This is the eighth pedal in my chain starting with a tuning pedal. The good news is that as I’ve gotten more accustomed to the Super Ego so that I can just play like me without having to boost the gain of my eq pedal as much, if at all. There really is a significant learning curve/ adjustment phase when you start using the Super Ego….much more than many other pedals. It’s definitely about learning a “feel” with one, maybe even more so than “dialing in the right settings.”
crazymilo12ParticipantI set my EQ the way that I want my sound to be and then boost the master gain. The point of boosting BEFORE the Superego is so the pedal can “hear” it. I use a humbucker in parallel much of the time as well as being a legato player, so the pedal had a difficult time picking up my signal. There is no need to put the EQ after the Superego, since my amp never has a problem picking what I play, unless I play poorly.
I was told by EHX that there were problems when the Superego’s internal sensitivity was increased. So I don’t know if modding it would be a good idea, though pretty much any pedal can be modded as long as you find the right person/are the right person and have no issue with voiding the warranty.
crazymilo12ParticipantI have since found a way to get great sounds AND get the Superego to hear all of them regardless of whether I use my guitar inn series, parallel, in phase or out of phase, or in split coil. I now put an MXR 10 band EQ before the Superego with the gain bumped up so that the Superego hears it all.
crazymilo12ParticipantI have put pretty much everything that will sound cool in the loop and I get can get great sounds. The thing that I do now is to put an MXR 10 band EQ (that I’ve had forever and rarely used) before the Superego with the gain boosted. Now I can pretty much what ever I want however I want in either series, parallel or split humbucker modes and the Superego can hear it all.
