Graphic EQ.

[Trev57]

Having spent some time with my recently purchased Mark V, I have to say that the singularly most impressive tone shaping tool is the very simple looking 5 band graphic equaliser. I have not had an amp before that has one built in like this, but it makes me wonder how useful it might be in the loop of my Stiletto? I have installed a bias mod kit in my Deuce, and it has certainly transformed the amp, but it still lacks that bottom end that I have had in other amps. In fact, I wonder if a volume pot, gain pot and a 31 band graphic would give me as much versatility as all the modes? Has anyone else done this?

What is the serial no. of your amp?

The Deuce or the Mark V?

It's popular among owners of many different amps to put a 10-band EQ in the effects loop for tone-shaping. E.g., I used to use the MXR 10-band with my 5150s and XXX.

And was it as effective as the graphic on the Mark V?
