Question 1

Will this pedal help remove the muddiness of a cheap distortion pedal?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it will remove the muddiness. Just notch out the midrange. This pedal does an EXCELLENT job with the traditional "smiley face" eq (boosted bass and treble). I removed the metal plate underneath it to lessen the weight, and  use it in my pedal board. I've tried other eq's and this one is one of the best, especially considering the price.

Question 2

will this work 4 and arch top since my fender ramparte dose not have a treble mid and bass control nobs?

Accepted Answer

Sure. Set the equalizer like a wave. That is, the bass end nearest to the "Out" input should be above the 0-marking, then create a wave-type response, but my experience on the high end is only raise it one notch above zero. Then, you should be fine. This eq is excellent for acoustics and electrics, and your arch top will sound very nice. Dial the Rampart about half way up and enjoy. Should sound great! James

Question 3

has anyone ever used this little device to boost up bass/treble for voice?

Accepted Answer

If the microphone that is being considered is the dynamic type, then it can be used in this experiment and it’ll boil down to the summed frequency boost & cut subjectively being what the individual is looking for. If the microphone being considered here is the Condenser type, it is best to pass as this kind requires a phantom power source that’s usually +48v and if the reader already knows how to make the condenser microphone work here, then it’s likely that the reader has a degree in electrical engineering and can just stop reading and proceed as they already know, or should know, what I’m going to explain, lol.

Now, there is one major caveat that the user will have to deal with before pursuing the experiment. Both the signal level from the microphone, aka mic, and the impedance (unless the microphone being used is high impedance to begin with...high impedance mics use a cable that has a 1/4” male plug on the end that plugs into the mixer or an amplifier of some sort-unfortunately most mics are low impedance) will have to match the usual and customary level and impedance of what is fed into the pedal, e.g., a guitar.  lol.

The impedance match is the most important of the considerations and a direct box (or simply DI box) converts a hi-z or high impedance signal to lo-z or low impedance signal. Most will function in the reverse if one needs to convert lo-z to hi-z. As far as matching the level of the signal, that kind of depends on the microphone. Also, the graphic eq pedal that’s the heart of this matter has the ability to globally boost or cut the signal level. Most likely that’s only applied as the signal is outgoing. The signal has to have adequate but not excessive gain (the level I mentioned earlier) and in most cases, a dynamic mic signal won’t have adequate gain, so the outgoing signal, while boosted by the pedal, will be on the noisy side because of the lack of what is called headroom. If one has access to the kind of headphone amp common to both pro and quality home studios, plug the mic first into the output of the DI, then plug a cable running from the DI’s input side into the input of the headphone amp and the last cable into the eq pedal. The output of the eq pedal cab now be run to the mixer. Look for either a mixer channel identified as Hi-Z or a channel with a switch (usually a push button toggle but can be a slide or rocker) and plug the out from the pedal to this mixer Hi-Z input. Now follow Good Sound System Operation Practices (including making sure all the eq sliders are parked at the zero before powering by up the system) and see what you can cook up.

Question 4

I have a digitech rp360 (multi effects pedal). would i run the guitar into this eq in front of the multieffect pedal or???

Accepted Answer

Try both. I would run it in front first and then try it after your RP360 with the settings you use. Let your ear tell you what you prefer. This pedal has more than one use so it's a hard question to answer correctly or incorrectly.
