So, I have seen almost everything else posted here that I can think of - except - using an EQ as a mid-boost to emulate the 2nd channel of his Fender amp.
Wondering if anyone else is doing this? I tried it with a PQ4 not long ago and it works great, now I also have a Fromel Shape. It really puts the final touch on the lead tone IMO. Deciding which pedal I will keep, probably the Fromel.

Can't say i've tried that, but it seems pretty interesting! I am using an FDII on vintage for my mid boost for leadzz
I was taking a look at the Boss Feedbacker /Booster pedal. It has a knob that adjust the boost frequency so you can boost the treble, mids, or just keep it flat. I think im going to get that and just use that in my lead channel
Nice! I thought about it for a while and held off since EQ pedals seem pricey since I like my base tone.
I have 2 TS9 Silvers>Ross Comp Clone>Mid-Boost and after using an EQ, the other 3 pedals don't get me the whole way there.
That Boss pedal sounds interesting, someone mentioned it in another thread I was reading a few days ago - I didn't realize it had the ability to do a mid boost - it sounds like a Trey influenced pedal, lol! I had considered adding the EHX freeze as a cheap boomerang to 'hold' that sustained feedback tone like he does.
I recommend getting a DM2000. You would get those Vintage Delay loops along with a great Delay unit. Sometimes ill set a delay loop on my Line 6 M13 and use the DM2000 as a delay unit and of course sometimes i need to get my own personal Jedi Trey action on with a Whammy patch and create a Delay loop on my DM2000 and then add some Tremolo and Univibe and Modulate the shit out of it. Just get a DM2000. I dont know of any other unit that has a dedicated Hold and Mod jack for a footswitch. If that doesnt work a Korg DL800R would probably come close
Yea, I have the Flashback with an okay loop... I find that I rarely use a loop though - I know that is the idea I would be using a Freeze for, but I don't actually plan on getting that. I have owned a few pedals that do interesting stuff, but I always end up selling it and sticking with the stuff that adds directly to tone.
