Are any of you interested in a eq tutorial ?

Omega,
Guess you have noticed it too. When setting up close to walls small changes in the positioning of cabs can make a big difference. Also don't get your cab(s) too close to you,
All the eq in the world won't make up for a lack of space in ones playing though.

According to the Peavey Combo 300 instruction manual, their 'punch' control adds 8dB at 120Hz. Boosting at or near that center on other gear gives me similar results. This is one thing I learned very early on and it has stuck with me and been useful in every aspect of my playing from small rooms (ie my wife is out of the house what one knob do I turn to hear the sound I want) to larger (we are on a larger stage than we're used to and the drummer can't feel it enough for us to lock in).

So, one more answer to add to the pile. ;-)

It’s only been a day. I don’t think the op was expecting this to blow up to 8 pages. Jeez.

What's the difference between "tone" and "EQ"?

Very roughly: tone is timbre, EQ is correcting for unevenness in the audio characteristics of a space or a system, e.g. a room that booms or has a pronounced peak at Ab above middle C.

When I first saw the pic, I was too.

Tone is just one knob
Eq has at least two knobs

Drama Queen

I'm the drama queen? You're the one who came in here acting a fool for no reason in order to try to trigger a response. You came looking for drama. Before calling people names you may want to go look in the mirror.

After speaking backing to my Mom (once), she told me she didn't like my tone...

... I yelled back, 'EQ, Mom! EQ!'

It was the last and only time I heard her say, "My little boy is growing up so fast."

I asked a simple question not even a day ago. I offered to share what works for me and it turned into a fricken troll fest.
Not once have I come on here without giving genuine replies or asking genuine questions.
At every turn I have some know it all trying to call me out or telling me what I'm saying is impossible or I'm crazy.
Last time I posted the proof and they ALL went silent. Funny how that works.

Drop just let it go and start typing your thoughts and ideas on EQ ... don't worry about simplifying .... there are smart sounds guys on here that
can explain it to the rest of us.

SHOOT, GO, and Begin!

and thanks

@Drop1, I'm pulling out my best stuff... I don't think I can hold them off much longer...

... unless, you want the Christopher Walken impersonation...?

 

[MCDufour]

Interested!

Walken is awesome. Go for it.

I came here to do two things: read the tutorial and drink some beer.



Looks like we're all out of tutorial.

 

[Stevorebob]

I asked because I genuinely thought this post would go unnoticed like 99 percent of my other post and didnt want to waste the time if no one was going to bother with it.

Wow.

10 points for using "piqued" correctly instead of "peaked."

That's nerve wracking.
