cheap, one band, seems to have Q control.
Any feedback on this?

Hey Metro, well only one band, careful what you mean by "Q", as in other posts, I knew Q as centre frequency back in the old days when I did audio engineering degree, as MJMP points out, that's not what it means these days. IIRC he said it means quality, and also the resonant frequency of a speaker. This (link) doesn't mention Q so what do you mean by it ?

Looks pretty cheap and cheerful to me, if you just want to boost one area of the sound (it doesn't appear to have cut (so to me isn't even a 1 band parametric)).
Interesting the spelling (Dial in percise EQ settings) and you get to dial in 1 setting only (at a time).

I've not heard one, but the Rane you have coming should be good.

Hi rnolan...my Rane Sp15 is at the post office and I will be getting it later today.   I'm not sure what the previous poster was refering to but the Sp15 is in fact a single CHANNEL 5 band para with Freq, bandwidth (Q), and gain for each of the 5  overlapping bands.  I will post results and pics of the complete rack tomorrow afternoon.

Hi Rnolan,

I think you were referring to the link i posted.
The Atrec pedal seems to me a good solution for the bass weakness of MP-1, but have no feedback on the quality sound.
If you look at the photo is visible a "width" knob which should be the Q control.

Hey Micky, doh  :facepalm: my bad sorry. It looks like a reasonable option to add some bass boost and very tunable to where you'd want it (assuming it has full range freq sweep, my guess it does). You could run it in MP1 loop to add a bit of 80 Hz (bottom E = 82Hz (ish) when tuning A = 440 Hz, Europe used to be A = 445 Hz, not sure if it still is ??).

Ok so we are on the same page now re Q = Bandwidth and I'll go with the times and shutup about the old days LOL.

@Metro, cool, hope it's all good  :thumb-up: . Parametric's are very useful and very tweak-able. I'd suggest starting with the centre frequencies of the 5 band boogie graphic as they are set for guitar. IIRC SC posted them a little while ago.

I recieved my Rane Sp15 and placed it in the MP1 loop.   Readjusted the gain levels for unity, adjusted the parameters og each band using my ears and not any given protocol and  Wow!!!   Really opens up the breath of my tone dramatically.  I've sampled  5 crunch and 5 clean patches with the same settings on the Rane and am very satisfied.  Now I've got to experiment with the endless possibilities. :banana-guitar:  I have not yet dialed up a Mesa freq setting yet,  kinda saving that for later today.   Heres a pic of the rack.  MosValve not included cause it's own rack box.  I LOVE my MP1 rig.  Thanks to everyone here for their input, knowledge and inspiration.

Hey Metro, happy to help, enjoy  >:D :thumb-up: :whoohoo!: BTW rack pic is upside down  :facepalm: . I suspect the Mesa settings will take you on yet another journey LOL. After 44 years I've "kind of settled" on my sound(s), but the new guitar is taking me places I haven't been (or been for a while) before. It never stops but you have to slow it down so it's usable (a bit esoteric but hope you get what I mean).

Hey Metro, don't sweat it LOL, it seems an iPhone thing ?? is that's what your using ? You could use a pc ? Connecting your phone to the internet is dangerous BTW (but I'm an ICT Security consultant, so I very rarely connect mine, just for OS updates and I don't download apps, 900% increase in malware in Google Apps last year...)

Can you please post your comments and settings and describe what the idea is behind those settings (Mesa, etc,...). Next week I get a Rane too and it will be a good starting point on my quest for new tones :)

El Chiguete...i am at work right now so I cant give you settings until tomorrow.   I can however tell you that it will not be easy to give you accurate values  of frequency because the unit is analog and does not have a digital display.  It has rotory pots.  The knob points to a scale of frequencys that are printed on the face plate of the unit.  A very small rotation of the freq knob can make quite a difference.  So for example if I have a knob set at exactly 400hz on the dail, then yes I can tell you that its at 400 hz.  If the knob is set slightly above 400hz,  I really dont know the exact value now because there is not a printed value on the face plate at that particular spot.  The next printed spot  might read 500hz so I would assume the value to be between 400hz and 500 hz proportionally.  The 5th freq band, I believe,  covers a much greater range, I think its luke 6k -20k, so the dail position cannot clearly spell out exactly what freq your manipulating.  I can give you position of the knobs as hands of clock.  Anyway I really love the unit and I hope yours suits your needs as well.
