    I know there is a pedal with tonal shaping abilities.. and you can plug an expression pedal into it making it function like a wah. BUT!! I need something simpler.

    I wish I could find an E-H made MULTI-BAND EQ powered by tubes that I could run through my FX loop in my amp. I use a tube amp now, but need more TONAL POWER! I’m a TONAHOLIC. I need more power out of an E-H eq pedal.

    Now, am I smoking crack, or is this pedal not in production? the GRAPHIC EQ has a DISTORTION fader. Is there one that is ALL THE SAME TONAL FEATURES—MINUS THE DISTORION?

    i appreciate the feedback. Thanks!

    That’s the pedal I was talking about in the first paragraph. It’s cool, but not enough control. The GRAPHIC FUZZ is better for me, BUT it has a DISTORTION GAIN…..I already use the distortion channel on my amp. I Just want EQ control. I like the E-H quality, but I dont like paying for extra feature that I don’t use.

    The GRAPHIC FUZZ is more like what I’m looking for, but it has that extra DISTORTION feature. Does E-H have “my pedal” in production?

    You can turn the fuzz off on the Graphic Fuzz, leaving only the EQ. It’s not tube but that’s life.

    well…we all know that tubes behave a certain way depending on how hot they get. If you have a HIGH OUTPUT PICKUP then the sound will change. If you PICK HARDER is effects the texture of your tone. If you LOWER YOUR VOLUME if also changes the texture of the sound.

    I’m not saying “TUBES ARE THE ONLY WAY TO GO,” but I think they CAN make a positive impact on the sound. But it’s cool, man. Maybe tube are NOT neccessary for and EQ system.
