Right? I think the main issue is that we guitarists know a lot about tone, but not so much about how to get the tone we want. EQ pedals can look daunting, and if you don't know what you are doing, there are many ways to mess up your core tone.
That’s true an EQ pedal can make a big difference. I live by them like so many other pros. However some boost pedals can act like an EQ and give certain needed higher frequencies
I've watched several videos like these but none of these really convinced me of buying an eq pedal because I like my Strat tone... But I never considered the attenuation concept because I really hate to roll back the volume on my guitar because of the loss of dynamics, and volume pedals are pretty much the same. Tip #9 got my attention too... But you definitely got me when you paired ithe eq with the Big Muff! It sounds so freaking cool! Now I have to find the righ one that fits in my pedalboard!
Jonathan the Vox sounded HUGE with the bass-cut/clean boost! Thank you for a great demonstration of the infinite possibilities a good EQ pedal brings! I have a Boss GE-7 with swapped op-amps for noise which I use up front. I have an old Rane ME30B in the FX loop as a set-and-forget addition to the tone stack. Most EQ pedals sit well in the loop too. Great job! 🎸🎸🎸
Thanks for this vidéo. I recently bought this joyo. Playing lead guitar i wonder if you would adviser to start the eq only for solos to get off the mix or all the time?
@@TheToneLounge dude you need to review the Joyo green legend (tube screamer) and compare it with Ibanez TS and other brands.. it will blow your mind. It's on my pedal board too. Joyo Aquarius delay too.. they do some amazing stuff man.
Cutting the 4k frequency does wonders with modelers and some preamp pedals. How much depends on the amp modeled and the modeling device or software itself. It removes a good amount of rather unpleasant fizz.
Due to the low price, I would buy it anyway and I actually did. That said, you can easily get great sounds with the smaller cheaper version too. Your mileage may vary
@@TheToneLounge yeah I'll sell the ge7 and get one. I was wondering if there's a point having those high frequencies on the pedal when guitar frenq stay within a limited spectrum. 6k or 8k?
Hi...I'm looking for this Joyo 10 Band EQ so bad im in south Africa where can i get it , i heard its capabilities from this other guy and he claims i wont get it anywhere and he was even covering the bland name with a black tape
@@TheToneLounge sorry I should have explained better. I heard that some eq pedals can be a bit grainy like the MXR 10 band. do you know if this is same with the Joyo?
Thanks for this! As a pedal newbie I see zero reasons why not to add this one. Might not do all the sexy stuff but it's super versatile. Plus, i think it can partially potentially compensate for some crappy amp one might have to use in a live setting. I think I'll get one pretty soon and try to familiarize myself with it quickly. Should be fun
Winner tip is #7 for me. I still don't understand how that happened. Next one is #5 because i never thought i could use an eq that way. But a very well thought out video and very usefull. Do you think a 10 band eq gives you more accuracy than a say 5 band eq ie is more versatile or a simpler eq would get the job done too? Too many parameters is not always an advantage for me....
@@Atilio8MC I'm sorry i'm not well versed into this but if i grasped this correctly you mean that a parametric eq is used for adjusting certain frequencies whereas graphic eq is a more drastic pedal allowing to cut out a certain frequency altogether but you cannot achieve the fine adjustments of a parametric eq.
It depends what you need. Companies target a certain frequency range when it comes to EQ, ones that they think are the most useful/pleasing. 10 band EQs are very versatile and can obviously achieve more tones. That being said, a BOSS GE-7 works flawlessly too.
@@TheToneLounge It is a bit odd that after all these years never happened to own or even use one. Never crossed my mind as an important piece of equipment, but now i see is capable of giving lots of different sounds and sometimes very convincingly too
Hi, great video! Is this eq pedal noisy when you push the band pots all the way up/down? I cant decide between joyo ten band and mxr ten band. Thank you!
Any EQ pushed will bring up whatever noise it picks up. This being said, if EQ is not going to play an integral part of your rig then this is a good choice. If it is pretty important, I would go with the MXR. Cheers
Last tip #10 sold me on it. Completely transformed a dark muddy fuzz into an awesome saturated distortion. Both are nice sounds. Would you say there are noise issues with this or that the EQ sliders are not sensitive and need large adjustments to make a difference in sound? Thanks for the great demo and awesome playing 🤘
@@TheToneLounge I'm surprised an EQ pedal of this quality is offered for this price. I prefer this over more expensive ones actually. Thanks for the response!
Buyong an EQ pedal can feel like buying a Tuner - NO FUN, but ultilitarian. An obligation, of sorts that you keep pushing aside for more fun pedals . I finally made it a firm priority, paid more than I wanted to, etc. The thing is, they are FUN. Looking for interesting tones - Tons of em'. Heck, you can even make your electric sound more like an acoustic, combine with pedals to make them sound like that next "must have", or next "curiosity. I found my EQ to be that "ALWAYS ON" pedal w/ minor adjustments that dramatically improve your amps tone. Ypu should look at the chanel strip on your amp as sacred. Dialed in and left alone. Add an EQ and trim your tone to taste, to make that guitar and amp sing . Minor tweaks yield dramatic changes that improve your tone w.out taking away the elements you find desireable. That's how I use mine and it's become a pedal I don't want tiurned off. As you csan see from the vid. There's far more thar can be done w/ one of these beyond the "ALWAYS ON" route. I love Treble Booster's, just as much and the EQ example sounds REALLY GREAT as a "faux"! Take notes on these settings, and mess with them to your taste. Plenty of surprises to be found, and a whole lot fun of to be had finding them too. Enjoy the journey, and keep on playing guys!
I think that an EQ, compressor and tuner seem like boring purchase, but they are so essential in many ways. Were I to play Live again, I would definitely have all three on my board.
terribly underrated part of any pedalboard! you can do sooooo much with a good eq pedal
Right? I think the main issue is that we guitarists know a lot about tone, but not so much about how to get the tone we want. EQ pedals can look daunting, and if you don't know what you are doing, there are many ways to mess up your core tone.
But what difference between good and bad equalizer pedal?
That’s true an EQ pedal can make a big difference. I live by them like so many other pros. However some boost pedals can act like an EQ and give certain needed higher frequencies
That beef up strato sound sounded awesome. That clean boos and the unMuffed Muff sounded great too. Nice one
Glad you enjoyed it.
Excellent tips !
Glad it was helpful!
I was looking into this pedal right now because my single channel 15 watts guitar amp's eq just isn't cutting it. Thanks for your demo.
Glad I could help!
Great sounds and playing
Thank you. Have you tried any of these tips?
Brilliant examples and know how
Thank you

