Hey guys, I've been planning out some new stuff with my rig and I was wondering if there are any serious issues with running a 'front of house' P.A. or studio rack unit with a guitar setup. One idea I had was to use a two channel rack eq, running one channel before the amp and one in the effects loop, thus bestowing supreme control over my sound before and after the preamp section. I was thinking about something like this: www.carvinguitars.com/products/single.php?product=EQ2015&cid=61...or if I go totally insane: www.carvinguitars.com/products/single.php?product=EQ2030&cid=61I figure I'll get more control and it'll cost less than buying, for example, two MXR eq's. Thoughts?

Sup?
What does your rig currently consist of?
I have always found Parametric EQ's to be way more beneficial in tailoring my sound then a graphic,,but it does have its place.

Like Dave said.....Parametric is better IMO. I used the Alesis MEQ230 for a few years and I found that I was always trying to tweak too much. As soon as I went to a para (some cheap POS no name thing that wasnt noisy) I basically scooped it and left it alone. I adjusted it to dif venues slightly (after my sound guy kept throwing shit at me to turn the level down). At the time I was running: ART SGX/LT, Yamaha Thirty112 (left chan) The POS para EQ Zoom 9000, Peavey Studio Pro 112 (right chan) Both amps mic'd. This was back in 90-92 or somewhere abouts and for the small joints we were playing TBH.... was overkill and too complicated for a drunk guitar player to deal with most times Im not trying to talk you out of it at all. Carvin makes good stuff for sure. I guess what I'm trying to say is "dont spend all of your time depending on a 2/3 oct eq for your tone. It does help but it'll leave ya with a migraine due to the "it always can sound better" syndrome I fell into.
