These can be a starting point for those who still have their Zoom G3 or
G5s. I find the sliding pedal-style concept amazing, and I feel this
will be my rig for a lot of years to come. In fact, I've done this page
because I feel happier than I ever had with my tone and amazed at how
practical this is. I love the Harley Benton pedal amp because I can turn
the volume with my foot, and I can adjust my tone with the EQ without
touching my presets.
Graphic EQ important note:
For several months, I had been playing my HSS Ibanez RG550LTD more than
the other RGs because I was in love with the single coil neck tone. So I
became obsessed with it, and I wanted to reproduce it on my other RGs.
You've probably heard about humbucker split, removing coils on one of
the bobbins, and maybe some other tricks I don't know about.A couple of months I was thinking about it once again, and I told myself: what if the EQ could help me on that? So I asked myself what would be the frequencies which a single-coil is more sensitive to. Short answer: if you have an EQ pedal or EQ feature on your pedalboard, give it a try by boosting slightly the frequencies around 3.4kHz. Personally I'm enjoying it a lot!
As for the presets, here we go:
1// ACOUSTIC
Like it a lot. I get a full, acoustic but boosted tone, lovely for chords or soloing.
