Hi everyone!
I’m looking for a GOOD Bass EQ pedal in a micro format.
All I can find is just a few “cheaper” models like Mooer etc.
Is there a “better” brand that makes such a pedal? Or is the Mooer really that good?
I would like a Graphic EQ so I can use it on my URB when I double on both EB and URB.
I have found bigger pedals but I need to have it in the Micro size to fit my board:)

It's a single band Parametric EQ in mini format instead of Graphic EQ, but the EWS BMC 2 pedal is awesome.

The BMC 1 is similar but only Semi Parametric.

If you don't mind hooking up to a computer/phone to access settings, the Source Audio EQ 2 is insanely full featured and flexible for a slightly larger pedal.

I was going to suggest this is well, and I know of one that is likely going to be hitting the classifieds soon once I get my new preamp delivered later this week...

Awesome thing about going the EQ 2 route in this use case, is you could have separate EQ curves setup for your EB and URB on the "Left" and "Right" input channels, leave them both plugged in to their own separate stereo input, and then just switch back and forth between inputs with a preset change on the SA EQ2, and have it all routed out to one or both of the Stereo Outputs.

Did I mention it has a built in tuner (in case you need to free up board space for the larger pedal foot print) and all manner of EQ flavors available? High and Low Pass Filters, Graphic, Parametric, you name it.

Thank you for your replies!
That seems like a good solution. I have used the first version before and liked it. But now I already own a split box and a tuner so right now it might be overkill, but maybe in the future:)

As far as I see it quite on the contrary, you would be able to do it all with one pedal, and in the same instance get just about the ultimate equalizer pedal on the market.

Well for whatever reason, the OP is not keen on the SA EQ2, so what other suggestions can the collective give?


I'll say ... go custom.

Talk to SFX — High-quality builder in the UK, Max had numerous 1590A sized standard offerings at one point, and has turned out custom one-off/2-of-type project builds for many TBers.

Talk to COG — Another willing & able custom builder in the UK (must be something in the water over there, maybe PEAT?), Tom's been turning out HQ custom builds for TBers and pros alike such as Mike "Royal Blood" Kerr.



Both Max and Tom have solid reputations and of course the UK is closer to the OP than, say, Wounded Paw or a US-based builder.
