MXR M109S Mxr 6B Equalizer, Silver

Product Information

Low noise (it really has a much lower noise floor than other EQs I had and that was the main reason for me to look into the new silver MXR EQs. The MXR M109 6 Band Graphic EQ lets you completely reshape your sound or boost a wicked alternate lead tone that will jump out of the mix at will.

I nearly spent big on an EQ pedal with Q adjustment and at one stage considered a rack EQ but the new Boss has allowed me to hold back on that.

I'm bringing this up because with higher voltage ceiling one can get much bigger undistorted output voltage ----> with proper EQing (boosted high mids and treble) this makes MXR EQ an incredible booster pedal in front of the amp. Whether you want to save a couple of bucks by performing a mod or upgrade yourself instead of paying a tech, or want to build your own piece of gear from scratch, I'm sure you will find something interesting here. In addition, since the 6band is not a distortion – but a clean gain boost – it plays well with other pedals.

We’re going to have to wait yet another week for the interview with Kevin Holbrook of YMI5150 guitars because we have yet another newsworthy event. To add to its authenticity, this one even comes in its original cardboard box with the matching serial number – bonus.

Early MXR pedals have their downsides including battery‑only operation and this one is no different.Thought I remembered that from back in the day – the hissing, the feedback, the thinning out of tone. I received the MXR alkalizer a few weeks ago, and I am extremely happy with this device are use this in conjunction with another pedal for harmonica playing. When you're looking for a way to boost your tone, but want more flexibility than a traditional boost pedal allows, Sweetwater recommends checking out an EQ pedal like the MXR Six Band EQ Pedal.

I’m happy with my pickups, so the only thing I’m using it is to shape the sound after one of my hi-gain preamps. Apart from an amplifier, nothing gives guitar players a greater degree of control over tonality than an equalizer. They do, though, have a part to play in the vintage effect pedal landscape and will continue to beguile users of vintage analogue gear who want to tweak their tone in the old school way.The Six Band EQ can create scooped-mid rhythm tones with massive low end, add natural sounding warmth to a quacky acoustic pickup, eliminate onstage feed-back, and much more. This means that, if you want a radical change of tone mid‑performance, the 6BGE really needs to be switched externally as part of an effect loop. Having input and output gain settings like on the bigger brother (10 band model) would be nice, but then it probably wouldn’t cost half as much.

I love the blue color on the Dial says well when the lights are low produces a nice atmosphere kind of like looking at cop cars in the night time. If your tone is harsh or distorted to begin with, expect the MXR to make it sound that much more harsh. The MXR Six Band EQ covers all the essential guitar frequencies and has been upgraded with noise-reduction circuitry, true bypass switching, brighter LEDs for increased visibility, and a lightweight aluminum housing.

Overdrive indicator is very useful, it’s hard to tell when the pedal gets overdriven when the signal itself is heavily distorted, so having a visual clue is super cool. The date of manufacture is ascertained by the standardised coding on the CTS‑made slider array in the same way as for a normal pot, which is just as well, as MXR’s serial number system doesn’t help to determine its age. Love the rest too, including the Van Hagar years (oops, forgot about VH III…), but those first four vinyl donuts are to me and many others just the nads. Covering all the essential guitar frequencies, each slider of the MXR Six Band EQ is ready to deliver +/-18dB of cut or boost for total control over your sound. I dried a few different boost pedals in my effects loop, and I couldn't dial in the sound I was looking for.
