What are the benefits of having a rackmount on your rig? Not having (as much) on the floor. Not everything that comes in rackmount is available in a floor unit, not everything that comes in a floor unit is available in a rackmount. Many things are becoming available in both. More specific questions will produce more specific answers. |
| ___________________________________________ [Dec 14,2005 7:01pm - Rob the Treasury ""] Yeah, sorry about that. Basically, I'm only looking for a decent EQ and maybe some hum cancelation. Am I better off with pedals here? |
| _____________________________________ [Dec 14,2005 7:06pm - Hooker nli ""] depends on if you want to lug around pedals or lug around a rack. unless you have a rack head setup or a pre/power amp rack setup already, i'd get pedals. |

[img] As far as EQs, unless you've got a shitload of money, Behringer makes decent product for money rackmount EQs and I'd venture that MXR's foot pedal EQs are a little better than your standard BOSS/Digitech, or at least they tend to have more bands to play with. |

| ____________________________________ [Dec 14,2005 7:30pm - Kinslayer ""] Rack gear is generally better in overall quality but if you dont already have rack gear and all you want is a noise suppressor and an EQ rig then go with pedals unless you dont mind lugging around a rack rig or your head is already in one... Rack kicks ass because you can get a 31 band EQ which gives more room to really tweak your sound... I'm considering investing in a nice hush pedal... |
| _____________________________________ [Dec 15,2005 1:04pm - Rob The T. ""] 31 band eq?!?! Shit, I just shit myself a lil bit. Wouldnt that throw you back alot more that a few hundred dollars though? |
| _____________________________________ [Dec 15,2005 2:46pm - Hooker nli ""] not necessarily. and get a parametric eq. |
