Members CascadeDiver Posted July 21, 2018 Members Share Posted July 21, 2018 Does anyone have any experience using the Wampler Equator on the base? It looks like a great pedal for guitar! At 18v it should have plenty of head room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil O'Keefe Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 I've never tried one, but I see no reason why it wouldn't be a great EQ for use on bass. Unlike graphic EQ's, it has two semi-parametric midrange bands - that means you can adjust the center frequency of those two bands to whatever frequencies are best suited to your bass and your preferred sound. That's a great feature. It also looks like it can run on either 9V or 18V DC, which means you can use it at the higher voltage if you need more headroom - which can also be useful with bass - especially if you use a bass with active pickups. My buddy Brett Kingman seems to like it a lot... and he mentions bass right near the start of his demo video. [video=youtube;EmeXcpLn3js] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DeepEnd Posted July 23, 2018 Members Share Posted July 23, 2018 Yeah, an EQ is an EQ. As long as it affects the frequencies you need it should work with any instrument. There's no spec for the "Bass" or "Treble" controls but you could literally play that "by ear.". "Mids 1" is adjustable from 238Hz to 5KHz, "Mids 2" from 480 Hz to 4.8 KHz. That should be adequate for bass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to the Wampler site and couldn't find specs for either. The frequencies for the two Mids are marked on the unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brett can make anything sound good - he's a fantastic player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
