Fishman ToneDEQ Acoustic Preamp review and user guide part 1

The first part of my review and user guide of the Fishman ToneDEQ (pronounced "tone-deck") acoustic instrument preamp pedal. This is a combination preamp, EQ, compressor, boost and dual effects pedal that is designed as an all-in-one solution for the acoustic musician. I have owned this pedal for eight months at time of review. This is not a sponsored video, I purchased the pedal myself.

    Salve ha provato anche lo zoom ac 3?sono indeciso tra i due pedali vorrei un consiglio da lei? Grazie

    Ho una recensione dello zoom più piccolo AC-2 qui: kzread.info/dash/bejne/oJxqlcufaLbLZMo.html La differenza più importante tra i due è che l'AC-3 è un pedale di modellazione: personalmente non mi piace questa caratteristica, quindi ho scelto il Tonedeq.

    I have the Fishman Aura DI. Would it make much difference if I add the Tonedeq onto my pedalboard? Thank you ✌️

    Hello Mat, that's a good question. Both of these pedals have a compressor, three band EQ, phase switch and XLR output. The Tonedeq has the four onboard effects instead of the Aura's has the imaging section. If you already have the Aura, I think that adding the Tonedeq would result in quite a bit of feature duplication, so perhaps consider adding a reverb and/or delay pedal to your board instead.

    Does the Fishman Loudbox Mini do the job without this, or would having both be of value?

  • @GLBProductions

    The loudbox mini has only reverb and chorus, neither of which are footswitch-able. If you need delay, flanger or tremolo then the ToneDEQ would be a useful addition.

    hello! Excuse me... is it good for double bass or electric bass? thanks for your answer😊

  • @GLBProductions

    It can definitely be used for those instruments, although the EQ range and effects are optimised more for acoustic guitar, violin, mandolin etc. For electric bass I prefer something like the MXR bass preamp.
