Suggest a good EQ pedal for me...

Re: Suggest a good EQ pedal for me...

I use a 6 band MXR that I picked up from a guy on the forum here for about $40. It works great. I've had friends play with an MXR 10 band and those work great, too. I bought the 6 band because of space issues like you've mentioned and I was able to find one pretty cheap. Which ever of the two work out in your situation, the quality is certainly there with the MXR eqs.

The thing about the MXR 10 band that's always annoyed me are the leftmost and rightmost bands. There is no way a 32 Hz band or a 16 kHz band will be useful on a guitar.

I have to disagree. I have heard that statement before, so, with pedal hooked up I slid the sliders full on, full off on the extremes of 32 Hz and 16 kHz. I definitely heard the difference on both the 32 Hz and 16 kHz sides with a Fender Strat and a Ibanez Les Paul copy. Do the test yourself.

Now, will you hear that difference in a high gain, high volume setting?????, no frack'en way, but it does make a difference, and in some musical situations, it will make the music shine.

Alright, well so far its looking like the MXR 10-band. Just wondering, is the 10-band that bunch better than the 6-band?

I think so . . . i like the extra low end, at 31Hz.
I believe the 6 band only goes as low as 100Hz.

That is exactly why i got it, it's for that looooow 31Hz.
It helps when i play Soundgarden, Sleep, Fu Manchu, Electric Wizard and the like !
