Members pencho Posted September 20, 2008 Members Share Posted September 20, 2008 What is the difference between using an EQ pedal versus adjusting the tone at the amp? Are you also getting boost with an EQ or just adjusting the bass and treble? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MegaTom Posted September 20, 2008 Members Share Posted September 20, 2008 Some EQ pedals can give a little boost... some others can give a lot of boost. The difference is in the type of EQ and where it is placed. Most EQ pedals have more frequency ranges than an amp's Low, Middle and High... or just Low and High knobs... so you can more finely adjust the bands that you cut or boost. Also, by playing with the placement of the EQ pedal, you can get some very different effects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members WWW Posted September 20, 2008 Members Share Posted September 20, 2008 Yep, Megatom hit it on the nose. I actually use two eq's. One in the effects loop of an amp that has a less-than-desirable onboard EQ, and one to shape the tone of certain pedals. The second eq helps get more range out of my 2nd amp, which only has bass and treble, but lacks an onboard mid control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jakkeh Posted September 20, 2008 Members Share Posted September 20, 2008 I'm happy with my amps EQ. On Treble/Middle/Bass, 12 o clock is unity, anything below is a cut, and anything above is a boost. It works great running some at full and some at 0 too, unlike other amps. It has a cut control too, which is strange, like a global tone knob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not real specific other than I'm trying to talk my self out of buying the fish-n-chips EQ. I'm pretty happy with my setup but I do have room for 1 more pedal on my board Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't tried it yet, but some good folks seem to think that it's worth its weight in gold.Sorry for feeding your gas bro, but you wont be happy until the void is filled.
