Those settings are just about as close as you're gonna get for the EQ... unless Mrs. Rhoads lets you check out Randy's pedals.

A while ago a poster when they recorded Blizzard appeared in GW, one can see the knobs of the EQ very clearly. Like a 'frown', so midboost. (and if I remember correctly he didn't boost 8K and 16K frequencies)

I'll take your word for it, but it's always worked for me... I guess I'm just not a perfectionist when it comes to being exact :D

I do but when i got it i was told "this picture will never be on the internet" And my word is good as gold. And the pic i have is a close up of Randy's EQ in the PB.

can u pm me it or email or smthing, i wouldnt post it at all being a devoted randy fan. its pretty safe on this site, all im looking for is to see if i can get close to him tone.

the least you could do is tell us where each one of the settings are, how far above and below the lines they are on the pedal, do u have the settings for the rest of the pedals as well?

Sorry so big but you can see it better. That is what RR EQ looks like and that is the same volume pedal

Is it likely anyone could have moved the settings on the EQ since the last time Randy used it and you seen it? So since you have all the Rhoads gear, how's these new found settings sound??? does it get you a lot closer to Randys tone? thanks for posting the settings man!
