A fully parametric EQ this good at this price in an analogue box like this is unbelievable. As a sound engineer, this is most definitely going on my effects. Pedals are SO good, and SO unique those days, they're slowly replacing all my rack gear, which is perfectly emulated anyway. This is rad!!!
Thanks for the refresher on how to use a Parametric EQ... extremely useful. Such a powerful tone tool! Gotta love GUP Tech pedals! It's crazy how annoying that sizzle is when you disengage the pedal. The worst part is I didn't really noticed it, until you removed those frequencies. Meaning, your tone when from good to great when you engaged the ptsd EQ... and from great to horrible/"I can't stand it!!!" when you disengaged the pedal! Kind of like when cycling through different IRs, the challenge is to "reset" your ears!
Exactly. It’s amazing what our ears will come to accept but then immediately change once we tweak something. I’ve gone down that IR maze many many times. I know exactly what you mean…
I just ordered this pedal a few days ago. I'm pleased to see it has a cool purple led. Also, thank you for the great demo including your philosophy regarding setting the pedal. This will be very useful when I receive mine.
Great demo! I just got the EQ From Hell parametric EQ from Master Effects and have been puzzling over how to use it to maximum effect. This solves the riddle.
i liked it after you tweaked the bass frequency only. 7:02 Also you do not play it enough between, while you are tweaking, sort of prejudicely moving the knob.
J'utilise également un eq paramétrique dans ma boucle d'effet, un clone du Boss PQ-4 que l'on ne trouve plus, et pareil, je ne peux plus m'en passer. Cool vidéo!
Isn’t that the Vej5 clone of Diezel VH4 pedal? I Love the Vej series! They are Revv G2 thru G4 and the 5 is the Diezel. They even make an all in one pedal! Thank You for this informational video! Great stuff!
I bought a Rane PE 17 parametric eq last night & need to dive into it today. (Shady) Guy accepted a LOW BALL offer and through in a Rane ME17B graphic eq also since I sourced my own PE17 (not cheap) power supply. Need to run it through ReEq so I can see what's all going on w the signal and that its working properly. Ran it after my mesa quad preamp and into mesa 5050 power amp but will try it out in the fx loop like i usually run my eq.
I've seen it on Reverb, it sounds good but to be honest it didn't convince me to purchase. The competition is huge MXR and the Boss EQ offer quality and are about the same price. Thanks for sharing it, 's a great demonstration and not a bad product
while a para eq is amazing to have in the loop for shaping the tone, the first thing you should do to fix the tone is turn the tube amp up loud enough until the highs lose the fizz and become appealing. Use an attenuator to get there if you have to. You can thank me later
Awesome review! This is a very overrated EQ I was thinking of getting the PdeQ but heck I might as well throw in a couple more $ for the pPTSD - Parametric EQ, I'm definitely going to pick up the VeJ1 and the Mad Chiou also😁 awesome review! Awesome demo man. Keep rocking 🤟😎🎸
I wonder if that tone would pair better with a rail style pickup in the bridge. From the way it sounded when you adjusted the frequencies, it definitely sounds like if you were to use a bridge pickup in a rail configuration i’d assume it would give you a more “boosted” sounding guitar tone. Not that it actually matters what pickups would use, just figured it was an interesting observation lol
Hey thanks for watching, glad you dig it. I think the 10 band is a great option too, lots of players do it. Eq is eq...just a different way to hone in and control it. I don't know if I can say one is better or worse than the other, just different strokes for different folks. I've met a lot of players who prefer graphic eqs like the MXR pedals because it's a bit more visual to understand, while others shy away from parametric b/c they don't understand it. I like both, but once you understand a parametric they are pretty neat. Total matter of preference.
I haven’t noticed how annoying those frequencies were until you filtered them out. Unbelievable. It looks easy to find those nasty frequencies but I’m sure it’s not that easy. Nice video.
I dream of the day in which a manufacturer releases a Parametric EQ Pedal that offers the 4 cable method so that users can manipulate their tones in both pre-gain and post-gain stages simultaneously. The Boss EQ-200 offers that feature but its a Graphic EQ and not a Parametric EQ. Anyone out there in the industry listening?
Useing this before a daw to save ram shite is a no brainer. Set it n forget it. You could put it in a effects send/return of a mixer if you use that long haird loud mouthed Canadian Fricker dual mic into a behringer thang. P.s fuck you Glen. Cheers for this I'm deffinately getting one. Endless possibilites for many instruments hopefully. Is it just set for guitar or what lad?
It’s designed for guitars but I’m sure you could use it on loads of other instruments if you were so inclined. It’s a phenomenal pedal. I’m glad they put it into a production model. This one I demoed is the prototype.

