which EQ do you recomend?

[ninjaaron]

Hey, some of you probably know me from HCFX. I've certianly heard about you. anyway, I'm wondering what the prefered EQ around here is.

 

[Floor]

Equalisation setting ?
It depends alot of what I'm to play..

Or equaliserpedal ?

 

[ninjaaron]

EQ pedal.

You'd need to define your desired tone too - Metal? Heavy Rock? Country?

I find that one of these is a nice start.

There are a few boutique eq's: Barber, BJF, the defunct Morning Dew EQ...... but I think it's hard to go wrong with an MXR 10 band or 6 band eq. Also check out the BYOC 10 band pedal kit:

I play rock, and I want to use it mostly as a boost for solos. Prolly cut some of the highest highs, and boost the mids.

The new Fromel Shape is quite nice.

The new Empress Para EQ is quite impressive. I'm loving mine.

I really don't see a big reason to go big, expensive and extravagant for that. I'd get on of these:

It'll do exactly what you want to do and well. It's more solid than the Dano for gigging. I love the old blue ones but you probably want a bypass switch.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I'll shop around a bit.

I get a LOT of use out of my Carl Martin parametric EQ. First function is as an acoustic guitar pre-amp, but I use it on a digital piano, as a DI for a direct rig, and its audio quality is certainly good enough for voice. Very useful, built like a tank and very handy with 1/4" and XLR outs.

if you are just toying with the idea of using eq i suggest the Dano Fish n chips.

i have a few laying around that i use in loops to eq individual pedals to my liking

I have the mxr 10 band and it is a great eq pedal...I also have a couple boss ge7's and they are decent, a bit noisy if you use the pedal as a boost...but the mxr 10 band is the ****!!!

I find the Cleanness pedal from Dr. Scientist to be one of the best for eq pedals. Plus it has a seperate volume control for boosting overall levels.

 

[zaraflux]

I am using 2 modded GE7s and a PQ4 am about to get rid of all of them and get a couple Empress EQs

 

[arthur rotfeld]

I'm using the MXR 6 band. It's effective and quiet. It colors the sound a wee bit, but for me the trade off is worth it. It boost my highs and overall volume as I lose a lot of signal in long cables and a variety of effects.

If you are looking for something with a boost function for solo's, Shape EQ will not cut it, nor will an MDEQ. I would reccommend a Sea Blue EQ from BJFE.
