EQD Arrows Question

Post by PeteeBee »

Does the EQD Arrows work as possibly a boost and a cut, depending on how the knob is set? I thought I remembered seeing that but don't see it now. Or does another product do this? Some of my fuzz pedals don't sound how I like unless the volume is really pushed, but then it is hard to use them without huge volume differences. My stuff is already a lot louder than the guy I jam with the most, so keeping everything pretty similar volume really helps me not be rude while we struggle to keep similar volumes. I'd love to get those creamy, pushed hard tones but at friendly volumes for my friend... So maybe I can put a volume cut pedal after the fuzz?

:idk:

volume cut pedals exist there's ehx signal pad. http://www.musiciansfriend.com/accessor ... ects-pedal

It is a footswitchable volume knob you can put anywhere in the signal chain.

Yes, it can be used as a cut.

Thanks guys! I knew about the descend volume pedal too... Don't remember who makes it. I like the idea of the active version that can be a boost or cut just because I know I won't jam with this guy for the rest of my life and a boost is in general more useful to me than a cut. Anyone have other suggestions than the arrow or signal pad?

One of the guitar players in one of my projects really likes her Fuzz War, but it's way louder than everything everyone else uses. To reduce its volume a little bit, she runs it into a RAT, effectively using the RAT's volume as a master volume for her whole chain. (She has the RAT on most of the time and doesn't need to use the Fuzz War by itself for any songs.)

Would a volume pedal work for you? That way you'd have one for swells and that kinda stuff too.