Damn that pedal really made a huge difference. Went from already pretty heavy to super thicc and defined. Lots of definition and clarity. Love it.
For real. I love the 5150 III but I don’t think I can go back to playing it without this pedal in the loop.
@@ScottBynoe Why in the loop and not in front of the amp?
You can put it in front or in the loop. It’s a matter of preference. Most people put an eq in the loop though to tone shape after the preamp.
Thanks for the refresher on how to use a Parametric EQ... extremely useful.

Dude, killer vid. Great job demonstrating how powerful an eq pedal can be and also being straight forward and easy to understand!
Cheers. Thanks for watching!

Awesome, enjoy the pedal!
That rant at 10:45 is brutal🔥 I’m waiting on mine
Great demo! I just got the EQ From Hell parametric EQ from Master Effects and have been puzzling over how to use it to maximum effect. This solves the riddle.
Good to hear man! Glad this video helped.
great video and explanation for parametric EQ! I will likely move from graphic eq's to parametric now for my FX loop
Awesome. Thanks for watching!
Wow!
Nice and simple demo- thank you
Cheers
I just got one of these pedals and looking forward to messing with it on my setup
Enjoy!
Un produit fière d'être québécois !!❤❤

Nicely done!
Thanks!

Nice, those PQ4s are cool pedals, hard to find these days for a decent price!
@@ScottBynoe oui ! c'est pour cela que j'ai construit le clone

It would be really nice if the pedal has a high pass/low pass function. It can really help to have the guitar stand out from the mix.

Graphic eqs like those in Boss and Mxr pedals differ from parametric eqs
Wow that sizzle in the amp became hugely apparent..

Scott Edition of the PARAeq? Prof Pinotte with a beard and blue cap? ;)
Lol
Haha love it!

Nice video. Thank you.
Cheers!
head sounds good, I think you may have cut a little bit of character out of the tone - like the video for explaining what it was doing!
sounds awesome. do you think this is a better option than an MXR 10 band EQ in the loop? thanks for the video

u are true bro 💯

It’s amazing what our ears don’t hear until it’s taken out or added in. This pedal is pretty phenomenal.
🔥🔥🔥🤘

Source audio EQ2
It’s graphic and parametric. Q adjustable, and has duel in and out.
Does this pedal color anyone's tone?
sounded like it to me. like a blanket was placed over the cabinet. maybe it can be tweaked better to eleimante that
Ya maybe you can make your own video and show everyone how it’s done.
it sounds way better after EQ still a bit hiss present
you boosted 330 hz, but the x-axis on the graph showed you boosted 100.
This is a pedal. The graphic on the screen is just a guide/illustration to give an idea of what is generally going on. They aren’t linked my friend.
@@ScottBynoe Attention to detail
Congrats
Useing this before a daw to save ram shite is a no brainer. Set it n forget it. You could put it in a effects send/return of a mixer if you use that long haird loud mouthed Canadian Fricker dual mic into a behringer thang. P.s fuck you Glen. Cheers for this I'm deffinately getting one. Endless possibilites for many instruments hopefully. Is it just set for guitar or what lad?

Nope! No bueno! The amp was nice though.
