EQ for Electric Guitar

Notes · 15th March 2007

Hi guys,

What do you think would be a wise choice for an EQ dedicated to electric guitar, but not for recording, but for shaping the tone in conjunction with the amp?

Maybe something in the vein of the old Boss GE-10?...Is the Boss QE-20 the "same" but updated?... I´ve heard that the GE-10 had some "personality".
What are your thoughts on the MXR M-108?

Your suggestions will be appreciated,

Thanks in advance,

J.

Unless you are wanting a midrange boost for solo's to cut through my personal feeling is if the amp doesn't do it then get another amp.

I was surprised how much I liked the GE-10. Very useful for that last 1%.

I like the MXR 10-band eq. Makes a huge difference, and expands the amp's versatility. I put it in the FX loop (with nothing else). I first had the Boss eq, but it was too noisy for me. The MXR is very quiet.
