Members DIAMOND Posted January 22, 2008 Members Share Posted January 22, 2008 Great to see that you had this unit! I had the Boss EQ 20 advanced a couple of years ago and thats a great pedal. Very solid and the possibillity to store sounds. I sold it needed the cash So last week i ordered the MXR 108 and i will put that in my Savage 120s loop, cant wait Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members 4nkam Posted January 22, 2008 Members Share Posted January 22, 2008 So does my studio pre but that didn't stop the mxr from adding total awesomness to the tone. The mxr and other eq's have more range and can fill in the inbetween frequencies the mesa's eq lacks. Like that area between the 4th and 5th sliders.. lots of awesomeness to be had between those. Exactomundo I love my Studio and Quad preamps but when I use an additional eq it's CRAZY nice I am currently using the eq in the gmajor and it works well, but I wanna get a full on midi programmable parametric EQ down the road.

Members 17 Tubes Posted January 22, 2008 Members Share Posted January 22, 2008 ive never tried it, maybe i should buy one and give it a whirl with my QR.. Yep. Buy an awsome tone machine like a Splawn Quickrod, then stick the EQ innit to make it sound good. 100% +1 (Yep...I'm a jackass!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members tlbonehead Posted January 23, 2008 Members Share Posted January 23, 2008 I have always put a graphic EQ in the loop of my 5150II. It has always added a lot to my tone. Really cleans it up, and adds some nice girth to it, all while maintaining that sheering top and sizzle/cut/grind. So, Last night at practice I tried it in the loop of my Cobra. I turned the FX mix all the way up. Kept all the levels on the eq flat, except i suck out some 200k and add some 1.6 k. All I can say is DAMN, my tone cleaned up really nicely. It seemed to provide even more string separation, but also saturated the amp a little more! The tone was fatter yet crisper at the same time. Chords were smooth but with a raw top end. Basically, the tone was MUCH more ear pleasing and put a big smile on my face. everbody should try this... P.S. Here is the eq i was using, on manual mode... No thanks. I like my amp better w/o. Glad it works for you nut I wonder why you think everyone else should do the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members kmanick Posted January 23, 2008 Members Share Posted January 23, 2008 I run an MXR 10 band EQ in the loop of my JSX head. Makes a huge difference and the settings are very slight. Slightly boosted lower mids and just a slight cut off of the highest treble freqs.Makes the amp sound so much thicker and smoother. I couldn't imagine running this head without it.

Members rockitsauce Posted January 23, 2008 Members Share Posted January 23, 2008 My behringer 7 band quit recently, the mxr I am looking for but they seem hard to find used except on evilbay and I dont want to go that way. Course, if I break down and buy a new one, the very next day I will see a good used one advertised by someone who lives a block away or something.

Members dr_love6977 Posted January 23, 2008 Members Share Posted January 23, 2008 I used to run a GE-7 in the loop of my Randall RG100, it did wonders for it and took away a lot of the sterility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DIAMOND Posted January 23, 2008 Members Share Posted January 23, 2008 my savage 120 also loves an eq, same deal as the cobra and 5150. The store called me today and told me that the MXR-108 was out of stock until march-april so they asked me if i would like to have the MXR-KFK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DVaz Posted January 23, 2008 Members Share Posted January 23, 2008 Been doing this for months. Really cleans up the mush of my TSL. No woolyness. Deeper, clearer bass and sharper treble. I run it flat unless I'm fine-tuning the tone to record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members CiceroTJones Posted January 23, 2008 Members Share Posted January 23, 2008 Here's a question for all of you who are doing this... what style music do you play?it seems that most of you play heavy stuff, but could someone who plays rootsy stuff benefit also?
