deepblue Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 What should I look for in an equalizer?....never had one before and feel it may be what I need with the new pedal setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHO Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 I'd say the first thing you want to decide is if you want a parametric or a graphic one. The graphic one will have a number of set frequencies you can cut or boost, while a parametric will have a number (usually fewer than the graphic) of bands where you can adjust the frequency you want to boost or cut. To generalise, and for me personally, I'd use the graphic one if you want to change the overall tone completely, or use a parametric if you like the tone you have but just want to go in a fix a little something that is missing or that there is too much of.

Thundergod Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 I use the little knobby thingies on the fron of my amp. And the other knobby thingies on my guitar. Me too! And most of my amps have only 2 or 3 of them, most of my guitars have only 1 vol 1 tone also! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L5Larry Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 I use the little knobby thingies on the fron of my amp. And the other knobby thingies on my guitar. I'm with AXE on this one (as usual). If you can't dial in the pure tone your looking for with your guitar plugged straight into your amp, then you are using the wrong guitar, wrong amp, or both. Nothing kills the natural sound of a guitar more than a bunch of stompboxes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have much more control with a 10-12 band eq, than the standard 3 bands that come on most amplifiers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
