• Anyone use a graphic eq in their set-up? I have a 70s Yamaha CA600 amp and some 70’s Celestion UL6 speakers, which I love. I love the squishy 70s vibe and the top end detail but getting satisfying low end, especially at lower volumes can be tricky. I know the speakers can dish it out because they do fine when I crank bass-heavy stuff, but I’d like a way of tinkering with the low end EQ a bit. EQ seems to have gone right out fashion, so I was hoping I could find something suitable for a good price. Any recommendations?

  • Have a look at MiniDSP, can be used as a powerful software EQ and a crossover to add a sub or two, which is what you need if you want 40-80hz.

  • Thanks man. Will look into it. I mainly listen to folk, country, jazz, rock etc - not much EDM so no need for trouser-flapping sub really, it's just that when I crank the bass on the amp it seems to push the 100hz thump that lives in a rock kick drum, but i'm just missing that certain something below that for a really warm and enveloping bass sound. Hence my wondering if an EQ might be thing to just boost 60-80hz enough to get me what I want.
