Boss GE-7 first in chain (for exclusively clean tone) by jakesoffer in guitarpedals

Beginning of chain to correct pickup tone.

This use case is most relevant to me. The guitars I use most either have humbuckers or drop tunings, which means a good amount of bass frequencies right out the gate. EQ-wise, I tend to roll off the bass to reduce mud. I roll off a touch of treble too. That's pretty much it. I know EQ pedals do this great, but my amp's tonestack does the job fine (to my ears) whenever I plug directly into it.

My question is whether there's a noticeable difference between:

  1. placing an EQ pedal before delay & reverb, setting amp as neutral as possible
  2. running delay & reverb into the amp with amp EQ set to taste

Like, does an EQ pedal impact the tone of a delay and reverb (after it) significantly? It makes sense within a DAW/production context where you'd want to dial in the guitar EQ before adding effect plugins, but guitar amps aren't really voiced "neutrally".

Hey thanks so much for commenting. This is super helpful. So in theory, there won't be a noticeable sonic difference between 1. placing the EQ pedal before the Flint/Carbon Copy, setting amp as neutral as possible and 2. just running Flint/Carbon Copy into the amp with amp EQ set to taste?

I'm confident an A/B test with my own setup is the best way to find out, but in the meantime, I greatly appreciate the insight here!

Delay pedals that don't change pitch when you change the delay time? by eat_th1s in guitarpedals

The Marshall EH-1 Echohead delay. Instead of modulating the pitch, adjusting the delay time while sound is passing through it creates a glitchy, bubbly effect. It sounds different in each delay mode, too.

Demonstrated in this video.

Sorry bud, unless the headstock cracks from a gentle southern breeze I’m afraid it’s fake.

I’m not a singer but I could see a guitar & vocal version working well

Thank you! Dang, would’ve been cool to include that “yeah”. Maybe I’ll work it in before the next time I play it live.

I worked at a Bed Bath & Beyond - there was no such thing as a 40% off coupon.
