CHASING TONE:
As guitar players we all want that sweet sound that is just perfect to us. And of course to everyone listening. We want to cut through the mix when we solo. And really all the time to be honest, haha. Some are occasional explores, some mess with tone often, then there are us just straight tone tweakers. Even if you have your tone set, this is worth exploring.
So I just did a post about using an OD into a RAT 2, in order to achieve more full on fuzz sound. But I also added, that you can change the voice and expression of this idea, with an EQ pedal. The power of an EQ pedal is so over looked. Like for example big muffs have a mid scoop. Some may want those mids back. Many have used a Tube Screamer type OD for this. Well instead more efficient, and precisely an EQ pedal will fill this role much better. Maybe you it's an amp, a guitar, or some other pedal. EQ IT! I find that placing it after my drives is where it really shines.
What First EQ To Get?
I wanted to try this out after seeing it recommended by true pros. So I went with Behringer. For $25, to test out in the bedroom. Unbeatable. Now there are some fancy EQ'S out there, but they all do the same thing. With the exception that some have more bands then others to attenuate, or accentuate. The one I got has seven. It's a direct copy of the boss EQ. It is a good pedal. Certainly if you aren't planning to gig it. And just a quick word, on Behringer. They actually supply companies like JHS with parts they use to build their pedals. As well as , many others. They clone just about anything popular, but they do pretty good at it. If you are looking to try something you haven't then they are great for this. I will be doing a video on my Behringer EQ very soon. Look out for that!!!
