Hi everyone
As I love distortion, I have tried out various ways of retaining the low end, starting with bass-heavy pedals like the DOD Carcossa or the EHX Russian Big Muff, going ahead with using a Boss LS-2 to blend the clean back in, then simply using the LS-2 to split my signal into my amps two channels, getting more extreme with owning two Ampeg 810s so simply running a clean and a distorted fridge, and ending up using a Source Audio EQ2 with Channel 1 as clean, and splitting off a 2nd separate chain of effects on Channel 2 into the other amp.
This final solution gives me very good control over my overall output as well as my EQ, especially since the signal split happens also with the pedal disengaged, so it can act like a mids/treble boost once I engage it.
I've been gassing for a KMA Tyler Deluxe as of lately, and was wondering this one thing:
Is it a "true" crossover pedal; meaning does it REALLY split the signal at a certain point in frequencies?
Is this beneficial over using my Source Audio EQ2, which has Channel 1 dialed in very strongly accentuated for everything between 70-250hz (and basically cut off everything below 40hz to prevent unnecessary reggae style rumble), and some heavy cut off around 4k-20khz, and Channel 2 sort of being flat but having a bump around 500hz & 2800hz (the Darkglass frequencies), as well as a slight drop off in the bassier frequencies.
It works fine, although I find myself often tweaking the EQ endlessly only to finally disengage it in frustration.
How does the Tyler work? Is there "true" crossover pedals? Advice?
Current signal chain:
Schecter Stargazer IV w/ SD SPB-3 pups
--> Tuner --> SA EQ2-->
"clean channel [1]" --> Compressor --> Bass Big Muff (always on but dialed in very smoothly) --> Ampeg SVT-CL --> SVT810
"dirty channel [2]" --> Darkglass Alpha Omega --> EHX Russian Big Muff --> Boss DS-1 --> Bass Wah --> Phaser --> Delay --> Reverb --> Ampeg Micro-VR --> SVT810
Yes, the setup is complete overkill, but it's my hobby, it's fun to be loud and dirty, and hobbies are supposed to be fun not logical
