I 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.

I 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.
