    Man, when you took that wah lead, it made me want to punch a hole in the wall! Excellent.
    It would be an interesting test for digital pieces like this to do a loopback in your DAW to analyze how much latency it introduces, if it has a true bypass and it's noisefloor. For lower latency digital they usually go as low as possible on the bit rate and depth which lowers fidelity.
    I tested a tuner before that increased harmonic distortion even when in bypass mode.

  • @RobCmusic
    @RobCmusic 4 года назад

    I love the idea of one post and one pre EQ from one pedal simultaneously. That's exactly the kind of thing I would want from an EQ. I assume you can leave one of them always on while switching the other? I'd make good use of that if I could have the EQ in my fx loop for global tone correction to suit the stage with the option to still switch an EQ before my amp.

    I’ve heard the wah from the Source several times now, and I like the wah from the EQ2 better than any of the wah pedals I’ve heard. Just saying. …EQ pedals are the magic sauce…
    I play amplified harmonica, a EQ is the way to remove the “honk,” bring out the sweetness, and boost the signal. I use different mics that require different EQ, so this pedal looks like a step up for my board

  • @harleyhexxe9806
    @harleyhexxe9806 4 года назад +1

    That sounds like a very useful pedal! I can think of a variety of ways to use an EQ both on a pedal board or in an effects loop. It looks relatively easy to use out of the box, but I'll bet it is a bit time-consuming when you get into the MIDI programming and recall. Ah well, as my dad used to say, anything worth doing is worth over doing!
