Re: EQ Pedal Settings
Depends on the guitar, I have very specific EQ curves for Hollow and Semi Holly guitars where 400hz and 800hz are so key to getting the best possible tone on those. Depending on the guitar you will likely trim out some or a lot of 400hz or 800 hz
For most guitars overall my EQ looks like 100 (-3) 200 (0) 400 (+3) 800 (-2) 1.6 (0) 3.2 (+3) 6.4 (0) or like 2 sawtooth waveforms in a row.
looks kind of like this (ignore the numerical values)

Re: EQ Pedal Settings
I kinda find that around the 900 - 1.8 kHz range is super important for guitar tone. Drop it too low and you lose all cut and definition in your sound . . . pump it up too high and all you've got is screech. Usually I'll keep things mostly flat except for sliders in that range when I'm playing with EQ . . . and typically only bump things +/-3 dB at most to make a lead part pop out a bit more, or a rhythm bit sit a tad further back.Join me in the fight against muscular atrophy!

Originally posted by Clint 55 View PostI came up with this one just now. Sounds filthy. My favorite toanz to go for so far are woman tone or grungy tone. metalchurch made me get an eq pedal and I'm so glad I did. It's essential for me along with tuner, overdrive, and reverb. What are some settings you like?

Re: EQ Pedal Settings
My settings on my Katana. Subtle, but makes a huge difference towards sounding how I want to sound. My settings on the amp already are bass 3. mid 8. treble 9. presence 9.

Re: EQ Pedal Settings
I might use a parametric on the channel of the PA system, but usually I can get the sound I want out of my rig without using a graphic. I also figured out that when dialing in any EQ over 15 minutes gets my ears really tired, and I can't tell what sounds 'better' to me.Administrator of the SDUGF

Re: EQ Pedal Settings
Actually had to decrease volume for unity gain.
