How does understanding EQ frequencies transform your guitar tone and help you as a live musician? Why are a 31-band EQ and an EQ pedal, in general, the most underrated guitar effects, in Joe’s opinion? In this legendary piece of advice from Joe Bonamassa, he shows you exactly how to craft the perfect sound for any mix or band setup and tells you why you need to invest in a good EQ. In this discussion taken from the Gibson Gear Guide, Joe and Dinesh break down the essential steps to understanding and improving your guitar tone. From dialing in your sound at home to how it translates in a band or recording setting, learn why understanding EQ frequencies is crucial for any musician and how it’ll help you nail your perfect guitar and vocal tone. Listen as Joe discusses the benefits of a 31-band graphic equalizer and explains where each instrument sits in the mix – from kick drums to bass, guitars, and cymbals. He explains why some tones sound huge on their own but can’t cut through a live or recorded mix and how Eddie Van Halen and Paul Kossoff got their legendary tones by carving out their frequency space. Watch as we break down how frequencies work in a band, why small amps work in the studio, and how to get your guitar to sit with the other instruments.
