[quote name='bassbloke' post='962978' date='Sep 21 2010, 09:05 AM']The Boss 3 band paramteric EQ pedal is/was a very good piece of kit. I twas the firts pedal I ever bought and I frequently chastise myself for seling it during one of my many ill-advised ventures into Multi FX territory. However, they stopped making thos epedals some years ago, hence the high value. Also, I'd feel a bit scared gigging it knowing that I'd probaby not find a replacement easily. The MXR Bass DI+ is a brilliant pedal. I bought one earlier this year and it has totally transformed my sound. I'm always getting compliments on my bass tone and gigs and rehearsals are a doddle nowadays - gigs I can guarantee a pretty decent sound through anything with enough headroom and decent speakers and gigs - I just send a signal from the DI and run my amp flat for monitoring. Wonderful. I read an interview with John Entwistle where he said he used a parametric EQ to remove 1kHz from his sound. I tried it and the difference in tone is remarkable and that's the point of proper EQing - it's more than a selection of EQ curves it's about subtlety.[/quote] Cool some useful stuff there. I'm bidding on an MXR M80, and I may pick up one of those Boss pedals too... Nice thing about pedals is they're very easy to move on when you decide you don't want them any more!

Hey Phil, Thanks for the input. That pedal looks cool, and yeah I'd love something that did eq plus distortion... but my pedal board is so small I can only fit something small in there!

I like the look of that ebay boss pedal, although I tend to stay away from boss stuff.... I'm kinda lookin for something a bit special, or at least something very musical. Blunt but musical. That's the kind of gear I like. Stuff that's impossible to make sound bad. To put it another way - idiot proof EQ!

Hey folks, I'm delighted with my new terror bass.... it's awesome. I'm missing a bit of the mid poke that I was able to get from my LM2 though..... the mid eq on the terror bass doesn't quite do what I want it to do, despite sounding very nice. I'm looking for a nice eq to add to my pedal collection that will help with this. Any suggestions? Cheers, Jesse

You don't have to overdrive it too much to get the full potential of the amp really. Highly recommended.
