DI with an EQ pedal

Here's a link to a sample recording.

[attachment=22112:DI_Test.mp3]

The first 2 bars (first half of riff) were recorded on a Marcus Miller 4 string Jazz (in passive mode)>Edirol FA-101>Logic.

The next 2 bars were recorded in the same manner, but with an extra: MM Jazz (passive)>Boss GEB-7 (7 band EQ pedal)>Edirol FA-101>Logic.

It's a subtle difference. You'll hear it better if you use a set of headphones.

Apparently, according to my friend, the EQ pedal changes the impedance of the signal, thereby altering the tone.

What exactly is going on to achieve this subtle improvement? Is this doing exactly the same job as a DI box will do?

Hi Tim,

I'm assuming that the Boss pedal was bypassed right?

If you use the HiZ input on your FA-101, you won't need a DI box (or the Boss pedal).

As for the tone change (whether it's an improvement or not is personal opinion) it's down to cost cutting on behalf of Boss by not using a true bypass design. See [url="http://www.muzique.com/lab/truebypass.htm"]here[/url] for more info.

All the best,

Sean.
