how well does an eq pedal work in front of an amp

Extremely well for goosing, boosting or cutting certain frequencies before gain...I use a sniper mod GE-7.
 
For a Tiny Terror I'd use it as a boost, but the tone control on the TT is pretty dang good for just one knob. Lots of good tones in that little monster.

Bassy with Evos? :confused:
 
Watch it though, they are noisy as hell...all of them - Boss, DOD, MXR. Put my Boss on the pedalboard and right off it came. What I did do is get a modded Boss EQ ordered from Analogman. Mike replaces all the caps and transistors and puts a noise filter circuit in. Check them out at http://www.buyanalogman.com. I don't know that I would use it as a boost though. For that, have a look at the CAE Booster/Line Driver. It supplies like 12-20 db of boost, mild enough to make a difference but subtle enough not to erode your tone. Good for long runs of cable and tone degradation through all the effects.

I have run a danelectro fish and chips before my fender champ for tone shaping and liked the results.

I don't find it noisy either....
 
I bought a Fish & Chips back around '01 (I think. I can't remember exactly when it was.) and I have been using an EQ before EVERY amp/distortion pedal I use since then. I love the control over the tone it gives you. Though, it can be noisy depending on the EQ you use. The best results I got were using an old TC Electronic rackmount Parametric EQ I bummed from an bud. I've always wanted to try the Furman PQ-3 but haven't had the chance.
