mjblooze Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 How do i use mid focus eq..? When i turn it on, everything is set to 50% (flat i assume?)...but even that drastically colours the sound..? What is the mid focus for & what can i do with it..? Many thanks for any advice..

duncann Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 The mid-focus starts at around 6:55. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wLkVhOp5FCY 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjblooze Posted January 20, 2016 Author Share Posted January 20, 2016 Cool...thank you for that, it does clear some things up. So it is possible to set it flat & then work from there, is that correct..? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjblooze Posted January 20, 2016 Author Share Posted January 20, 2016 Thanks guys. I replied too quickly before. The info you've provided is very helpful. Much appreciated..! Cheers Mick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arislaf Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Best way I use it, is after the amp, set low pass at 21% with Q at 21 to 18% and HP from 90% up to 82% (sometimes so low) and Q at 0% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pianoguyy Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 PianoGuyY's solution for making sound --- If you don't like what you hear, change it. Just because it says Marshall doesn't mean you will like what it sounds like. Equalizers in percentages instead of hz mean nothing. Ears are the keys to the world. Eyes are nothing. Make your sound with what you hear, not with what you see. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pfsmith0 Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 I had the exact same question! So I measured it, along with all the other EQs. See if this thread helps explain it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CipherHost Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Ears are the keys to the world. Eyes are nothing. Make your sound with what you hear, not with what you see. The last Y in PianoGuyY actually stands for Yoda. There is no try eye, only do hear. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pianoguyy Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 There is no try eye, only do hear. Of course, in one breath I say to use the ears, but I don't think that it is a secret - I am all about ''the show'' which requires the eyes. Playing a diminished 4th over an augmented 7th of the Patagonian scale while using a subatomic minor bass in the route to the 66 means absolutely nothing if you look like my next door neighbor and stand there like a tree. I'll take KISS and Lady Gaga any day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I LOVE that lick and use that lick all the time. Now I know why everyone leaves when I do that. :huh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll take KISS and Lady Gaga any day. Funny you mentioned KISS, i played in a KISS tribute show for 13 years & all i know is the minor pentatonic. ..if i was still in the band, i wouldn't even consider using something like a POD HD500X on stage- tap dancing in platform boots could lead to broken limbs..!

pianoguyy Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 But if you were playing in that band, you wouldn't need to tap dance. You need one sound. Turn on the Pod and forget about it. Even the clean sounds of KISS can be done by using that same one sound but turn the volume on your guitar down. --- with the exception of their kisco song, do do do dodo dodo do do, do do do dodo dodo. Then you'd need a flanger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Akeron Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Playing a diminished 4th over an augmented 7th of the Patagonian scale while using a subatomic minor bass in the route to the 66 means absolutely nothing if you look like my next door neighbor and stand there like a tree. I'll take KISS and Lady Gaga any day. I understand (to a point) the fascination with the looks, but if the sound sucks, personally I couldn't care less about that. Maybe it's me, or it's because I like good sounding next door neighbor trees... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexKenivel Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 I don't really like the mid Focus EQ. It alters the tone waaay too much, rather than just chopping off the high and low bits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexKenivel Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Okay, I remember having this conversation in another thread. Idk what was happening before, but I've got it to be transparent now. So please disregard my past hate on the MFEQ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you'd need a flanger. Yeah mostly had one sound but used an old Korg pedalboard for FX in the smoking guitar solo. The poor pedalboard copped a beating- fake blood, kerosene, burning embers from pyro's, spilled bourbon & beer... even accidently slammed with a smashing guitar. Wouldn't put the POD through that..!
