All user reviews for the Shadow SH EQ 5

Used for a year, simulating several versatile micro active pickups (EMG 81, Gibson PAF, and many other ...) thanks to its built-in EQ ... the transition from one simulation to another and yet a bit long (we do not just go from one simulation to the next to each song).

I also use an EMG 81 on another guitar and the rendering is close enough, but given that it sagit not the same guitar not clear whether this is perfectly simulated.

I bought 2 years ago in the USA, $ 150, a bit expensive but I do not regret either. I sold one on AudioFanzine then with the experience I would do not have that choice because I want to buy a lipstick.
But I think it is a good microphone.

I use the microwave for 2 years on a Chinese guitar wood VERY light, and given in SI.
The microphone quickly reaches its limits because of the tuning. It is not meant to, and yet he does well.

The setting of the beast is effective. like any equalization, it takes many trials before finding her.

We can still easily find a round, warm, with a low output level (through the volume control).
Well, I said it ... but me it's rather violent distos (at Kataklysm, At The Gates) which I plug into. So for this kind of sound, it's really an advantage to have an equalizer early in the audio chain.

Like anything has Equa, it allows a wide range of possibilities. It gives a good flexibility and still have access to its extremes.

The record is less "perfect" as PAF gibson, EMG and company, that are proven and developed sun dan purpose long ago.

By quality / price ratio, we arrive at a cheaper overall "good mic + card working with equations (genus boost emg)" for rendering the final pretty good!
