Got a teeny tiny parametric EQ in for that mini board.  Gonna have this on to do minor tweaking between guitars.  Scoop the mids, or clean the mud, or dial out the 2k-5k ice pick.  No idea how well it works yet, but I love its size.

How are you liking the EQ? I'm looking for something like that on my pedal steel board.

This little pedalboard plugged straight into a PA has no business sounding as good as it does.

Do you leave the Tonex on all of the time?

How are you liking the EQ? I'm looking for something like that on my pedal steel board.

So for question 1, I am using the tonex one in dual mode, with basically a green and red setting that I toggle between.  They are the same amp model (60s Vox AC30), but the green is clean and the red is sorta crunchy.  The vast majority of the time I'm on green and using combinations of the blues mood and ratsbane to drive it, but if I want higher gain than I can get from that, I go to the red and use both pedals to push it.

The little parametric eq works great for what I want.  It's super quiet, does not color the tone with everything set at unity, and gives you control over a single band from 50hz to 5Khz.  You can make that band as wide as you want, and boost or cut, and it's got an overall volume knob, too, so it could even be used as a boost pedal.  If you just want to cut a single problem area, or boost an area for certain passages (like hitting a TS for its mid hump in a solo), it's great.  If you want something to more comprehensively sculpt the signal, you'd want something like an Empress Para EQ MK II (which I also have and is great, but not for this little gigging board).
