What EQ do you use?

[Guitarvamp]

Just as simple as that - what EQ do you use? Foot pedal, rack, table top, computer, old, new, whatever. I'm thinking I can make a graph showing all the different frequencies, and how they compare to what everyone else uses.
I use a Rockman 1/2 rack EQ, a Boss 1/2 EQ, and an MXR 10 band.

I have a Behringer Ultragraph Pro at the moment. It was chosen more for availability and form factor than frequencies. I haven't been doing that much tweeking of frequencies. I've mostly messed with 250 Hz through 1 kHz, making adjustments less than 6 dB.

This is something I would like to learn more about, any updates fellas?

Thanks

Here's my setup:

The full rig. Note the Sustainor with PSRR Quad Modification. Smart Gate is in Sustainor Distortion Loop.

Thanks for the detailed closeup of your EQ settings.
After starting with the Sustainor and a Stereo Chorus, two EQ modules are my next steps.

MEQ 14 dual.

Now I just need to find the info on how to modify it to mimic a PGE2.

[rock0ut]

Is that what the PGE2 is based off of?

The MEQ came out in 1990 and the PGE2 in 1991. They use 2 different op amps. It could have been one of those, hey this is a great idea, lets make one better type of thing and the PGE2 was born. But you an conver one to have the same frequency layout just like the PGE2 and easier to get.

Currently using an ART Tube Parametric EQ. For the money, you cant get much better that actually comes in a half rack and isn't noisy.
Plus, you have incrdible flexibility to mess around with tone options, as the low and mid range have knobs within knobs to change.

Got mine for $120 I think?

In my Rev 20 Sustainor rack, I use a couple of Rockman 12 band EQ's and the first ever Digitech MEQ Dual 14 converted to PGE2 specs (I came up with the mod). I also use a MXR 10 band EQ at the start of my chain.

For my Kemper rig, I just have the MXR 10 band at teh start of my chain, all other EQ'ing was either done at the time of profiling my Rev 20, or is done in the Kemper.
