lifestyle, and Other Hot Topics” Bottom line is to be open and approachable. If a topic comes up that can’t be discussed peacefully it is ok to say no to discussing right then. Always be respectful and stay calm.
Chapter 10 “The Prodigal” This one leans a lot into giving up our control and leaning into God’s sovereignty. Releasing. Grieving. Loving unconditionally. Being available to listen, but not quick to solve, and offer unsolicited advice.
Chapter 11 “Finding Hope When Life Unravels” where does our hope come from? The Lord. We cannot live in past guilt and shame. Know you did the best you could. If you did wrong, take responsibility for it. Ultimately though it is all in His hands. Sometimes we have to get out of the way and let God work in our children’s lives. We can’t. But He can. Trust in His sovereignty.

A thoughtful and practical book, from an author we have trusted through all the stages of parenting!
Format: Paperback
When we started our family, we figured that the "hard years" would be the ones with night-time feedings, teething, potty training... As my mom later revealed, "little children, little problems...big kids, big problems." And now, as parents of 4 adults, our learning in this "parenting stage" continues, and we appreciate all the help we can get! (And we now have lots of grandkids...a whole new phase with a steep learning curve!)
We met Dr Kathy years ago, at a homeschooling conference in Europe, and have closely followed her ever since. She was a huge help to our oldest who was struggling in the German school system. When we were asked if we would like an advance copy of her book about strategies as parents of adult children, we were very glad to say yes!
We so appreciate her thoughtful, practical advice! This book is filled with both, and we plan to get a hard copy, to re-read and underline. And we are definitely glad to recommend it to friends in this stage of life, whether they have great relationships with their kids or ones with tough challenges.

Practical help for a challenging transition of parenthood
Format: Paperback
I have long been a fan of Dr. Kathy, having read several of her books as well as heard her speak at conferences. She is always down to earth with practical ideas and spiritual truths. I was provided an advance, free copy of this book to read and preview, and I must say it was such as relevant topic to me - I have two young adult children, one who is fully launched and one still at home. Full disclosure - I am only through chapter 3, but that is because I wanted to take my time and digest the applications of this book!
Some ideas I am already contemplepating and implementing:
- avoiding placing my child (and their happiness) as a sort of idol in my life
- an echo of what I'd already sensed - I need to shift my role from parent to invided guide
-humbly confronting my own assumptions and beliefs as a pathway to open dialog
- tackling the hard work of bcoming an active, intentional and sensitive listener.
I had a digital copy so underlining wasn't practical, but that may be good as I'd want to underline most of the book so far! Each chapter has a mixture of concepts, ideas for building skills in real life and suggested prayers. I can't wait to finish the book - I actually ordered two hard copies for my husband and I to read and discuss together.
Thank you for this book!

I will read it again and refer to it often.
Format: Paperback
"I hope and pray that what I've written has been what you needed - comforting, relevant, and appropriately challenging insights and ideas that will guide you to have more peace, hope, and growth. I picture you feeling differently, thinking differently, and using new ideas for God's glory. " Dr. Kathy Koch
In my current moment, the wise guidance offered in Dr. Kathy's latest book is a valuable gift.
Where many resources fail or miss the heart of things - the thoughts offered by Dr. Kathy in this book are practical, God honoring, honest, accessible, challenging, real.
It is common to find resources aimed at Jesus followers that land as impractical platitudes. It is common to find resources claiming psychological excellence that bury the reader in therapeutic blame shifting. This book is neither of those things and I am so grateful.
With a grown married child, an adult estranged child, an adult child still at home, a pre-launched teen, an aging parent, a frightening and sad loss of purpose in middle-age...I am the center of the target audience.
Each chapter brings focus to different areas of adult relationships that are prone to conflict. Each chapter ends with very useful tools to help focus on areas of healing and growth. The prompts for intentional, grace-filled communication are clear and immensely useful. There is compassionate seeing, firm challenge, and hopeful help. This book goes on my reference shelf for easy access!
