MXR M108S Ten Band EQ Pedal,Silver

Product Information

From 30Hz to 200Hz range is usually considered bass or low-end frequency range while 200Hz to 800Hz is a mid-frequency range and lastly 800Hz to 12.8kHz is treble, high or high-end frequency range. Why Do You Need an EQ Pedal? Whether you’re using it to fix a frequency issue or to change your sound completely, an EQ pedal is, in my opinion, an essential piece of equipment to own. This can add or cut 12dB of gain and will help shape the overall gain structure of your tone (as I discuss below). To use the EQ pedal, just play a chord on your guitar and adjust the faders one by one until you get the tone you’re looking for. For example, if you’ve heard that a Fender Deluxe Reverb has a great mid-range tone, pull down your highs and lows a little bit on the EQ pedal to accentuate the mids. Or, you could try increasing the mid-range if you prefer to boost.

Accessory Coverage: Any peripheral devices or accessories that come with your product (i.e. foot pedal, case) are also covered. About the noise issues that some people mentioned, I haven’t had any noise issues whatsoever. Not sure what they are talking about really. It’s pretty quiet and it sounds excellent. Price Tag

Tech Specs

Parametric EQ is very common in studio applications, with the most common set of EQ moves for a guitar being to apply two or three parametric bands as well as high pass and low pass filters. The ParaEQ will allow you to have this kind of control live, in a pedal format with high headroom. EQ pedals are powerful enough to go so far as to modify your amplifier’s sound. You can go to the extent that it’ll sound completely different, so much so that it’s not even the same amplifier anymore. Then, start by slowly increasing the gain slider on the right of the MXR EQ. As you increase it, keep playing some power chords and listen to the tone. You should get a crunch tone at first, and as you increase it further it will feel like a proper overdriven tone. Euge Valovirta did a great video where he compared three EQ pedals and argued the same point. If I recall correctly, he said if he were going to the studio to record, he would probably bring an EQ pedal in case the in-house amplifier wasn’t his style. 1) Connect The MXR 10-Band EQ to Your Regular Signal Chain (In Front)

The MXR 10-band EQ is a popular choice among guitarists because it can take your guitar tone to the next level. It’s really crazy what you can accomplish with a basic EQ pedal. That said, guitarists are often unable to see the opportunities it presents, and therefore struggle to use it at its potential. There are also parametric EQ pedals and units. Just imagine the basic EQ controls on your amps, you can apply parametric curves to certain frequency groups by turning the knobs instead using the sliders. Of course, there are also design principles that make these two EQ types different. But hey, let’s keep it simple here. 🙂 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. First and foremost, we are guitarists, and we want other players to find the right product for them. So we take into careful consideration everything from budget to feature set, ease of use and durability to come up with a list of what we can safely say are the best EQ pedals on the market right now.I bought the Boss GE-7 last year. It’s become one of those pedals that I reach for a surprising amount. I use it for anything from making two guitars sound similar to helping certain pedals work better with certain guitars. As you may already know, EQ stands for equalisation and is possibly the most overlooked guitar pedal/effect. The audible frequencies we can hear can be found in a pretty wide spectrum. Human ears can identify frequencies from 20Hz to 20kHz. That said, adjusting these frequencies will make a difference, in my opinion. You can definitely get some more bass and sparkle into your tone by adjusting the lowest and highest parameter on the MXR 10-Band EQ. In my experience, an EQ pedal on a pedal board is often used subtly. A little bass-cut here, a little high-boost there, that sort of thing. Subtly enough that when I stomp on the EQ’s bypass switch, I might not immediately be able to tell the difference between on and off. this is where you might find the fundamental of the snare. Sounds here go from 'rumble' to 'growl' and 'bloom'.

Warmth: this is often a wide hump centred around the mids; think the sound of the Ibanez Tube Screamer

So far, I haven’t been able to hear any real difference between the two.) Effortless EQing The MXR M108S gives you the control you need when other pedals can't quite finish the tonal tweaking job. Having the freedom to find the high and low-level frequencies you need adds a ton of versatility to your tone and allows you to find the exact sound you're looking for. The most obvious one is to remove all these LEDs and end up with a completely dead-looking pedal! 🙂 This is pretty practical but you would not be able to distinguish if your pedal is on. To elaborate, not too many pedals have a full TEN band EQ and the fact that this one does makes a world of difference, you can adjust and tweak the EQ to perfection, no quality loss in the signal, no unwanted noise.
