Secondly, whatever people call it, I don't use them.
Thirdly, the apparent need to "de-flubb" suggests that all is not well with one's guitar/pedals/amp combination.
Whatever works to get a sound you like is valid.
1. Buy a treble bleed mod kit
2. Eiither install it yourself or hand it to a shop for a couple of weeks
3. Adjust the volume pot to the desired level
4. Buy a boost pedal
5. Use the boost to bring back the level to a desirable one
6. Enjoy your guitar sound
And here's another simple trick to deflubb your guitar sound:
1. Use an EQ pedal
:-)
Joking aside I'm glad you've found a solution that works for you. There are loads of different ways of going about it and it's the end result that matters. But I don't see what's wrong with just using an EQ pedal!
Thing about this thread is don’t ever stop tweaking and turning knobs on your kit (ooh err missus) you’ll never know what sounds you’ll find.
I can't be the only one?
It's not an EQ pedal. Once you switch it on you will completely forget it's there and even wonder if it's doing anything...until you switch it off and realise how flubby your sound is without it. Can be used in the fx loop or direct ... best position will depend on your amp and fx loop.
One of the cleverest and most underrated and essential pedals out there.
The background to this is me deciding to limit myself to one drive pedal and properly apply myself to working with it rather than swapping pedals in pursuit of some imagined ideal tone which in my case tends to be a self-perpetuating excersise in frustration.
It’s also about me accepting that playing my rig at home is a compromise anyway.
I do take the point about the EQ - however for me this is about working with what I already have, and seeing what I can get away with on the board that still gives me the sounds I’m likely to need. It was all starting to get a bit swappy and I suddenly felt the overpowering need to leave the damn thing alone.
(and I don't own a Mesa - it was just to illustrate a point)
I've only ever heard it used in the context of running a Princeton flat out, I definitely know what that means!
