Any EQ training for me?

[Barnzy]

I took a big leap and purchased an Empress ParaEQ. I'm happy with the power and utility of this pedal for sure. I am less confident in my own equalization basic knowledge. So I ask for any tips, tricks, online "must see" resources and general advice so that I can move beyond my current simple "bass-treble" mentality. Please post any ideas because I'll read them all. Knowing frequencies to boost/cut for different reasons is one area I'm particularly interested in.
Thanks,
Barnzy

I check back to this eq primer often when I'm mixing.

Thanks a million,

You're welcome! Looks like it's moved recently. My bookmark at the house isn't working.

First...when the pedal is off, get the best tone you can with the amp/guitar tone controls...

then set the pedal flat (doesnt effect tone), turn it on, and start tweaking...this ia how I set my eq pedal. I dont have a frommel but I assume this will work as well...iom an eq should be for slight tweaking, not major adjustment...if you need major adjustment, the problem is your amp or pickups...imo of course
