What is an Equalizer?

[Jon87]

Okay,..I have a Marshall MG50DFX combo. The cleans on it are amazing (mostly why i got it)...but the distortion is horrible. So...I have a Boss DS-1 that i switch to on my clean channel. Well the distortion is good, but i want it a bit more warmer and rounder. Would an equalizer do this, plus be able to boost the volume?
If an equalizer can't,..is there any way to?

Yes, an equilizer can help fix the tones problems of the boss pedal and increase the volume, another option I can think of the definetly helps with volume is the Seymour Duncan Pick-up booster.
It has options to make a single coil sound like either a vintage or a madern humbuckers, so while boosting the signal it creates great tone, just another option for ya...
Rock On. :smoker:

When someone punches you and then you pull out a 44 Magnum !

Short definition....an EQ boosts or cuts frequencies.

Did you use the suggested manual settings? Sometimes they sound better than what we just up and dial in on the fly. I had that amp one time and the cleans (sometimes with 'verb) were gorgeous.

i have one too. try using the presets that were with the manual. it sounds better on those settings or try going to this site:

http://www.tonesettings.com/tone/Marshall/27/

they have pretty good settings there. i love the 70's drive setting for my MG50DFX.

try the boss ge-7 or some other equalizers to fix your problem. also try what Kac said. the SD pickup Booster or BBE Sonic Maximizer.. hope this helps. :1:

boost the mids all the way, play with bass heavy tones, and cut back on the gain.

thats what I did, and i found a good, round but tight sound.
