Yun ba yung "Papa was a rolling stone, Mama was a rolling stone, everybody's singing tsokolate" ?
Pero bago ang lahat muna...kung manipis ang tunog ng gitara mo, dapat yun muna ang start mo galawin. Most often, ang multi hindi na namo-mod. Kung external naman na EQ, pwedeng kumapal ang tunog mo, pero maa-alter naman yung overall tone mo. Or lalabas, kelangan apakan mo yung EQ, tapos engage mo yung wah, 2 apak pa yun.
So I guess ang una kong naiisip, try mo muna pakapalin yung tunog ng gitara mo mismo
How about an external pre-booster pedal ? That seems like a solution din. So, you can use the Equalizer as a boost pedal and for tone-shaping na din.
