Sea Blue EQ

Postby Beckanon » Sun Mar 11, 2007 11:12 am

I recorded these last summer. Both are samples of "boost" from the SBEQ. One of the clips depicts pedal off/then on.

Today I would do these clips differently, ala Donner, by just playing and twiddling knobs to display range of tones as opposed to one sound.

In anycase, its a wee start and by golly its a BJF pedal...so WATCH!!:

thanks abunch Beck, and if you want to do another set , have at it, I dig your playing - maybe show how a drive pedal is nicely reshaped by the ceiling and how it still sounds like itself ~ just more enjoyable.....

18 volts Is it safe?

Hi, Anyone who knows if it?s possible to run the Sea Blue EQ on 18 volt? Mine puts the amp into a little little bit of distortion as soon it?s engaged. This only happens when I use humbucker pick-up, singlecoils is no problems. I know that when you dubble the voltage you get a little more headroom, but I don?t know if the pedal will burn.

Hi

I don't know the answer to your question, but I did copy & paste it into the "Ask BJ" forum on this site. I know BJ checks that forum whenever he has time.

Cheers,

Iuse my SBEQ at 18V with very favorable results. I leave it on all the time. It does add a touch more headroom and a tad more transpanrency and sparkle. I also run my PPF and EGDM at 18V.

I just had a relevation tonight with the SBEQ. I had on the EGD and RRB. The stack (RRB>EGD>SBEQ>) osunded like I had the tone knob on 0 on the neck pup. I then turn down the bass and turned the treble up a bit and there it was. I clicked off to see how the cleans worked a little brighter, so I put the bass up a nudge. Then I clicked on the EGDM...and there was the Mike Campbell tone. It's amazing how much a subtle change with the SBEQ can produce big results. I have to play more with the settings on that. With out the SBEQ I find things to sound a little flatter, but now that I've heard the difference in knob settings.

I was kind of on the fence about the SBEQ, but after tonight, I think I need more time with it.

I have been playing around a lot latley and have been able to utalize my SBEQ/PGC with almost every guitar and amp combo i have encountered and they are both very consistant...I use the SBEQ after my drives and before my modulation, this has helped a great deal becuase i can voice my sound perfectly before it hits my phaser and delays...it is a tone tool without a match! my friends always make fun of me and my BJF love saying I have a Bjorn glazed tone :D

I think a Sea BLue EQ is going to be in the future as well. To have that tone shaping tool after the dirt boxes seems to be a great interface no matter what sorts of amps you may have to use.
