equalizer rack or pedal?


Recommended Posts

Ok. I having been thinking of getting an eq to tailor my sound a little. I was really looking at the mxr 10 band. That was until I realized I could buy a dual 15 band rack unit for the same money or actually less. I do run 2 amps sometimes. I was looking at the Art dual 15 band eq. I know that not all rack eq have 1/4" jacks, but this one does. So question number one is, of the guys running the mxr pedal do you run it between the guitar and amp or in your amps effects loop? And question number 2, is there any reason I should not buy a rack unit like the Art and stick with the mxr 10 band?

I have a 70s Ross 10 band, which is probably an MXR copy. I run it up front - I want to process the signal coming from my guitar, not the signal coming from my guitar processed by my amp's pre-amp. 15 bands might be overkill for a guitar. Even 10 bands is really more of a generalist instrument EQ designed for use with Guitar or Bass or Keyboards - most specific guitar EQs are only 6 or 7 bands.
