    Source Audio has left all other pedal manufacturers in the dust. I bought the Spectrum Intelligent Filter and it stopped my envelope filter hoarding completely. I used to have to demo every filter pedal that hit the market. Dont even bother now. The Spectrum has it all. More features than I have time to use. Worth every penny if you only use the factory presets but so much more to the One Series pedals with the Neuro Editor. Now I must buy this eq pedal and toss the old Boss in the bin.

    a few points about the pedal:
    First it should be said that i really like this pedal and pointing these out because of that.
    Second, the pedal is somewhat noisy. No matter how i cut it when boosting it adds a fair bit of noise to the channel. i play bass so if im going for a clean sound it makes it difficult.. you can do it but it means losing a bit of gain.
    Thirdly. the tuner, with bass, is spotty. It seems to have a problem catching the low frequencies. i play a extended range bass, 5 string, and trying to tune the B string is nearly impossible. i usually just get the E string and grab the octave.
    There are a few more things but i have to get going to work. Good pedal, just has some paticulars about it.

    Great video. Thanks for producing this amazing pedal. I’ve started experimenting with midi presets and I’m wondering if you can help me work out how to use the inbuilt foot switch to toggle between presets with a short press rather than eq settings on and off - I’d like to access the tuner easily as well.
    Just to be clear, I have a multi-fx pedal that sends program change signals to the eq2. That’s working great. I’d also like the opportunity to select a different eq preset to boost specific frequencies from time to time by pressing the inbuilt switch. I hope that’s clear enough. Is this possible without incorporating an external foot switch?

    @Henry-fv3bc 2 года назад +1

    How does the noise gate work in split mode? Is it applied to each channel separately?
    It would be useful to have a mode that has the gate on the output of one channel only while using the input on the other channel to trigger the gate. E.g., consider if you route the signal into CH1, then through some gain pedals (which can have their own intrinsic noise), then into CH2. It would be nice to have the output of CH2 gated using the input of CH1, so that you don't have to worry about intrinsic noise from the gain pedals "in the loop".

    Hey! Great tutorial, but how can I have my drive pedals in the FX loop and have the EQ2 be on channel 1 or 2 on bypass mode or vise versa? Is this not possible or do I need the external switch for this?
    My guitar goes into input 1 on the EQ2, then output 2 goes into the drive pedal. From there the drive pedals output goes into the EQ2's input 2, then from output 1 to the amp.
    My I/O routing is set to external loop 2>1 and I have the split function on for channel 1 and 2, but I cant seem to use the channels individually? It seems that both channels are linked so I basically can't adjust 2 totally different EQ settings I've also tried to mix the channels with PEQ settings on both channels or GEQ on both.

    • @sourceaudioeffects
      @sourceaudioeffects  4 года назад

      The FX Loop setting basically puts the two EQ engines in series and sets the external pedal(s) between them. So unless you want EQ adjustments on both sides of the loop, you'll want to set one of the EQs totally flat. You can then use the external switch to move the EQ settings either before or after the loop.

  • @timwhite5562
    @timwhite5562 4 года назад

    At this point wanting anything more than what's already on this model is probably getting a bit greedy, but I wonder if an EQ2+ with a clip feature would be cool. Obviously 95% of players will be using this with some type of gain pedal. While watching this video I was just reminded of the old Pigtronix "Philosophers Tone" optical compressor. I had gone into a guitar shop specifically to pick up a univibe, and saw the Philosophers Tone near it. I had read a review a week or so earlier, and I developed an odd fetish for compression pedals years before after trying an old Dyna Comp with my Strat into a clean Blackface, and that percussive "click" that came from the pick attack with the single coils just grabbed me. I took a cheap Squire Tele off the wall and plugged it with the comp into a Blue Jr. I remember hitting an open "A" and let it ring out to set the setting on the amp. By the time I was ready to start dial ending in the amplifier, the cord had been sustaining for about three times longer than any chord should have.
    The idea of a dirt like that; more like a light Muff than a typical distortion worked really well as an add on to a compressor that would work well with an EQ.
    Some time after, I got a Tech 21 pedal, I can't remember the name, it was a mix of "compression" and "distortion", like "DISTORssion" or "COMPortion." I'm sure someone knows. It was the same idea; optical compressor with a flat-Eq grit. I sold it or traded it a couple years later, by that point I just thought of it as an "Eric Johnson in a box." I found it ironic how he uses all these vintage amps, pedals and guitars, while this relatively inexpensive pedal nailed that violin tone. I'm digressing.
    Anyway, these EQs are awesome. I've been using the original prog EQ for a while and when it comes to getting the sound from various rigs, THAT thing is like a force-multiplier. Having 2 separate EQs that can be used at the same time, Graphic AND Parametric is just insane. When I think of all the OD, Fuzz, boosts, pickups and everything else that will be bought by just one player, but the fact they have ZERO Equalizer on their boards, it's amazing.

