If you change your name to "UglySyl", I'll change mine to "Skanky Chanky".

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

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
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

Been meaning to pick up one of those.

You lie like a muthafucka.

I use EQ as an effect unto itselfie.

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.

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.
