Members dimperdoo Posted October 25, 2008 Members Share Posted October 25, 2008 Holy crap - 10 bands is too many! I find I can't quite leave the damn thing alone - it sounds OK then I turn the amp off and come back the next day - and it sounds meh? Funny how when I check out each band then adjust according I get mush - but if I go for different shapes (smile, frown, seagul, M, W) I find some pretty killer mixes. What's working for you (graphically) -mention your style -eh? Let's discuss it - after all it's actually on topic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members hooya Posted October 25, 2008 Members Share Posted October 25, 2008 Well, I don't have something wide enough right now to accomplish this, but if I had an MXR 10 band it would basically look like this: / More or less. Low cut, slight high boost, blend through. Maybe it might end up like this:_~basically taking the lows out and tweaking the highs. It's in order to compensate for the kind of pickup I'm running on my instrument. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members IRG Posted October 25, 2008 Members Share Posted October 25, 2008 The 2 bands - on the opposite ends of the spectrum don't really do much, so it's more like an 8 band. I keep the bass up a bit, the treble down to reduce hiss, and then the mids are usually either moved up, or I cut the mids, depending on what I want to do. I don't use it now at all though, bought an RC Booster, and it does enough for me. Starting to think though, I don't even need that one either.

Members dimperdoo Posted October 25, 2008 Author Members Share Posted October 25, 2008 Yeah, the 2 ends are not as noticeable as the inner 8 I'm finding some odd factors like - certain bands, if cut, while all others are at 0 can make for a very interesting sound. Changing any given band seems to have an effect on where the other sliders should be. It's frustrating cause you'll feel like your getting somewhere - and it'll sound f'd when u finish. That's why I wonder what shapes are working for other players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me know when you get the tones you like and I will gladly sit and listen to you play. Better yet how about I call you and we talk? Are your phones working?

Members dimperdoo Posted October 26, 2008 Author Members Share Posted October 26, 2008 mine (mxr 6-band) ...looks something like this. So, kind of an "M" shape favoring the upper mids. What kind of music are you playing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members melx Posted October 26, 2008 Members Share Posted October 26, 2008 So, kind of an "M" shape favoring the upper mids. What kind of music are you playing? all sorts to be honest, but I suppose 'alternative' in general...yeah it's like an M shape, it gives a nice bass boost (but without the very low 'lows' that can get muddy, and the mids are kinda scooped and pushed at the same time...lower mids scooped, upper mids boosted, and I lower the highs a little to stop it getting too bright at volume.

Members dimperdoo Posted October 26, 2008 Author Members Share Posted October 26, 2008 This "m"-ish pattern is similar to where the 10 band is set now... it leans back on the extreme hi and lo accentuating the mid low, upper mids and hi kinda like /w -but less aggressive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
