Following my slow going clone series of posts, this time I decided to mess with the pickup sound. This is barely related to Mustang amps (as I'm using an external pedal) but it touches the Mustang amps in that there are differences on the tonal result depending on where you place the pedal on the chain.

I'm using a cheap-but-great Behringer EQ700. Lots of things you can do with it and the mustang, including making the Mustang speaker usable for MP3 back-tracks, or making the phones sound like the real speaker, but that is off-topic :)

The only thing you really need to worry about in regards to the Mustang amp and this pedal (and most EQ pedals from what I heard except the super expensive ones that cost more than the mustang itself) is that these pedals are quite noisy (hiss), particularly if you place them between the guitar and the Mustang instrument input. If instead you place them on the fx-loop, no more noise! It can be argued that placing an EQ on the fx-loop (post amp emulation) is not the same as puting it pre-amp, but I have found that doing some extra EQ adjustments you can get damn close to the pre-amp tone, even when putting the EQ on fx-loop.

My strat has neck single coils (texas specials) and sometimes I would like to have a neck HB, so this is the best EQ preset I was able to come with to get a humbuckerish tone :)

100 hz = -6db
200 hz = +1db
400 hz = +9db
800 hz = +5db
1.6khz = -7db
3.2khz = +7db
6.4khz = +7db

any other EQ suggestions are welcomed!
