Here is a very nice review of Paul Gilbert’s Detox EQ pedal. The link was sent to me by I Heart Guitar.
Definitely check out the full review (written by Steve Turner, May 2009) by clicking that link.

Some key excerpts:
“The Detox EQ volume pot can be used as a signal boost to add saturation, or as a cut to clean up the tone of a raging, multiple-tentacled high gain monster amp.”
“Running the Detox EQ with my highest gain amp, a Bogner Uberschall, the results were positive across the board… Working with the two channel Uberschall, the Detox running as a signal cut gives me a virtual third channel in between the angelic clean, and ‘high class hooker’, dirty tones.”
“Running with a Bassman clone I was able to dial the amp hard to get some really nice power amp breakup and then rein it in back to a more sparkly clean by engaging the Detox with a small amount of cut.”
“Cutting amp saturation by reducing guitar signal is not a new idea. People have been doing it for years by dialing back guitar volume pots. The benefit and value that the Detox adds is that you can EQ the signal to account for any frequency shifts that might occur based on dialing back the signal – something that can not be done through a guitar on its own.”
“I am very pleased to say that the Detox EQ pedal is another winner within the Home Brew Electronics line of products.”
