Anyone try putting an EQ in the serial or parallel loop of the vh4?
I'm currently in a band that plays in C standard and drop Bb and am looking for something to "tighten it up" a bit.
 
Never played a VH4 but I will not play any amp without an eq in the loop. Secret sauce in my world. Makes every amp I've owned/played sound like the tone I expect to hear. Many scoff at the notion of playing with an eq or OD pedal and that's fine, to each is own. I get PHENOMENAL results. And I'm not put out by using them even on a $5000 amp :yes: As far as tightening IMHO, I get much better results on that front with a TS type pedal "clean" boosting the front end. Others mileage will surely vary but that's my 2.

What type of EQ do you normally use?
I've always used a Maxon od 808 out front set to a very clean boost with the tone knob at 2:00 and have always been happy but am looking for other tonal options.
Drop tuning is new to me :doh:
 
MXR 10 band. I'm sure there's better out there, but it's served me well the last 11 years.
 
Mesa 5 band pedal... used in both the serial loop and channel insert for channel 3. Set it up in the class "V" shape and enjoy. It makes the VH4 sound evil.
 
MXR 10 Band, works in serial or channel loop. Do not place EQ in parallel loop.
 
I run a Source Audio 4 channel.

All 4 channels get their very own EQ curve.

Is bast.

never heard, do you have a link?

I had a source Audio EQ once, but that basically sucked a lot?

thanks
 
I run a Mesa five band in the loop of my dual recto and had incredible tone shaping abilities. Would love to hear what it would sound like in a VH4
