I just recently decided to try EQ on my tone.
I read an interesting post on this forum and acted on it.
My GMajor has a parametric EQ.
The GMajor is in my FXLoop.
Now I am hooked on how great this feature is.
My questions are:
Which is better, placing EQ in front of the amp or in the FXLoop, indecently the little bit of EQ tweaking I did with three frequencies (100Hz, 200Hz and 3.0kHz) made a world of difference in tone tweaking and making the notes sing and come out in the mix.
Is there a stereo EQ available, as I use two amps, unless the consensus is to place in front of the amp, whereby I could place the EQ in front of the A/B/Y splitter, not that I think this is acceptable, as I do not know and this is why I love this forum.
What EQs whether pedal, stereo/mono or rack do any of you suggest.
I am looking for true bypass and quality in all my gear, but come on, I am not rich.
The amount I am looking to spend would be less than $200.00.
Then again some of you might think that the GMajor EQ is sufficient, as I am able to select any frequency between 20Hz-40kHz. I am able to increase or decrease by 12dB and finally I have the ability to select the amount of "frequency range" or "width" that I would like to be affected along with my selected frequency. So I can either narrow down my tweaking to just the frequency I select or open up the width to allow surrounding frequencies to also be tweaked. The bad thing about this EQ is that you are only allowed three frequencies to tweak.
Now, being new to this leads me to believe that more is better...hmmm, not sure though. Maybe what I have is enough, or maybe a more elaborate EQ would allow for better isolation of frequencies and therefore produce better results. Also, I bet there are programmable EQs that can be midi controlled, although I am sure they are out of my price range.
I am thinking about a DBX 231.
Well dig in guys and have fun, I am really interested in what you have to say, thanks all.
