Daz39 Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 (edited) I'm liking the look of this beastie: much improved and expanded from the first version with parametric eq, noise gate and limiter, hpf and shelving options, and all the stereo, hub and midi wizardry that makes my head hurt. https://www.sourceaudio.net/eq2_programmable_equalizer.html# Edited May 21, 2020 by Daz39 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fretmeister Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 It does look cool. But being a luddite I think I prefer the Boss EQ-200 for ease of use and old fashioned slidey things! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobthedog Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 I have an earlier version of that. Great bit of kit, although not on my pedal board atm. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GisserD Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 Our very own @Quatschmacher has one of these. He has been helping them bugtest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuzzie Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 Probably one of the coolest things is the noise gate added in, small thing but mighty useful 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellzero Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 Is it available over here now, because I was waiting for the release of this new version instead if buying the first generation ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellzero Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 Urm, urm, the price is also delirious and we'll have to wait 4 to 6 weeks for the first delivery ! https://m.thomann.de/gb/source_audio_sa_270_one_series_eq2.htm I'll forget about this one..

I’d say for what is under the hood that’s not actually a bad price - there is a buckettonne or tech in it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellzero Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 I understand that, but for me it's only the programmable EQ section that's interesting, I have absolutely no use of the rest. The fully parametric programmable EQ and the computerised ones are a great plus over the first version for sure, but not at tree times the price. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fretmeister Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 £100 more than the Boss. Mmmmmmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quatschmacher Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 It is indeed a very powerful tool. The tuner is great and will replaces tuners on boards easily. It can be used as a very tasty foot-sweepable filter. You can sweep four bands using the onboard external control section. Via MIDI you can sweep all 10, feed them moving patterns like the Moog MURF. Ironically for foot sweepable stuff it’s better for that than the C4 as it covers the whole 20Hz-20KHz range whereas the C4 caps at 6Khz. Here I use the C4’s factory patch “EDM Swell” into the EQ2 to sweep the filters. Due to the dual channel arrangement, you can use the pedal at two points in your signal chain simultaneously with independent settings.

Hah - I knew you'd corrupt a clever eq pedal into another filter - you just want to confuse all the 'which filter pedal do I need?' posters! Does it have a similar function to the EQ1 with the random sweep thingy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old fashioned slidey things will definitely have an advantage on that score. It is useful to have preset EQs to recall though. Fortunately I get that functionality for no extra cost on my multifxs.

Does it have a similar function to the EQ1 with the random sweep thingy? I’ve never used the original EQ pedal so don’t know what features it has. The EQ2 doesn’t have a random sweep. I did ask about putting in an LFO and basic envelope like in the modulation pedals; Jesse had considered it but wanted to avoid the whole MIDI clock thing. I managed to get it to do phasers too as you can dial in four sweepable notches internally (more via midi). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
