Barb EQ mod?

Postby B-Nads » Tue Dec 06, 2011 9:46 am

Hi guys - new here. I'm a big fan of Barber pedals, and was very happy to have found this forum.

I have a question regarding mods to a BEQ. I wondering if it would be possible to set the voicing toggle on an a/b switch so I could foot select between the Tweed and BF settings.

Thanks,
Brent

I added a gear list to my sig - I'm in the process of finishing up my home recording gear, and will add a soundfile ASAP.

Sorry about that. :oops:

It's possible, you would need to re-house the unit to make room for an additional foot-switch.

Thanks, David.

So a wire running to an external A/B switch wouldn't work then?

Would this be something that I could send in and have done?

Thanks.

No, I would recommend using a relay in the Barb EQ to keep the audio path short and then control it from the external foot-switch...or re-house the unit and avoid the relay and external switch.
