Dobro simulation using EQ?

Post by db »

John Lemay had the settings to use with a graphic EQ to get the dobro emulation,
Mike Brown at Peavey also has some graphic EQ settings for a simulated Dobro sound.

Does anyone have this information?

Using a Boss GE-7 seven-band graphic, start by cutting the lowest frequency band all the way (100 Hz if I recall correctly). Cut every second band all the way and boost the rest of the bands all the way (sorry, I don't remember exactly what freqs we're talking about). Adjust to taste. I don't think it works very well, frankly. I bought a Boss acoustic simulator and I think it sounds a bit more "dobroish" than the EQ.
