Back in 1984 I bought a 50 watt Jcm800 half stack. Not enough gain in the preamp to get what I needed for gigs I was playing and most distortion pedals at that time I didn't like.. I noticed the boss ge7 I had had a level control..I thought hmmm..let's try this to see if it gives the preamp the sound I need to play the harder stuff like Scorpians Judas Priest Van Halen etc..There was this other guitarist I knew that was running a power attenuater after his Marshall's so he could crank them up then lower the volume to a manageable level onstage..It sounded great but he was burning through tubes alot and that was expensive and added the problem of tubes blowing out during shows. Anyway I tried boosting the signal a bit and experimented with boosting certain frequencies until a had it dialed in..Nobody ever suggested this to me and there was no KZbin in the 80s..haha. So got the killer rock tone at stage volumes that were manageable without buying the expensive power attenuater..And the tubes lasted for over 2 years of constant gigging...I found out later that Kerry King was doing pretty much the same thing..Thanks for the video..It validates what I have been doing for many years

An MXR 10-band EQ first in my pedal chain used to be my secret weapon back in the day. It's like turning your guitar into an active preamp-equipped instrument, hugely versatile. These days I'm using a Line 6 Helix which has the MXR 10-band modeled, and I start and finish each preset with an MXR. First, to shape the tone and level of the guitar, and last, to shape the final sound and adjust the level going into the DAW. It's the most versatile pedal I've ever owned.

EQ - the secret sauce. I have that 10 band MXR. I use in the fx loop. RC boost on the front end which is fairly transparent set at 12 o clock on the tone controls. I like my pickup sounds. In the front sometimes I use an EQ on my digital setup. Nice to make a hum bucket sound like a single coil or vice versa. Can also help if you have cheaper speakers in your cab. You can take a bright sound from brighter speakers and tune it more like a greenback sound.

My MXR 10 band EQ is the most important pedal on my board. Without a doubt. It will shape your tone to whatever you need, gives you all the gain boost/cut and volume boost/cut you could ever want or need. It is like an OD pedal because it will push your front end to breakup at lower volumes. It also will quiet down noisy pedals in front of it and helps the pedals after it work better. It's magic in a box

Those aren't something I would use on a guitar on its own, more as mixing and mastering tools (except perhaps in a specific live scenerio where you relied entirely on a non mic'ed cab for your guitar). I find outboard compression on metal guitars is a dangerous game that is easier to get wrong than right. I rely on compression pedals for cleans and leads often, but generally let the power amp and speakers do all the maximizing for me for rhythms.

If you're playing live or recording (unless solo at home). Usually the sound engineer has to EQ your amp or petal as well, to make it sound right. Every venue or setting will change frequency from your amp, mics, or even pickups... So when you're practicing in the garage with your buddies, you entered into a new realm going into any venue or studio. Invisible laser beams are bouncing around the room hitting the mics. High end touring groups usually do sound checks for nearly an entire day, jamming beforehand. To make sure the venue will resonate right. This takes some time even for good sound engineers. So.. sound check is pretty much the most important part. Can't go in, play one note and think the sound guy can adjust your gain and you're done. They will have to deal with every frequency you will produce in the show. Which is usually between 180-16,000hz from every instrument. Can take some time..
@MrSpasticdancer5 жыл бұрын
it makes the mix sound better in the studio too. instead of tryna use post proccessing eq to make everything fit in the mix, you can just put the eq before the amp and have the distortion emphasised naturally in the frequency range that you want it to fit into. then you wont need to do so much eq when you go to mix the song. similar ethos with the drums, if your snare is sounding dull its better to use a brighter mic on the snare rather than resort to eq-ing it after.

It provides a great range on control over your tone, and allows you to really smooth out your tone to a degree that traditional amps do not allow
@XChristianNoirX5 жыл бұрын
A noisegate in front of the Amp and in the effects loop at the same time is really useful in a 5150. If you just put it in the loop, the fx loop still bleeds direct signal. The noisegate built into the overdrive actually wolves a problem a lot of people don't know they have. That's why Periphery (when they used amps) and KSE use two noisegate at the the same time. One in the loop, and one around an overdrive, both at the same time. There are other things that make an overdrive not just an EQ pedal. Sure, some of the features are like high pass and carefully selected frequency boosts (in the djent world that is around 1.4k), but a boost does more. Take a Maxon for example... Even if you lower the volume below noon and actual have it set to less than the direct signal, you get increase harmonics that allow you to do stuff like better pinch harmonics and have longer sustain. This is because the extra gain stage adds a subtle compression effect. With an EQ pedal, you can get something similar, but it's more a function of raising the gain going into the Amp. I'm not saying an EQ is not useful.. It is very useful for shaping tone.. But it doesn't do the exact same thing as an overdrive. Similar, but not the same. I have all the overdrives and all the EQ's (well, I have at least 100 Pedals including all the usual suspects.. I had more but trying to sell some off because I don't have the time to use them all lol). They each have their flavors and uses. Some you won't be able to tell in a sound comparison that much.. Until you do harmonics it try to hold a note for as long as possible.
