Lick My Face Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 Right, 3rd time asking, HOPEFULLY I'll actually get an answer: I'm thinking of an EQ pedal for my Bass, to completely replace any other EQs, both on other pedals and on the amp. I'm choosing between the Boss GEB-7 and the MXR 10-Band EQ. Is the extra £20 worth the ability to boost right down towards the low B on my 5-String?

The lowest band should be a shelf on both, so you'll be able to boost it (the bottom string) with both... It just depends how much control you want, weighted against price and size Also they probably sound different overall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just depends how much control you want, weighted against price and size Also they probably sound different overall Well yeah, I figured since they not only have a differing amount of control, but also a different set of frequencies to control, they'd sound different in general. Tbh, I'm not too bothered about that, as I imagine the difference would be somewhat negligible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, there IS a new music instrument shop that's allegedly opened in my town recently, might check out next Thursday or Friday when I have a day off next.

cheddatom Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 Why do you want a pedal to replace your amp's EQ? It doesn't make any sense to me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthijs Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 The only logic in that is that you want different EQ settings or boost different levels without having to walk to your amp... but an amp's EQ is normally good enough as a standalone unless it has a lack of diversity in range.

cheddatom Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 But an EQ pedal you can only turn on or off, so when it's off, and you're not using your amp's EQ, there's no EQ!! You need EQ for toanz! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthijs Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 I would never use it anyway, also because I have the semi-parametric EQ. Great for quick adjustments. If you set your amp EQ to some basic sound, and thén set your EQ pedal sound, you can also use it as a boost pedal for solos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheddatom Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 yes, good point. It's just the way he worded it "I'm thinking of an EQ pedal for my Bass, to completely replace any other EQs, both on other pedals and on the amp." It doesn't make sense.

Lick My Face Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 Why do you want a pedal to replace your amp's EQ? It doesn't make any sense to me! Because my amp's EQ is only 5-band, and I guess I'm just after more control, really. MuseMatt's idea of having a pedal in addition to my amp's EQ doesn't sound like too bad an idea. The pedal would be going at the end of the pedal chain anyway, and it'd be permanently on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthijs Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 than you're making my idea kinda pointless. Besides, you don't want it to be at the end I think. A pedal EQ would react in a different way to fx than an amp EQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheddatom Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 It depends what you want to acheive with it. I don't think using a 7 or 10 band EQ always on will give you much more than just your amp's 5 EQ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
