Great for dialing out the feedback on my hollowbody jazz guitar!

I liked the designed for acoustic guitar concept of the L R Baggs pedals. I bought and use four of them on a pedalboard for solo and small ensemble fingerstyle classical guitar (Sand Brazilian guitars), acoustic flat top guitars, and jazz arch-top since the effects that I need are usually relatively nominal and do not change the color of the instrument. I've used the Baggs pedals for about a year for frequent live performances unless I play through a microphone or an AER Classical amplifier.

Although quiet without unwanted coloration, the 6 band EQ knobs on the Baggs EQ pedal disappointedly add no value and do not work to my ear. Maybe the pedal is defective! I instead use the EQ settings that are on my guitar pickups.

I am therefore looking to replace my LR Baggs Align Equalizer Acoustic EQ Pedal and maybe demo an Empress Effects ParaEq MKII Equalizer (maybe the Deluxe version) which is also very quiet and significantly more flexible. I've satisfactorily used parametric equalizers in the past although I do admit that it takes time to get used to them.

I am satisfied with the other Baggs pedals.

I purchased the LR Baggs Align Equalizer Acoustic EQ pedal primarily to use with my LR Baggs Banjo Pickup bridge. That bridge is a passive pickup and I didn't have a preamp for it. I cobbled together a weak solution using a Fishman Powerchip preamp and an EQ pedal, but I was not totally happy with it.

So, I got this one and - problem solved! The three input level settings allow it to be used with passive pickups and instruments with onboard preamps. Add the six band EQ, notch control, phase switch, and hi-pass switch and I quickly arrived at a great sound for my banjo! It also works great with a guitar with a magnetic pickup, and my Dobro with a passive pickup.

I like the fact that you can operate it with 9v battery.

It did everything I needed!

The little box does exactly what I needed. It lets me fine-tune the sound before hitting the DI (LR Baggs Session DI), which has a good notch filter, but I want the sound as pristine as I can get it, so I have less concern over having to adjust the DI's EQ function.

Solid little piece with excellent clarity.
It does all of the acoustic EQ things you need.

Feels heavy duty (it is not a light pedal).

An excellent addition to your rig if you need a separate Notch Filter.
And it pairs very well with other preamps or acoustic amps.

Tried it on acoustic guitars, violin, stand up bass...does the job every time.

This is the pedal i should have purchased a long time ago. it would have prevented me from spending countless hours re-searching and hundreds of dollars, plus multiple returns etc in the vicious circle of tone chasing. this pedal can clear up muddy tone, piercing highs and boomy bass while giving you fairly complete control to change at will, plus the boost function as needed. i have found this useful in the home studio as well as when playing with others. a must have pedal for amped acoustic guitars, regardless of pickup system.

Had major feedback @roughly 120hz with both my Fender acoustasonic strat and my Taylor 810e…

No matter what setting I played in indoor, outdoor, church, home… tried using my multi effects pedal to get rid of it with no luck.

Stumbled upon YouTube video from LR Baggs showing same feedback issue and how easy it found the feedback and isolated it. Incredible how much cleaner you can get your tone and adjustability in your tone with the 6 band EQ.

WORTH EVERY PENNY!!!!

I've only had this pedal a couple of weeks and used it on one gig. I like it a lot. It brightens up the passive pickup in my dreadnought guitar. I also switch to a OO acoustic, and I think that the adjustable frequencies on the EQ are more suited for the dreadnought, but it still sounds good. I like the fact that you have so many gain, level, and high pass options.

Played live twice so far, lots of adjustability
Pretty happy with the pedal.
Thanks Cory for the help.

My Chet Akins Epiphone SST Has only volume and tone controls guitar sounded fine but I wanted a little more adjustability the LR bagg Align series equalizer pedal has done the trick. I haven't used it live yet but this weekend and I'm sure it will be what I was looking for.
Thanks to Corey at Sweetwater for his assistance and also reminding me that I had a $50 gift card that I had forgotten about.

Great acoustic EQ to add to your pedal board. Most of the time I'm playing a solid body electric, but there are 8 to 10 songs that just sound more authentic when played on an acoustic. The one I take out to gigs was pretty bright, and at certain frequencies came just to the edge of feedback. With this EQ pedal it was an easy set up. Dialed down the high end just a bit and brought up the low end as well. Depending on where we're playing and the monitor set up, There was still a tendency to hear that mid range feedback, but the notch filter took care of that with ease. I don't like using a sound hole cover because that seems to defeat the using the acoustic, which is the resonance coming from the body. Once you have it eq'd just set the level with it engaged to the of it off and you're all set. Great pedal EQ control without interfering with the tone of your acoustic. Highly recommend.

When playing my acoustic through an LR Baggs Synapse PA, I had the expected quiet, annoying low end rumble. I wanted a HPF and a bit more tone control. This unit works really well. The HPF took care of the low end and I was able to dial in a really nice overall tone. Well made and works great. Of course, Sweetwater service is unbeatable.

I run this in the effects loop of my Tonedexter preamp. It puts a finishing polish on my tone. LR Baggs make dependable gear.

I wouldn't say blown away. But works great and I recommend it for acoustic players. It does it's job well. I was a little turned off when I seen it was made in China. But I got past that. Just didn't expect China from a boutique company like LR Baggs. And would gladly have paid another 25 to 50.00 for it if it was made in America.

I have alsways liked LR Baggs. This eq sounds so clean and transparent. No coloration or tone suck or hiss. I am using the eq on my nylon string Culpepper Flamenco outfitted with a LR Baggs Dual Source Pickup. I have used quite a few eq pedals and this is one of my favorite. The frequency eq are perfectly selected for the acoustic guitarist. The size of the pedal is great it can fit on a nano pedalboard or other small board. I really wanted to have an EQ pedal that I could use with the battery and be completely free of using electricity. I"m using this pedal in conjunction with the LR Baggs Align Reverb and then run it it directly to the Bose S1 Pro in doing so do not need any electricity from an outlet. Finally even the shape of the pedal and look (wood grain) is a great aesthetic. The Sevice from Sweetwater has been stellar thankyou Yuval and LR Baggs.
