All that said, Shufflebeat's comments about the Mooer Radar got me interested in that. In order not to sidetrack this discussion, I'm going to start another thread about the Radar. I have a bit of experience with IRs, but not with this particular unit, so I'd be interested in anyone's input. Again, thanks. |

equalizer pedal recommendations?
+1 for the Empress Para Eq - I have a first-generation. The learning curve is simple. It is a very versatile tone shaping pedal for acoustic and electric guitar. It works great to eliminate feedback. I had to send it back to the manufacturer after 10+ years because of pot noise. They repaired it at no charge and covered the cost of return shipping from Canada to the US.

Carl Martin 3 Band Parametric Pre-Amp
Carl Martin 3 Band Parametric Pre-Amp is great.
https://www.carlmartin.com/3-band-parametric-eq And here's Michael Thompson demoning it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3dct6OGAp20 I got mine from Thomann in a great deal but nowadays they seem to be expensive. I paid £130 new, but now they're £200 new! Nuts. |

I have had superb results with an Analogman modded GE7. The upgraded components make a gigantic difference. Silky smooth and so musical.

Sooo-
I have a modded Boss GE-7, an Empress Para EQ, the new Source Audio EQ2 and Tech21 Q-strip. Signs of OCD... The Source Audio EQ2 is the king in its ability to be programmed to do exactly what you want it to do, but not great for on-the-fly changes. It resides on on main (band) pedal board because I switch between different guitars. The Empress ParaEQ is the best in terms of surgical, gig-ready usability for notching out offending frequencies. Totally transparent/quiet. The Empress got replaced on my acoustic pedal board with the Q-Strip. The Q-Strip is warmer and has 2 bands of semi-parametric mid EQ. I'm digging it. The modded GE-7 is super-quiet, but I use it mainly for clean-boost through the effects loop of my electric guitar amp. It wasn't really surgical enough (for me) for use with acoustic guitar- YMMV. I'm probably more of an outlier though since I run my acoustic signal chain through a Radial Firefly DI box to add tube warmth...(after Tonedexter and Q-Strip)....or I may have lost my marbles somewhere along the line. Matt