The GE-7 from BOSS is a popular choice. MXR has some great ones too.
Great video friend!🤘🍻

I have long used a Boss GE-7, but I've been curious about a 10 band eq... But I think what I want more is an eq that I can set presets.
You should like at Source Audio, their EQ is exactly what you are describing.
@@TheToneLounge that’s the one I e been considering for awhile
@@mantashaft look into the boss eq-200. much easier to interface with and has more features for same cost.
Loved this video. Thank You.
thank you Man ı learned so many things from you
Glad to hear that!
Great demo!.where did you place the eq pedal in chain in the demo?
Great video!🎉
Thanks for this vidéo. I recently bought this joyo.
Playing lead guitar i wonder if you would adviser to start the eq only for solos to get off the mix or all the time?
I own a boogie JP2C which has two 5 band graphic eq’s yet I have this JOYO 10 band eq on my pedal board thought the fx loop.
I'm envious of that amp!

Thanks for sharing this helpful advice! It's amazing how small tweaks can have a big impact on sound quality.
Curious about getting this pedal would you recommend it? Great video by the way❤
@@minipig780 Yes, I think that it's well worth it.

Are you considering getting this one?
@@TheToneLounge yeah I'll sell the ge7 and get one.

@@melexdy you'll definitely hear the highs when boosted

I'm not too aware of your purchasing options in your part of the world, but here are three ootions:
- Amazon
- Thomann
- Joyo's website
How does this pedal sound on acoustic?
The EQ does not colour the tone, so it works with acoustic very well.
@@TheToneLounge sorry I should have explained better. I heard that some eq pedals can be a bit grainy like the MXR 10 band. do you know if this is same with the Joyo?
@oliverfua4953 This I can not say for sure. If you use it as a subtractive EQ, then it should not be grainy.
great demo, thanks :-)
Thanks for watching!
@@TheToneLounge Is it noisey a bit ? Thanks
Is this pedal noisy? ...if compared to Boss GE-7?
About the same, perhaos even a bit less.
@@TheToneLounge Thanks 'mate

A good EQ is a sound investment. People who say that EQs are boring, just haven't spent enough time messing with one.

I have not tried yet. If I can get my hands on one, I’ll do that video.
Are you overall happy with this particular pedal? Any humming noise on Hi freqs?
Yeah, I can't fault this pedal. The frequencies chosen for this EQ are great and it is no more noisier than higher name brands.
@@TheToneLoungeand how about responses and q values? Does it really push up or down to 12db as advertised?
@@captain6198 I can't say for sure, but It does appear to do so. The boost and cut are very drastic.
@@TheToneLounge cheers, thanks for the quick feedback!
@@captain6198 My pleasure. Let me know if you get this one, I'd love to hear your thoughts.
brilliant, joyo pedal is well priced
