Mid-Boost pedals . . . what is out there ?

Re: Mid-Boost pedals . . . what is out there ?

I would like one of the JHS haunting mids boost/cuts pedals.,,,,,,,,,,despite all the "controversy ".

what controversy?

Oh jeez, it's a whole "thing" over on the Gear Page. Almost as bad as the Gibson hate, and just about as rational.

Haha! I’m a member over there but seldom visit. The ridiculousness is strong there.

Hahahaha, i was about to ask the same thing about this pedal.
Deff looking into this one too.

Re: Mid-Boost pedals . . . what is out there ?

(I cannot see your pic)

700 Hz boost = TS

The best mid boost could be an graphic Eq.

Thanks.
I always wondered what section of the 'mid range' is boosted by a typical TS-style drive.

Re: Mid-Boost pedals . . . what is out there ?

Take a look at the Seafoam Pedals Lighthouse. It makes a good midboost, but it has other functionality as well. It can function as a clean, dirty, or "nasty" boost and also has the capability of switching between a true boost, a mid boost, and a treble boost. It comes in a mini, pedal board friendly format too.

hahahaha, i will buy one od these just based on the colour
Thanks Christopher.

My god - some days you guys just can't read!!!!!!

What you need SirJdF, is a Parametric EQ

I think about 80's pedals from Yamaha here. Maybe Korg, or Arion also. Boss used to(?) make something called the PQ3(?) I think?

That will let you dial in exactly the frequency, the width, and amount of boost perfectly! No - this is not a "good" EQ. This is nothing like a GE6 or an MXR 10 band. Wayyyyy cooler than that, and likely what that Demeter does, just with a preset frequency and width.

Or, if you just want a mid boost pedal, and old OD (TS9, Bad Monkey, 805, SD1, etc) will get you there, plus gain and 1-3 bands of "good EQ" according to Ibanez, Boss or whoever.

Thanks . . . i will look into those as well

You want a Stone Deaf PDF-2.

Parametric EQ, clean or dirty mode, based on Josh Homme's secret weapon from the 'Rated R' era. I have two.

I know about them . . . but never pulled the trigger one one yet - no idea really why.
Think it is about time i get one

This configuration won't boost the mids per se. Rather just attenuate the low and high end to create a hump at the center frequency of the Baxandall tone.

Understood - thanks.

For tightening up a lower tuned metal tone, the fortin grind sounds killer.

Never took any notice of this one.
I shall look into them ASAP.

Just knowing 700k won't necessarily get you the TS mid bump.

You need to know the width of that frequency bump too. Oh wait - that what a Parametric EQ does!!!!

Any Parametric EQ's that you can suggest / like ?

Re: Mid-Boost pedals . . . what is out there ?

Any Tube Screamer style pedal.

So literally ANY Overdrive that is painted green in the store is going to be a mid boost pedal.

NegativeEase . . . will this apply to the (green) MXR Shin-Juku Drive as well then ?

Interesting that they would pick Tube Screamer green for that pedal -as that pedal is a tribute to an amp. So without hearing it, I would say no.

But most anything OD with a limey to forest Green color is usually telling you that it's a Tube Screamer clone/tribute etc -which is a mid range boost/clipping.

Weird you found the one thing that likely isn't

Re: Mid-Boost pedals . . . what is out there ?

Yeah, I've been looking at this one particular TS clone myself:

you funny, you know what I mean.

and I didn't say poopy green did I?

[Dave Locher]

Re: Mid-Boost pedals . . . what is out there ?

That there is what Bob Falfa called "a cross between pi$$ yellow and puke green."

[Aceman]

Re: Mid-Boost pedals . . . what is out there ?

That color is Zinc Chromate - a military anti-corrosion coating. The inside of every plane in WWII is painted that color.

[Aceman]

Re: Mid-Boost pedals . . . what is out there ?

Back to Green OD's.

There are exceptions, and the variation ranges widely. But yeah - if it is Green and an OD, most likely a TS9 flavor, with mid hump (more or less, or variable, or flat switch, etc).

[Gilmourista]

Re: Mid-Boost pedals . . . what is out there ?

I usually use a Tube screamer to boost the mids so i'm guessing any clone should do the job.

Re: Mid-Boost pedals . . . what is out there ?

I agree with Aceman the MXR 10 band EQ would be perfect for this & more versatile (and can work in the amp fx loop as well).

The classic TS hump is around 750 Hz.

I have not tried but there are pedals designed to have a single coil turned into a humbucker like the Seymour Duncan pickup booster.

I actually liked what the Demeter Mid-Boost can adds to the bridge pickup.
