What EQ do you use?

[willpirkle]

DBX 215S, a stereo 2/3 octave EQ with switchable 6/12 dB boost/cut. You can get em brand new for about $250, less for used units. No reason to pay $1000 for a pair of Scholz Instrument EQs (IMO). The current prices are insane ($400+ is just whacky for a graphic EQ).

If you need it modded, I may be able to help you with that.... I'd have to order the parts though since I don't think I have them handy.

Sounds like a plan.

Not sure where you get your parts from Bob. You may want to check out arrow.com. I have no clue how they do it. You can buy 1 resistor for 5 cents and they will ship it overnight to ya. :o

When you do the mod on each band, do you replace both resistors and caps?

Yeah, there's 2 capacitors and 2 resistors that have to be changed for each band, for each channel. There are a few that don't have to change because they are already correct, and there are some that are correct, but end up having to be moved to a different band due to the frequency resolution shifts going on. So it's a LOT of parts to change.

BTW, in reality, I don't think it's as critical for the pre-distortion to have the resolution of the PGE2, but it definitely helps for post-distortion.
In light of that, I do have a couple of Digitech Mono28 EQ's available if you'd rather go that route... (you would only need one).
It's even finer resolution than the PGE2 (28 bands vs 14), so that could be a better (and cheaper) solution for you to consider.

Thanks, this is really useful. If I can find clear information about the mods for it, I'm tempted to pick one up and write a midi based software editor/DAW based VST/AU for it, similar to my other projects for other gear. If anyone can help, please let me know.
