Members lowbasslowbass Posted October 29, 2006 Members Share Posted October 29, 2006 A message to all the pedal builders who just read or are active members of this forum: Please consider making some nice eq pedals! You all make amazing effects, so I am absolutely sure you can design a great eq. And you will definitely make a profit since an eq is useful for any kind of music or instrument. For example, Diamond Pedals has a very nice eq as part of the Diamond Compressor. I am sure they can make a seperate dedicated pedal that will be as amazing as their other products are. Thank you!

Members Brown Rug Posted October 29, 2006 Members Share Posted October 29, 2006 how could you improve on something like the MXR 10 band EQ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil O'Keefe Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 I was lamenting the lack of available EQ's a few hours ago... but I was thinking in terms of outboard studio parametric units that don't cost a small fortune yet still sound good - not pedals. As far as graphic EQ pedals, I am happy with my Fish & Chips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil O'Keefe Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 Originally posted by GuyaGuy TAP TEMPO EQ PEDALS!!!! TAP TEMPO EQ PEDALS!!!! Sure, why not? Put a LFO on an EQ pedal and sweep it. Or better yet, several LFO's - one for each band, each with seperate (tappable of course ) sweep times. I can't imagine what I'd use it for, but if someone built one, I'd probably buy it - if for no other reason than to support someone who was crazy enough to actually build a off the wall pedal idea that I tossed out off of the top of my head in a moment of silliness.

Members comfortablynumb Posted October 29, 2006 Members Share Posted October 29, 2006 Perhaps an eq in a wah shell. There would be a preset EQ shape in the heel and toe, and rocking the treadle would morph between them. I don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NITEFLY182 Posted October 29, 2006 Members Share Posted October 29, 2006 I just dont see the use, dramatic EQ changes usually sound fake, like they shouldnt exist in the same rig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd need two 7 bands behind the wah IMO. I think it would be doable to, you have a CV powering 7 LEDS and 7 LDRS read the light and add Resistance to the bottom sliders base resistance. I don't know how you'd make the top sliders give them a resistance roof though. But I'm pretty sure it is doable. My idea would be something like the Boss EQ-20, but with more presets and midi-control so you can sync it with a drum machine song (and it would recognize song changes too) So you can set up specific tones for each song and even have it automatically change settings mid song automatically. It would be very useful for recording. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Devi Ever Posted October 29, 2006 Members Share Posted October 29, 2006 I like the idea of an EQ pedal that has a bit of "colour" or grit to go along with the tone shaping. Seriously... why not? Each tone section could have it's own bit of unique character to add or subtract... imagine something like a treble / mid / bass boost in one pedal where each tone section had a particularly nice shape and colour as you brought them up or down. Anything like that already? I've been mulling the idea over for a few months, but as usual... not time to innovate properly. Just swamping around the fuzz bog. devi- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SpectralJulian Posted October 29, 2006 Members Share Posted October 29, 2006 That sounds like a good idea to me Devi. Where's puretube to talk about making a 7-band 7 12ax7 tube eq? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members aliensex Posted October 29, 2006 Members Share Posted October 29, 2006 Originally posted by Phil O'Keefe As far as graphic EQ pedals, I am happy with my Fish & Chips. A slight derail: I'm THIS close to getting a Boss GE 7, but I just noticed the Fish & Chips is about half the price (admittedly, neither costs much, but I'm really poor). Is there any real reason to not get the Fish & Chips instead of the Boss? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NITEFLY182 Posted October 29, 2006 Members Share Posted October 29, 2006 A nice metal enclosure and wider range sliders perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members scott_335 Posted October 29, 2006 Members Share Posted October 29, 2006 I would like a better ge-7 that is quieter and has a Q control for the sliders. Maybe even 3 Q controls for bass, mids, highs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe even 3 Q controls for bass, mids, highs. how much would you be prepared to pay? boutiquers could easily build para and graphic eqs but I'm not sure most folks would want to pony up the price over and against the factory eqs out there.
