  • By using an EQ pedal and hearing its effect and its use. But strictly in theory I must admit I can't mentally grasp why an EQ pedal is useful.

    Shouldn't the guitar amp's treble, bass, mid, EQ be enough to shape the sound? Unless I'm already maxing a frequency on the amp, I don't understand why or how a freq knob on a pedal can be used to change the sound in a way that the amp cannot. Maybe it's a dumb question, or maybe I never fully understood EQ (even though it seems really simple)

  • Simple Bass Mid and Treble controls on an amp are no way near as precise as the EQ on the Empress. Also, having it on a pedal means you're not stuck with those settings, especially helpful for extreme EQ shifts.

  • Nothing like leaving the box bare aluminum and calling it "limited edition silver finish!"

  • Yup it is. And we're proud of it.

  • this sounds like shit

  • Avon!

  • So I guess they ran out of blue paint that month. They decided to release it unpainted as a limitied run.

  • straight or fx loop???

  • @ApotheosiZ Yes, you can use this with 18 volts

  • Nice demo of sounds andy, but how about telling/showing us viewers what each switch/knob actually does.

  • Hey can anybody tell me if it's safe to run this thing at 18V? Because I just got one a few days ago and I wanted it after my distortions so I placed it where my MXR Chorus was (the MXR runs at 18V and the ParaEQ is suppose to be 9) and I forgot to change the DC power brick plug-in to a 9 so I had it running at 18 for about an hour and it was devastating, definitely the heaviest sound I've ever had. Then when I came back I realized I had the voltage wrong, it was clearer but not as brutal after.

  • @Eldererr yarp, its avon i believe

    

  • 4:20 QoTSA?

  • nice demo
