You can't look for annoying frequency while you play... At least on mobile. Every change need to be saved and applied before you can hear it... Useless..

I have the Sound Audio EQ2.
What I would improve ?
1. The screen -- An HD screen or smaller leds, so for every DB there is a separate led.
2. Adding Bluetooth connectivity to the already two separate ways the Neuro 3 app is communicating with your phone or computer, or tablet .
3. Improving the smoothness and consistency of communication of the Neuro app with IOS . No problem with android .
4. Compatability issues of Neuro 3 software with windows.
6. Replasing plastic buttons and aluminium main turning dial with stainless steel.
7. Reducing noise even more
The Neuro software idea, though, is the future since you can tweak every parameter , including determining a specific frequency to edit ; Boss EQ200 has specific set of 10 frequencies you can only edit yet on EQ 2 you could choose any frequency ! That is huge, and that alone made me buy EQ 2 over Boss EQ200.

Do you have to be running a midi rig to use it in the loop as well as early chain EQ?
More User Perspectives
I got lucky this being my second EQ for wind synth. A hundred presets becomes limitless.
@Robert_BrowneThank you for what you do - so helpful 🙏
@marksteinhauser3779Holy crap that was a scorching solo.
@SwinginBluesTubeI’ve heard the wah from the Source several times now, and I like the wah from the EQ2 better than any of the wah pedals I’ve heard. Just saying. …EQ pedals are the magic sauce…
I play amplified harmonica, a EQ is the way to remove the “honk,” bring out the sweetness, and boost the signal. I use different mics that require different EQ, so this pedal looks like a step up for my board
wow, not just pedal good reviewing and talking and stuff, butthe musicality and the presentation and good human beingness is on show. I could listen to an advertising commercial length's worth of album of the writable music just from this video. Wow. Not only have you proven yourself worthy of it, but it of you, as well, wow. Wow. Youtube comment #4324543. Yay.
@duel5071Brilliant stuff
@zombee38Sweet tune…where can I find the name of it? guitar tab, or tuning? Lol it’s stuck in my head and I’m murdering it try to riff it lol thanks 🤘🏻
@whitetailregulator7943I love you, you cross eyed freak of goodness. How about a reach around?
@jfly237killer! hey pete, which tuning is this 30" ? baritone and what string gauges from - to are you using. i´ve got a 30" baritone myself and i´m struggling to get a usable tone. the standard 84 strings for the low E just sounds like a weak bass. rather than a powerfull downtuned guitar.
@russelw.6288why nobody mentions that SA EQ2 changes the tone of a guitar even when all eq bands are in neutral position? So you’re adjusting tone with EQ that was already adjusted by turning on the oedal itself…wtf?
@IlyaKamaldinovChanges the tone with a bit of digital sound by two small merry eq s for stereo much cleaner sound
@michaelpeacestewartExcellent review, as always!
@jeddakIs there a difference in using a digital eq pedal like this versus an analog one?
@jkta97Great Pedal, Great Review. But Man, you are putting out Demo Songs for the Equipment which others would release on their Album. Love your playing even if I am into total different genres. Great work!!!👍👍👍🎶
@JOFxxxMusicThe boss EQ200 smokes this
@gibson2623The wah on the lead sounds very cool. Is there any more info on how to set up the EQ2 to get this? I understand you need to connect an expression pedal, but what are the EQ and modulation settings for the wah?
@rimantasbudriunas4411I can't tell if this guy is talking to the camera or🎥 someone to the left of and behind the cameraman?!?!?
@nicoguarini28Thanks Pete!! That Bell chimey thing was amazing!!! I'm definitely looking into this pedal for my rig, since mine is lacking an EQ pedal. Great playing!! Thanks for the review!!
@RobMoutreyThe fact that this can be used in the loop and in front of your amp simultaneously is absolutely mind blowing and will save me so much space and add versatility. Buying one asap
@alexmurphy5289I know it’s 9 months later, but I just have to say that intro was beyond AMAZING! So tasteful
@stevensrp2music985Smokes....💥
@humro5960Amazing review and amazing playing as always.
You’re killer, Pete!
Where’s my Viking helmet & wings, we’re gonna reboot Flash Gordon with this soundtrack!
@jwstout007The great big smile at 9 minutes when he turns the eq on. Like a kid pulling off a magic trick. Getting one of these.
@TNTalesThat was a great demo!
@BaritoneOneFiveDid you run input/output 1 to the front of the amp and the input/output 2 into effects loop of an amp?
@pinderdSo I came here for the pedal, which I already bought and will be arriving today, but I was more impressed by that baritone. It is probably the freakiest guitar that I have ever seen. Would not kick it out of bed but would not go out of my way to invite it in either haha. Great video as always!
@Tiger1016.Anyone have a recommendation between this or the boss eq200?
@jonathanfrieze8497SO, , the MIDI in on the EQ2 can receive virtual or LFO controlled Xpression pedal commands from my ES-5?
Modulation Madness. I can't help but see the power in this thing. I'm almost ready to bite.
This pedal seems like a my dream come true. I have been wanting a unit - ANY UNIT, that does ALL THESE THINGS. Buying one asap. 128 presets, tuner, two eq's post/pre, noise gate, which eliminates 4 spaces on the board ....plus it's midi and you can have a noise free wah using an expression pedal... I'm down with this big time.
Pete, you frikkin rule brother, love everything you do
@Pete Thorn Great video as always! Thanks! With an EQ this tweakable and readily controllable with MIDI, how would you set the tone knobs on your guitar? Would you dial them up to 10 and then control tone via the EQ pedal or what?? Thanks.
@williamboxx8493im lost on how to run the eq through front along with running it through the fx loop. im currently running only through the fx loop
@jeffvanbibber6609You convinced me to buy the Q/strip, then the Boss EQ-200 and now ill have to get the EQ2. Keep up the good work, ill be skint soon lol. Love the videos and the music in them.
@davebassP5Can this be used as a splitter to run 2 amps in stereo?
@bridge500tPete, can I ask you a question? What’s your opinion of my other favorite online guitarist, Kevin Shields ( My Bloody Valentine).? You both are extraordinary at constantly seeking new or new/old sounds. Don’t ever stop.
@h.markhorton8188Pete was born to make these kind of videos, unlike 75 percent of the others. Thanks Pete.
@h.markhorton8188Wow
@porfiryAwesome Vid Pete. How does it compare tone-wise (when pushed a bit) to say the Boss EQ200?
@Lexxo777Hey Pete, so which one would you say you would recommend the most for being the best at sound quality and clarity since you reviewed both, the boss eq200 or the S.A. eq2?
@Hmmm7512This is a great guitar EQ tutorial
@EsotericJihadIntro song is one of your best!
@BerndThomasSchullerPete, your stuff is amazing but this one just blew the doors off!!! Holy Crap!!
