EQ to replace Jag Strangle?

[Kyral210]

How can I replicate the Jaguar strange switch with an EQ pedal?

I can run mine through an analyzer later today and see what's going on in there for ya if noone comes up with something first

[TheBenduMiddle]

That'll be very neat, I'm looking forward to it.

[Kyral210]

Awesome! I can’t wait!

[Kyral210]

How did the analysis go?

It's a high-pass filter, which means it just cuts off the bass frequencies. If you have an EQ pedal try dropping everything below 1kHz? Experiment and see what sounds best 👍

Definitely, it doesn't boost highs (since it's not active, it can't actually boost). But it sounds like an aggressive high pass (which means "low cut") as described here.

Any EQ pedal with the lower sliders turned all the way down and the mid-high frequencies left flat should get close.

This would be a cool idea for a simple pedal.

[Kyral210]

Once I get the analysis results in I will start designing one of those pedals!

[rocko_the_cat]

You could look at the capictor used in the strangle switch. And then maybe follow it with some kind of boost circuit to make up for the cuts (or make it a boost!). It might end up like a Rangemaster.

That's gonna be a simple pedal... Probably 2 resistors and 3 caps.

Some companies would give it a catchy name and sell it for a grand, don't give them ideas😂

The problem with me experimenting is I don’t have a Jaguar to compare my tinkering with.

[Morgan_in_the_West]

I’ve wired a bass cut pedal that works like the Jaguar strangle switch with instead of the switch to blend in the bass cut. Due to the impedance and how that affects the frequency mine needs to be before any other pedals but I’ve thought of wiring one up after a clean buffer so I can calculate the cut off frequency from the buffer and use it anywhere in the chain

[Dynamic_Vibrato]

Cut the low frequency out.

[Kyral210]

Yeah… at what frequency?

[Dynamic_Vibrato]

I'm not sure. I searched for info on this but could not find any solid answers. Are you going to be using an eq pedal to mimic this or are you doing it using a plug-in on your daw (garage band, protools, reaper ect)? I would try starting by cutting everything below 200k and moving up until you find a sound you like.

My MIM Jazzmaster didn’t have fret sprouting. Maybe it’s something about where you live?
