I only just now started using Mesa's 5-Band EQ Pedal with my dual rec, and it's seriously brought the amp to life.
Particularly the middle 3 bands of the EQ have been the most helpful. The presence and bass on the amp itself are pretty damn close to the respective 80 & 6600Hz on the EQ... but it's those 240, 750, and 2200Hz channels on the EQ that really allow for superior tone shaping.
In my opinion, no other EQ comes close to Mesa's signature 5-band design when it comes to guitar tones. There's something truly magical about those exact frequencies that Mesa chose... and likely something equally magical about the specific widths they chose for each channel.
POINT IS... if you own a Dual Rec, I seriously recommend buying Mesa's 5-Band EQ pedal. It should come built into the amp like with the newer models of their Mark series, IMO. If any of you got a dual rec and are using another EQ that's suiting you just fine, I'd love to hear about it. If anybody has tried that Mesa 5-band EQ pedal with non-Mesa amps, I'd love to hear about it, if it works the same kinda magic as with a Mesa amp or not.
