This Sonicake pedal definitely has my attention. Thanks for making this video happen Kyle.

I got this pedal in the mail today based on your rec. I have a EVH 5150 15w and on the amp I boost the lows and mids, cut the highs, and add presence to compensate for the lower highs. I also bump up the resonance. Then on the EQ in the FX loop, I set the low sliders in a sort of left to right upward slant, cut the mid sliders in an upward arrow, and highs in a downward right to left slant. I use a Ibanez TS7 on the "Hot" setting, which is supposed to sound like running two Tubescreamers together. So it gives a ton of midrange, which is why I have to cut the mids with the EQ. I always play in E standard but I like to make my guitar have a downtuned flavor.

@Stretchwreckedem469 4 месяца назад

I use my Crush Pro 120 with a graphic EQ in the loop as well as a clean mid boost in front that shapes the tone and adds more of a level boost instead of adding extra gain in front of the amplifier. It truly does sound much closer to a tube amplifier than playing the amp without one. One of my favorite things about the Crush Pro 120 with a graphic EQ is that because the amp only has bass, middle, and treble controls to dial in your tone, you don’t really have to worry about going too far with the graphic EQ while being mindful of the face knobs, giving you all the flexibility you could ever need to shape your tone without risking going overboard with shaping your tone.

Overdrives are like unbuild eq pedals with preset. So using eq before the amp is for changing gain character of the amp meanwhile using eq in a loop is for changing the tone color.

@VC279 Месяц назад

Hey Kyle, I'd like to see a video about the EQ in front of the amp, maybe comparing it a little to the "in the loop" thing. EQ up front should be a highly flexible solution in stead of a overdrive (TS, no drive) as dialling back the bass should tighten up things a lot. Maybe you could even compare the EQ to a TS for that porpuse. Thanks!

@user-jn7ud7cu5w 10 месяцев назад

yes EQs are a must, BUT.....amp manufacturers need to start incorporating switchable parallel/series effects loops as STANDARD instead of just having parallel, because they are useless for EQs, boosts, gates etc. That's one of the reasons I took a preference to Hughes and Kettner amps to begin with---they never shorted you on important features like MIDI or switchable FX loop. Those are MUST-HAVE features for every modern player. No questions asked.

I just upgraded my noname chinese 2x12 to basically a pair of Matamp 2x12s and the difference is kind of disappointing. My chinese cab sounds so clear and studio like, and the new ones with ''real'' speakers almost sound fake, like a small practice amp kind of tone, and also kind of distant. any ideas at all? the new cabs are also huge 2x12s with Celestion G12T100s and Eminence Tonkers, so maybe that has something to do with it? I had an Emperor 2x12 with V30s and same issue. Using an Orange CR120 so maybe thats it ? One cab sounding that way, well ok. But three ? Has to be something I’m doing wrong right

@killacoiler1707 Год назад

I have always thought that an amplifiers 3 band on board EQ has limited tone shaping. I added 7 band EQ to almost every rig I have used for live gigs that wasn't some sort of modeler. Sure if you run your amp into a sound board and skip using cabinets all together you can shape the sound post amplification but it isn't the same as shaping before the pre-amp or between the pre-amp and power amp sections. It depends on the amp whether I run the pedal before the pre-amp or through the effects loop between pre and power. For example; my Fender Ultimate Chorus combo has to be EQ before the pre-amp otherwise I lose the stereo chorus effect and it has plenty of shimmer on the top but the mid section control is either too much or too little it doesn't have really great fine tunability of the onboard mid level. The bottom end is okay but can get flabby and needs just a bit of punch. I have relied on the Boss GE -7 pedal for a while now but with this pedal being as inexpensive as it is I may have to give a 10 band a run. Thanks for the demo.

@smeemusic Год назад

I'm getting ready to list my mxr eq on reverb and then upgrade to the boss eq200. I could really use the midi switching and 4 different eq settings. I'm wanting it to improve my clean channel on the power amp side. I really would like to experiment with an eq on the preamp side for my drive channels. But I may end up using it for post eq. It doesn't really matter though because I use a boss es8 switcher and I can put any pedal connected to it into the pre or post position instantly. So I could have it pre for one amp channel and post for another channel. Right now with my mxr eq, I'm limited to 1 eq setting. I currently use my eq as a megaphone effect. You know all mids and kill the highs and lows. But eqs are far too powerful of tools to just lock it in as a megaphone. I have other needs for an eq. I thing upgrading to the boss eq200 is the exact correct move for me.

I'd like to get the Source Audio EQ2 so that I can have saved presets. I am more old school and just have a modified Boss EQ in my loop for leads and went I want more mids. I just need to have something up front too. I only use the loop EQ fo. Leads though. It might drive me nuts using it for rhythm since I can often adjust my amps EQ per guitar and room, situation. I'd go nuts constantly adjusting a large loop EQ, so I just use it for leads. I use a smaller boost with basic EQ up front for adjustments on the fly.
