YES!! I was just messing with mine and, after a year, I'm still discovering new possibilities. I popped on here to say basically the exact thing you did!

Got my Fliptop today. VERY versatile EQ pedal. I feel it does a B-15 approximation as well as the SV-Pre does the SVT. An HPF before the Fliptop sure helps rein in the “pillow”. (or just turning the Bass knob below 12 o’clock) I prefer it to my Barber Linden and SansAmp VT-Bass. Thanks, Josh.

I think it's more about tonal flexibility rather than "tonal difference." The EQ section of the Noble is boost only with the frequency centers being, if I'm not mistaken, 80HZ and 4 kHz (with fairly broad bandwidth). It also has a HPF switch. As a dedicated tube D.I. (EQ & HPF off), I love it. I...

Excellent and detailed review! So nice to read the comparisons to other EQs/preamps that I don't own. Completely agree with your assessment of the combination of the Oracle & PC2A. Gonna experiment a little more with the settings you mentioned. Thanks.

The EQ on the Noble is boost only, not the boost/cut of the James tone stack incorporated on the Oracle. I'm only using the Noble as a tube DI, The Oracle as my EQ. Like I said, it's really more of a bass porn rig; Sounds amazing but extravagant and tube overkill. However, I did use the above...

Usually tuner>comp>EQ>DI, trying it with the tuner in the middle?

Point of diminishing returns really, especially live. But if your gonna porn, porn good...

I've never really been one to post bass porn. And it seems especially superfluous given that a microbe is currently sickening and killing thousands. That having been said, no, you actually CAN'T imagine how good it sounds! Thank you Micah, Jack, Josh, Mr./Ms. Effectrode, and you Danes. If...

My biggest lesson of late regarding frequencies; NEVER trust the frequencies marked on the EQ. I have the Empress ParaEQ which is, by far, the most versatile EQ pedal I've ever owned. It's an amazingly powerful tone-shaping unit, HOWEVER, with the help of a simple sine wave generator app for my...

Is it a Carlos Henriquez Special Edition or a regular Chorda? Thanks, BCA

+1 on the Radial PZ-Pre! Used it for the express purpose of doubling on a gig last night (as well as on many other gigs) and it works great. -BCA

April '09 ordered the bag at local Sam Ash for $59.99 ($20 cheaper than GK direct's $79.99), about a month later (mid May) checked with Sam Ash about order, was told GK had back-ordered the bag indefinitely, waited another month (June), called GK about progress, was informed bag was being...

If the "Radial Tonebone" is the PZ-Pre then yes, based on my experience, it does. -BCA

+1 for Radial PZ-Pre. Phenomenally versatile unit, great for doubling! -BCA
