I use a WMD parametric EQ sometimes as it can be fun to get some muffled sounds and stuff like that there. I also like using it on my shruti box to bring out the lows. I don't know if you shruti or not.

I use the cyber psychic and sound saw. More as stand alone fuzz/drive kinda things than filtering other pedals. Mostly just use the amp eq.

The 10 band ones (mxr and stuff) and the other like 6 band ones where what all the hip emo bands used back in the day to make their Carvins sound good.

I know some people used the Tokai exciter for solos.

I guess i always just put everything to treble boost/bass cut/mid cut.

Been kinda thinking of doing the 10 band thing for channel A of my beta lead just to do something (eh, maybe I will just run another ring mod instead).

I used a DOD EQ pedal in the effects loop of one of my Beta Lead channels to make it into a "lead" channel. Sounded rad, brought the mids up out of the Beta swamp. I ended up trading it for a simple mid boost pedal (EQD Arrows) because all the sliders were too much to fuck with in a live situation, but the EQ pedal was more versatile and sounded better than the boost.

I had two mxr 6 bands on my board but that was to correct things I didn't like about my distortion. Then I discovered the Elements and all of a sudden my eqs were redundant.

These days I have a radio deluxe (as you know) for the radio sounds and a Vox Wah built into a pedal for parked Wah sounds.

But I have a one channel amp and all my guitars only have bridge pickups, so :idk:

I always kinda felt like an EQ pedal is useful when you've got something to fix. imo with the right amp and peds, there shouldn't be anything to fix :idk:
There's tons of nice dirt peds out there these days that have plenty of tone shaping options (elements being indeed a great example), or in some cases even a parametric eq :idk:

Same. They seemed like a great solution when my guitar didn't have a tone knob, dirt pedals only had a high cut, and amp just had a single 'tone' knob. Now all of the above have more seasoning options.
I am still thinking about picking one up to make my peavey sound more like my other stuffs, but the peavey already has the most tone shaping options. Somewhere in my heart I know that the real answer is just replacing it. :lol:

PDF-1. It's loads of fun with dirt pedals, use it for all sorts of tone shaping. I don't see eq as being unnecessary with the right fuzz pedals, because it will always add new possibilities that don't exist in the pedal on its own.

How is PDF-1 on your clean tone? Lots of range?

This one has my attention.

I usually use an EQ pedal as a bass cut for a trebly kind of "radio" tone. The BOSS GE-7 is what I use now. Used to have an old DOD one throughout the 90's.

I have two Boss EQs on my looping board so i can manipulate the mix from one looper to the other, and a Rane parametric EQ in my rack that is tits.

this is what i do, as well. i've been using a Fish & Chips, but the switch is getting wonky, so i am on the look out for something else. i guess i could get a true bypass loop for it, or something, but that seems like a lot of hassle. :facepalm:
