I didn't get any manual with it so I thought I'd check around here. Is there a place online where one could dl the manual?

So what are some of the best ways to use this pedal?

What are some of your favorite settings?

Peace, M.C.

Favorite settings?

It all depends on the guitar you are using it with. I used to use my PQ-4 mainly to fatten up my strat's low-end, but not that I got a Gibson Les Paul Studio, I use it to emulate bass sometimes, it sure sounds better than an OC-2, havent tried an OC-3 yet though.

Thanks guys, I tried registering for the Roland site but they haven't emailed my confirmation to me yet.

Yeah Dingus, that's what I'm after, how does one know how to setup the PQ-4 in order to fatten up a sound?

Peace, M.C.

There may be some general settings that would serve as a starting point, but ultimately I think that you're going to have to come up with a setting on your own that's most satisfying to your ears just through experimentation. Different guitars, different pickups, different amps, etc. are all going to factor in here.

I think that the PQ-4 writeup over there on the left has an example for enhancing a Stratocaster tone to be more like a Telecaster.

When I get home tonight I'll write down my settings for fatting up my American Standard Strat, and post them in image form (if possible)

Hey thanks for going easy on me guys. I just have never worked with EQ before except for my tone knobs.

Stahlhart: I don't know what you mean by- "the PQ-4 writeup over there on the left..."

Dingus: Thanks, I'll be looking for it. I basically need a starting point and then I think from there my ears will be able to guide me for the hardware I have.

Peace, M.C.

If you're at the Bossarea home page, on the left side of the screen there's a column for the table of contents here -- scroll down until you reach PQ-4, and you can click on that for details on the pedal, which include a few sample setups for the pedal's controls.
