Genzler re/Q eq

[agedhorse]

Can this be used as a preamp? Is there enough gain? I'm thinking of using it into the effects return on a fender rumble 210 to bypass the fender preamp and use the hpf to ease up the load on the speakers.

Maybe, but you can also use it as an insertable pedal on the Rumble, especially if you operate it between 12 and 18 volts.

The Re/Q mates very well with their overdrive pedals.

I’m not big fan more most fuzz a distortions drives offer bass. However the black soul food seems to get the kinda tone I’d like. Just for cutting more. Im thinking of getting the pre/q I have the genzler 800 megallan head with 15”x2 I think I’m selling one of the 15”s need a little more thump an less depth as Jeff put perfectly for my style of playing. I’m in a modern jam band so anything from RATM to Jamerson is in play. So I kinda am looking for the best of both worlds of the room shaking new age Hi fi depth with the old school like dirt cut sound

I have not, because I have a Source Audio EQ2, which can do everthing the Genzler does, and so much more. Have you looked into it?

I'm in the same boat - had the Genzler come out first, I probably would have bought one, maybe 2. But I have 2 pedalboards, each with a Source Audio EQ2 - It does high pass, low pass (my speaker emulation), and different eq's set up for different basses - all set up on presents. It's also my tuner. For all the things it does (and does in one footprint), it's a great pedal.

@agedhorse
Were there 2 versions of the reQ? Or is the difference only in the block diagram of the manual?
An older manual block diagram shows only a variable HPF, the current site shows a fixed HPF @ 25Hz and a variable HPF.

manuals for reference:

There was only one version, the second block diagram is correct. The first one was a preliminary manual and ended up with the incorrect graphic element.

Just bought the re/Q and now have all 3 Genzler pedals - 4 On the Floor Classic overdrive, re/Q and Magellan Pre.

The manual says 9-18VDC 40mA max for the re/Q and the 4 On the Floor, and 80mA for the Magellan Pre.

I use a 1 Spot CS7 and there are no power inputs that are any lower than 200mA, the 18 volt input does get closer at 100 mA.

Will the pedals not function to their maximum if the mA is too high on the 1 Spot, in fact, could it harm the pedals?

I know it's a basic question, but one I have no idea about.

The spec on the pedal is the maximum current draw, the spec on the power supply is the maximum current that can safely be sourced by the supply. . They will always draw less than this.

As long as the power source rating is greater than the power draw of the pedal (which it is in all cases) you will be fine.

Thank you, agedhorse, and thank you for 3 great pedals...

Hey TB'ers. Any thoughts on the high eq point on the RE/Q being 2.6khz?

I think you have to view it in the context of the amplifiers. You can tell the RE/Q was designed as a supplement to the Magellan, which has bass at 75hz and treble at 6k. So the Re/Q slots right in between. Viewed wholistically, it makes a lot of sense. And, of course, that applies to any amp you use it with.

If you're ampless, you could look at the LPF as your "treble" control. It's cut only and a different feel than a typical shelving control, though, so maybe that works for you or maybe it doesn't.
