Hey Everybody this is my friend Terry, and he's the guy I built this pedal board for in the video. If you have any questions for him feel free to ask. I'm sure he will be happy to answer all your questions. Also, he has a great new CD that was recently released that I'm sure you guys would like. If you go to his site you can hear some samples.

Like Bob said, midrange is the most important part of being heard in the mix. also remember to EQ with the entire band so you compliment each other, and always go out into where the audience stands/sits so you can hear what your tone sounds like mic'd up. @Metal Dave.

Even though it is a sometimes difficult challenge to get a perfect sound when 'tweaking' I now feel I can go out better prepaired with an awareness. You give the greatest professional guidence for serious guitarists, especially those who love to rock hard. Keep up the great work Bob, Thank You 'Metal' Dave Wakeham Hi Bob,

Also a bit of a loaded question too. Here's the answer... If you're using a Mesa Boogie amp such as a Dual Rectifier or something of that nature, I suggest using the cut method for sure. The reason being is that amps like those are already packed with tons of frequency boost. Meaning, you can easily add too much bass, (and most people do) which will start to destroy your overall tone and consistency. On the other hand, amps like Marshall, you would have no problem cranking the bass full throttle and getting away with it. This is the kind of thing that you'll need to use your own judgment on. Just remember, that you never want to stress the speakers with too much frequency. When in doubt, it's always best to pull back frequency and crank the volume. <strong>Another Golden Rule:</strong> make sure to have plenty of (MIDRANGE) in your mix. This is a common problem people have when dialing in their amp tone. The scooped mid sound, or (smiley face EQ) isn't the best scenario for a live sound. For recording purposes, it's a different story. I hope this helps. Thanks again for all your input bro. @Metal Dave, This is a good question Dave.. Also a bit of a loaded question too.

I think you'll be glad that you followed through with it, once it's all done. Building a pedal board seems very easy when you simply think about putting pedals on a board, but... when it comes to actually doing it, you discover all these little things that start cropping up that you didn't expect. When you have an action plan, and know what you want in the end, you'll be well on your way to finishing the project quickly.

It has not only given me the inspiration to revisit the pedal board project I started working on about two years ago but, this video also provides me with direction and ideas to complete the project. Thanks again for all you do to share your insight and expertise. "Keep Rockin'!" Bob,

Just one more thing ( you may have this question, but the computer failed this end ) Do you still use the 'pull frequencies away/ increase volume' approach on the amp dials. I know you said it for graphic/ parametric gear. Cheers Bob Rock on! Dave Alright Bob?

As we were talking about setting frequencies with EQ and you suggested that I tweak the on board controls first. Would you still recommend using the 'pull frequncies away/ add volume' principle for the amp too? This would get me off to a god start. Thanks Bob Metal Dave Wakeham Hi Bob,