  • @-Christoph
    @-Christoph 4 года назад

    A few questions about the gate:
    Is there a dedicated midi-command to turn it off/on or would I have to copy the preset, turn it off in the second present and swap between these presets in order to turn it on or off?
    Is there a way to control Attack and Release? Because in many cases these "one dial gates" are either too soft or too hard, depending on the application (Solos, Djent and so on).
    Is the "gate source" something like signal trigger, meaning that it can gate i.e. channel 1 while it listens to channel 2?
    thanks

    • @sourceaudioeffects
      @sourceaudioeffects  4 года назад +1

      1. Yes, you can assign any MIDI CC value to engage/disengage the gate with the Neuro Desktop Editor. Just go to Device > Edit Device MIDI Map. 2. Sorry there is only a Threshold control. 3. Yes, you choose between channel 1 and channel 2 as the gate source.

    Very, very packed with features: it has 3 fundamentals things my Boss eq200 is missing which would be useful for me: the ability to back up presets to a pc, an indicator of the output level for each preset (well just a light but better than nothing) and a noise gate which would save me space in the pedalboard.
    - Question: is it possible to remap incoming program change messages to the midi thru output? For instance, I receive #PC 16 and I make it so that #PC 7 comes out of the midi thru?
    Than would be a real bingo, I'd make the switch today!

And while on stage if you really gonna mess with this during a live show you don't really need to see the values - understanding the form of the wave should give you enough visual indication though I will only change eq with my ears... left is bass right is treble and all the rest is in between 😊

    The problem is that the crunch channel is much louder than the clean channel.
    Could the EQ2 Equalizer help me solve this ? Would it be possible to have a preset on the EQ2 that would turn the volume down a little when I use my crunch channel ?
    Thanks !

    • @sourceaudioeffects
      @sourceaudioeffects  4 года назад

      Yes, you can absolutely do that. We talk a bit about the individual gain controls at 13:00 in the video. You can boost or cut the gain of Channel 1 and Channel 2 individually. At that point you can also use the OUTPUT knob on the pedal to boost or cut both channels equally, but they will still maintain the GAIN differences in relation to each other. You can adjust the GAIN of each Channel either in the pedal's Edit Menu or in the Neuro Editor.
      And yes, it is also possible with the Neuro Editor to individually adjust the Input Trim for both Inputs. All of these adjustments are per preset - not global.

    • @sourceaudioeffects
      @sourceaudioeffects  4 года назад +1

      That is an excellent question. We usually use the EQ2 either at the very beginning or the very end of the signal chain. Putting the pedal at the front of the chain can be useful if you're switching guitars a lot, it can be nice to use the EQ2 to compensate for volume changes between different guitars. You can also use it to accentuate certain characteristics of different guitars (obviously you don't want to try and match the tones of different guitars, because what would be the point of switching at all?). It's also can be useful to put an EQ in front of a drive pedal because pushing more or less volume or particular frequencies into a drive pedal can really affect the way the drive breaks up. There is also a great argument for putting the EQ2 at the end of your signal chain - this makes sense to a lot of people. It is nice to be able to manipulate the final equalization of your entire signal - maybe boost some highs or lows, or just give yourself a little volume kick whenever it's necessary. So just figure out what you want from the pedal and do some experimenting. Thanks for considering the EQ2. :-)

      Yes, yes, and yes. We've seen musicians put the EQ2 in many different spots in their signal chains. It can be useful in the front of a chain if you're changing guitars and want to maintain a consistent signal level going into your drive pedals, or if you want to be able to boost the level going into your drive for a bit more break up. It's also useful at the end of a chain if you just want to be able to make some tweaks to the overall brightness or darkness of your tone.

