MXR M108S Ten Band EQ Pedal,Silver

Product Information

Try moving the EQ pedal around in your signal chain if you’re getting too much noise or hiss from it. The advantage of an EQ is that it can make small, subtle changes that can perfect your tone or expand upon the range of sound that you’re already getting from your other pedals. Or you could simply set the pedal flat (Everything to 0) and use the gain control as a boost for guitar solos. I’ve got the Wampler Pantheon and Mad Professor Sweet Honey Overdrive (SHOD for short) on the board atm. They’re two of my favourite pedals. And the MXR 10-band EQ helps me make them sound even better. On top of that, you can run this pedal in stereo and use different EQ settings on the left and right sides. To get this tone, boost the mids (500, 1K, and 2K) all the way to +12 dB (max), and cut the rest of the frequencies to -12 dB (both highs and lows). This will give you a highly mid-focused sound that’s somewhat like a Wah-Wah filter but stays fixed. B) Lo-Fi Sound

EDIT: my current signal chain is: Amp > Reverb > EQ > Drive > Compression [Looper > Flanger in FX Loop]. Because EQ is a dynamics processor, you’ll want it close to the beginning, but not totally. Just don’t put it at the end like reverb/chorus. C) Press the Footswitch to Turn the Pedal On and Adjust EQ To remove the blue LEDs, you need a pair of tweezers or similar tools. I used the pliers that I got from Lidl. 🙂 You also need to cut the legs of the replacement LEDs as they feature pretty long legs. The experience I had with the product generally was pretty good, but with some of the things I noticed, I was a bit disappointed. The Box Content! You could also use the EQ pedal to boost or subtract certain frequencies which is how you mould your sound.Once you get used to using an EQ pedal, you can use the same basic principles on any EQ pedal and any other EQ as well – even a plugin in a DAW. So if you decide to get another pedal later on, such as the Boss GE-7, the same techniques can be applied. MXR 10 Band EQ features a lightweight aluminium chassis, extremely bright (!) blue LEDs, true bypass switching and dual outputs. You probably all know the feeling. You’ve got a cool amp, some nice-sounding pedals, and a good guitar, which in combination sounds great. Additionally, I’ve found that the newer MXR 10-Band EQ (the silver one) has better noise reduction circuitry. Connect your guitar to your amplifier’s input (or if you have pre-FX pedals, connect it to them). Connect the amp’s ‘Effects Send’ to your EQ pedal’s input, and the output of the pedal to the amp’s ‘Effects Return’.

You can get a lot of great, weird, nasty, and uniquely experimental tones by using an EQ pedal. Here are some fun examples to try out. A) Fixed Wah Sound As always, however, don't be overwhelmed by the visual cues - your ears should always be your guide for what sounds good in a guitar tone, or either a live or studio full-band mix.

There’s also an 18V power supply in the box. At first, I didn’t realise it was an 18V power supply. I just assumed it was a bundled power supply, and didn’t try it. This, combined with a beefy, distorted amp tone, should get you a fuzzy tone that sounds heavy and has a lot of presence even in a full band mix (Pro Audio Land has some more settings too).

I guess only downside to the EQ2 would be the requirement of connecting it to a computer and using an app to set it up and take full advantage at all these incredible features. This will set up the EQ pedal inside your amp’s FX loop, which is designed to be after the preamp (which adds gain) but before the power amp (which adds volume). this is where the 'body' of the sound comes from. Some snares will have their overtones in this area, and it can overwhelm their 'snap', which generally sits somewhere in the 'bite' frequencies. But I understand the strategy behind this pricing. There are a lot more complex, DSP-based EQ pedals on the market and they cost a lot more than an MXR 10 Band EQ. So they kinda positioned them in between these products and some of the more generic and simpler EQ pedals.The aluminum housing is used to keep all of the "guts" of the pedal safe is strong. Aluminum is also reasonably lightweight. The MXR Ten Band EQ pedal is not the smallest pedal you'll have on the board, but it may be one of the most useful. It works in conjunction with all of the other effects on the board.
