Guest MoJo Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Since buying my TB500H, I've found it's fairly ineffectual EQ less than inspiring. An experiment at lunch time today brought a huge smile to my face and transformed the Terror Bass. All I did was to put a Boss GEB-7 in the effects loop and instantly I had a lot more tonal control. Having tried it in front of the amp, I was sceptical but in the loop, it makes the TB much more versatile. Result Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Nice one Mark, I used to use a GE7 in the effects loop of my Marshall when playing guitar, gave a lot of scope to really nail the sound I wanted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigwan Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Must try this. Never had any complaints about the OTB EQ but this might be worth a go in some venues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeh Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 I have my gt10b in the front of my terror bass for any eqing, I've never struggled to get any tone I need, also have a custom jretro pre in my bass, so its tone city. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonesy64 Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Interesting stuff Mark...I have a Danelectro FishnChips lying around that I'll try out. Where are you setting the EQ on the TB? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I started with Gary's (grunge666) 'Bass at 9 o clock and Mids boosted slightly which sounds great for punk or grungy rock but I found it lacked the bottom end I was looking for. I swapped to Bass = Full, Mids = 9 'o' clock, Treble = 2 'o' clock. This was better but still missing the real low end I used to get when I played through a GK MB800 into the Schroeder. The EQ pedal fills in the low end nicely. The bass control on the TB seems to do very little compared to the mid control. Also, I've dialled the HF tweeter back in on the Schroeder and it sounds really good with the TB where it was way too 'glassy' with the MB Edited December 18, 2013 by MoJo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
