Re: Good Parametric EQ\'s RULE

Which one are you using? I'm getting a G-major which has a PQ in it. Would you recomend a stand alone unit? If so which one?

Re: Good Parametric EQ\'s RULE

Cut and pasted from one of my posts on one of the many P-EQ threads:

The "digital" parametric in the G-Major is "nice" to have, but truly isn't a good representative of a true parametric like a TC-1140 or a furman. Just good for mild tweaking here and there IMO. There is something interesting about the TC and Furman that can make a somewhat sedate amp chug and crunch nicely.

Buy the G-Major, because it is one of the best time based effect units around for the money, and not so much for the EQ in it.

Although I also had very high hopes for the EQ, it is merely "nice" to have in that unit, and sadly isn't really "the" selling point of that unit.

I am using a Rane SP-15. It is very similar to the Furman 5 band which I believe is a PEQ-5.
The TC-1104 is very good too.
I wouldn't recommend getting a Parametric until after you get your G-Major. You might not need it. I bought one to address a specific problem frequency in my guitar tone. It did the job bigtime and allowed me to shape my guitar sound exactly the way I wanted it to sound like. Its the single best piece of tone shaping gear I have purchased in a really long time.

I have a Rane PE-17 on the way. I used to use a parametric EQ pedal once in a while - that was fun.

Re: Good Parametric EQ\'s RULE

I used to run graphic EQ's with my amps...I found that I always ended up liking them better without them in it.

That said, I don't like the 5150 cab all that much, and don't see a need to put a BBE in the loop (but I might try it out soon). I'm definitely in the minority.

Graphic EQ's are for pussies. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] No wonder you like the amp better without one. Parametric is the only way to go.

Re: Good Parametric EQ\'s RULE

Which brand and model P/EQ do you guys reccomend for my first one? Do you run them in front or through the loop? I never owned one. Thanks-Jack.

Re: Good Parametric EQ\'s RULE

I used to use graphics and then about 3 years ago I got my first PQ. Never go back. Graphic eq's are a waste of money IMO.
