This was such a great help!! It changed everything for me!

[@TheLithGH]

Trey..... you just saved my song!! After weeks of "mixing madness", I found your video and applied your suggestions, and finally my solos and melodies sound great in the mix!!! Thank you!! 🙂

[@Neutronking]

When I played live, all this fancy eq-ing stuff was unkonwn to me, so I just took a step forward and hit the wrong note. That made my solos stand out best. This shows I really need this pedal...

[@TheBlackKoma]

Hi Dad, when you comin home? 14yrs to get milk is a little much.

[@TheTinMan123]

Well my Boss eq 200 turned up today, after a few hours, I have the best tone I’ve ever had, (and I’ve had a few) I can’t quite believe just how much this pedal has helped in finding such a brilliant sound, 10/10 I can’t recommend enough

[@metalcat8323]

Thanks for the great video. I use the Boss GE-7. Since this pedal in my pedalboard I can not imagine how I could exist without it before :D My solo settings are identical to yours +/- with the exception of high frequencies. Perhaps it depends on the amp and cab, at home and at rehearsals I use Peavey 6505 + Orange PPC412 and I like to remove 6.4k frequencies. The sound becomes more powerful and richer. But, when recording or playing through a sound card, the sound can be completely changed... I mean, those settings that were good for playing through an amplifier may not be as cool as when playing through the chain -> amp - sound card - impulses. And it turns out that you always learn something new :)

Love your playing style and tone

Good morning from Argentina! Always full of info this chanel :)

[@DragonofLimerick]

Very cool! All my pedals are Boss, and I've been fighting getting a GE-7, just going to have to break down! Can't wait to see who wins this pedal from you.

[@CarNGuitarDude]

Enjoyed the video. I currently use the boost switch on the incoming buffer for solos. I’ve always wanted to get some custom eq based on certain sounds and mixes. Now I know how I can eq without all the unwanted freqs!

[@TheMoonicorn]

Nice, I've been looking for this sort of info for a while, thanks. I knew it was something to do with the EQ but couldn't figure what would work best. Some patches just seemed to disappear sonically so I'm going to give this a try. Does this work equally as well for less overdriven tones (crunch)? Can you follow it up with maybe an EQ for sitting back in the rhythm. Maybe for other styles of music also. Great job - I'm subscribing!

[@joshludge]

thank you Deadpool

[@tomhopwoodful]

excellent video! Love videos that the teacher doesnt show off for 5 min before the vid yo!

[@nickseckler]

You are awesome.

[@supernoobsmith5718]

I kick on the 5 band eq on my Mesa. But that means I have to dedicate it for that. This is a pretty amazing pedal I could actually use. I have a boost pedal but I only use it for clean leads because it does nothing for volume on high gain.

[@nicktopping2484]

Hi Dad

[@davidjeremiahb.salvacion1360]

really useful 🙂

[@myping_long]

Now, that helped me a lot. Thank you so much!

[@senorspock]

I love your videos so much

[@zoesan4517]

"Anything below a hundred doesn't need to exist". I'd disagree with that. Even in standard tuning, the lowest E sits at 82hz, which is probably something you still want to hear the fundamental of.

[@IvanDepetro.17]

Well, Low cuts aren't vertical cuts, they just sort of turn down the volume from a certain point below.. so, if you cut at 100hz, 82 hz will still exist, just a bit lower in volume, but you'll get rid of sub frequencies that you totally don't need

[@Julian66666666666666]

Yeah but you don't need all those lows on lead guitar

[@GIGeorge23]

I would argue that fundamental frequencies are less important in guitar than they are in bass.

[@supernoobsmith5718]

HOW you get your boost matters too. If your boost adds gain and not just volume that will change the character of the low frequencies. Just like having to turn down the bass when raising the gain on your amp, lest it gets woofy.

[@dsrecords22]

can you make a similar video for us detuned guitars? like a 7 string tuned to dropped g?

[@user-yw5ct1px3x]

thank you

[@offbrandneo5131]

My go to is a slight volume raise plus a slight treble boost in the mix combined with delay and tape echo

[@alexr9259]

Yeah, man!

SUper interesting video, what bugs me (not about your vid ofc) is that most of EQ pedals do not even reach a frequency above 4k...

[@TheDjfranco100]

Could be work also if I wanna play leads with the bridge pickup?

[@mjstudio7751]

Nice

[@campagnamatias]

Can you PLEASE do video of Production/Recording AND PANNING of SOLOS that becomes with harmonizations in certain part, like the solos of Dragonforce. I dont understand the panning technique they uses, because is not clear when te lead solos go to Center panning and the harmonizations goes 100% L and 100% R (if they are)

[@treyxaviermusic]

Wish I could but I don’t know either haha, sorry!

[@campagnamatias]

@@treyxaviermusic But then, how do you do to record a solo in a song that later in a certain part of the solo, harmonizations appear?

[@mysticdream866]

Nice review..

[@TommyTrentonJr]

So if thats where the lead guitar should sit in a mix, where does a rhythm guitar sit? EQ Settings for that?! Or no rule of thumb! Yes I'm new to engineering guitar sound!!

[@00Dusty]

I’m a player who played live a lot but never really recorded anything so this maybe a silly question my tone liv sound nice and full but when I record it always sound thin even when I add layered track and harmonies, how do you make it sound more full?

[@brianbarnett100]

Any idea what Hetfield's eq is? I heard he likes a certain mgz and I wanted to ask the God of Gear if he had any idea. Love your stuff man thank you!!

[@christophergregory1205]

Just take your mids to 1, bass neutral and max everything else. And take the bass guitar completely out of the mix.

[@bobbyberetta4206]

Hey you!

[@therealjackfisher]

Now how do you dial this on a parametric EQ?

That difference, to me, is as of different guitar used. It's that much. I mean the EQ does it's work.

You could make your solo louder…or everything else quieter! 😮

@@j_c_93 I know that, infact Marshall amps were modded bassman... So being the first to add gain stages is the reason why all the others followed Marshall.

Are these eq’s in the loop, or after the drive pedal, in front of the preamp?

[@danroberts9050]

So basically boost the mids and roll off the lows.

Def first comment here

[@AlexisGitarre]

sorry but you have had the level KRANKED on the EQ in comparison! you see it on the level on the track. so it's not unity gain in comparison because of the boosted frequencys. you should have lowered the EQ level even further but therefore your dialed in sound would have sucked.