      The short answer is yes. There are a few things you can do - if you set the routing to Stereo In/Mono Out the EQ2 will take the signals from Input 1 and Input 2, run each through its own EQ engine, and mix them both to Output 1 (mono). You can also use the Loop setting, but that requires special cable routing - signal into Input 1 > through Channel 1 EQ > out of Output 2 > though whatever pedals are in the loop > back into Input 2 > through the Channel 2 EQ > out of Output 1. If you're using the Loop Routing, you can still make individual adjustments to both EQ engines. Not sure which of those options works best for you, but both are viable. You can also set the pedal to Stereo In/Stereo Out and route your cables Input 1 > Output 1 > Input 2 > Output 2 > next pedal in the chain - that is a way to run the EQ engines in series.

      sourceaudioeffects that’s awesome!! I think the stereo in, mono out wil be my option of choice. Might even go stereo stereo and mix later. I’m guessing a mono to stereo option isn’t possible? That way I can split signal, use my highpass into delay and verb and mix it in with my low pass using a Boss LS-2

    Great video! Quick question: is there a way EQ2 can pass through a MIDI command from an external controller onto another SA pedal via the Control Port? I know I am trying to be smart and avoid buying the Neuro Hub, but hey - I gotta try :) The idea is I have the EQ2 and the Lunar, but I don't have the Neuro Hub, and I wonder if I can somehow control the Lunar from an external MIDI controller, other than via USB Midi (which is doable, but a little more difficult, as it needs an additiona USB Host module.)

      You can run the source audio pedals in series via the second input and pass messages thru one pedal to the next from one midi controller. You also can run it using the midi thru function and run it from usb or midi out to the controller of the next pedal.

    So this is amazing. A few scenarios this has got me thinking about.
    If the signal path is something like gtr > eq loop > drives > back into eq > stereo fx.
    Scenario 1 can I use the 1st eq channel as a Wah emulation and the 2nd as a flat / Clean Boost?
    Scenario 2 - if I understood correctly, the expression can be a Wah on some presets and volume on others. Is that correct?
    Lastly, did I understand that I can use midi to control presets and also still have expression in.
    If yes to all these, I am ordering immediately. I'll probably order anyway because this solves so many things on my rig.

    I have a couple of questions: 1. Does the tuner mute the signal when engaged like most tuner pedals do? 2. Is it possible to plug in 2 instruments into the inputs (i.e. a fretted and a fretless bass), and have the stereo splitting functionality usable for each? Only one instrument gets used at a time. It would be nice to be able to eliminate the A/B switches that I currently use.

    6:31 I guess you wanted to say for each mono output not each stereo out...., as stereo is L and R together (1 and 2), and what you want is a Different EQ for each Mono out , that means, Left and Right independently . This is basically a Dual Mono EQ 1 and 2

Too long of a story to explain why, but using this thing in the loop of my non-GEQ Mesa Mark IIC+ is the most important use I would have for this pedal. It is too bad it can't do battery power though. Adding that and wireless control from the phone app would create a new stratosphere of next level, even though this thing is already next level.

      My monogamous marriage to Mark amps has come into conflict after discovering Wizard amps. The IIC+ does everything I want in a way that I love, but I have to use a drive in front and a 10 band EQ in the loop to get it to my sweet spot. The Wizard MTL MKII that I just picked up gets me to the same end result with no external pedals or extra EQs, more straight forward dialing in, a bit less compression, and even more punch. Am liking the MTL over the Modern Classic, which was my gateway into Wizards. Am going to shed a tear when I have to let my Mark go before the EOY, but the Wizards are so damn expensive I can't keep them both.
