Anyone ever just boost using an EQ pedal?

[VonBonfire]

Thinking about giving Waynzo's pultec EQ a shot at boosting a cranked Twin and seeing how it plays out. Any tips?

I do on occasion for a clean boost.
GE7
I dunno about all yall fancy booteek EQs

 

[Stradazone]

Boss GE-10

 

[CrystalSky]

Sounds like a common practice?

 

[BeZo]

No, I EQ with my boost pedal.

Pultec style curve is typically used to boost. Nice Shelf/Bell combo. Great for tuning the low end.
Go parametric for the opposite (clean up / cut)
Never used it on an electric guitar…Not sure how Waynzo has his overlaps set up, I’m assume they’re more tuned for guitars.. If you’re amp is a lil anemic in the lows it could only help..

I have an Orange Two Stroke. It has 12dB of the boosts.

may I suggest this fine selection from Macy's

Yes; I use EQ as a boost, tone shaper, or both.


edit: Source Audio EQ2 or Ibanez Pentatone

As good a boost pedal as anything I’ve owned honestly.

Yup, GE-7 is my favorite boost as well.
I don't need any more clipping, I just want a level boost to hit the front end of the amp a bit harder.
And why settle for a tone control when you can sculpt your tone with 7 bands of eq.

Ahh I see I'm not the only one using those Monster Cables

 

[Techdeth]

Yes with certain amps

 

[tallcoolone]

Of course

Yeah, sometimes. I almost always have a Boss GE-10 going, for a bit of tonal shaping and maybe just a touch of boost depending on the guitar, but for more drastic boosting I gravitate towards the classic Tubescreamer/SD1 territory for some reason. That´s just the sound and feel of boosted amps for me, but I´m an 80s dude at heart and this is mainly into stock Super Leads and similar crunchy channels.

 

[2dor]

Yeah, a GE7 works great for this.

 

[sytharnia1560]

yep, I use an EQ to Boost my IRJ ... to get a tad more gain and a scoop for the Death/Dime tone

 

[SoooRad]

Another GE7 user here. I would 9/10 times rather use a GE7 than any other boost pedal.

Ew. Monster Cables.

 

[VonBonfire]

Ew. Monster Cables.

Yeah, agreed. Complete and utter trash on every level. Like draping a thick moving blanket over your speakers...seriously.
