Great playing!

[@bcm1621]

Excellent info, appreciate this. Thank you!

[@marksr12]

EQ makes everything better, it's like puttin butter or bacon in your chain. Great video and I'm gonna get one of those pedals!

[@slicksalmon6948]

very interesting. Thank you.

[@brendanflaherty6696]

Thanks, this is really useful stuff. That “underdrive” concept, to get sort of an anti-lead-boost, is particularly intriguing. Unrelated to that, I wonder if one of these would help me with a soundhole pickup that I haven’t been getting along with… as many of them do, it’s got this clanky, Strat-neck-pickup-esque thing happening on the plain strings that is very unpleasant, at least in an acoustic context. I suppose I’ve got to figure out what that problem frequency is first, and if I’m lucky, this EQ pedal will have it. Cheers man!

[@AlexPriceMusician]

Sure! Check out the Empress Parametric EQ or something similar. That’ll give you more control over which frequencies you need to boost or cut.

[@yunowot]

Hi, would you still recommend the hx stomp for acoustic-piezo combination [4 years ago]? That's what I've got and is all I can afford but someone's offered a really
cheap second hand one. Thanks.

[@StickyKeyArchives]

I cant find Sparkling Sea on spotify, is it there?

[@JUN01985]

Thanks Alex, some great examples here. I tend to prefer the seven band EQs like the boss ge-7 or joyo you showed which has the same bands as the ge-7... Just a little nerdy aside about the Mesa, they added the Mesa 5 band EQ on the "Express +" models which actually came out after the og express amps but not for very long. I think they discontinued them around the time that they came out with the markV 25 and 35 series amps. Either way I think using an EQ pedal in the effects loop of any amp could have a similar effect as the Mesa graphic. Cheers!

[@AlexPriceMusician]

Oh cool! I thought I had recalled the store clerk saying the opposite, but my memory isn’t too great haha

[@picksalot1]

EQ is a very effective way to shape the tone and transform the sound of any guitar. I used a Boss GE-7 before I started using Modelers. The convenience of being able to instantly recall any number of different EQ settings in a Modeler has made EQ an even more powerful tool for tone shaping. Do you find any significant tone differences in Pedal EQ versus Modeler or DAW EQ?

[@AlexPriceMusician]

The only difference to me would be between different types of EQ pedals - parametric vs graphic vs something super simple like an amp’s EQ. They all kind of have a different purpose.

[@stevenjones2371]

can you do a flager sound on this

[@AlexPriceMusician]

No, it's just EQ

[@jimjimjimjimjim]

EQs also cause a phase shift. You also get tonal variations due to these phase causing changes in the overtones and harmonics.

[@ResaAdilaksana]

can usen9v battery?

[@ERIKPLATA]

No.

[@djSpinege]

Tone group would have made way more sense than Grolip

[@Charlie_Underscore]

What's the name of the Mic your using to talk into? I've seen it around but I have no idea what brand or model.

[@AlexPriceMusician]

It’s an Electro Voice RE-20
