| I've owned a nice 1867 for years - got the OP24 preamp with 3-band EQ. My question: how do you experienced Ovation players like to EQ your guitars?
I play jazz/R&B/blues mostly, and I usually run treble at midpoint or lower - sometimes totally off - it's easy to get too harsh.
Always looking for a mellow, full tone - thanks for any replies. |

Location: PDX | It's tough to define jazz tone --who's? That said, few jazz guitarists use a signal chain starting with a piezio.
I'd take cwk2's recommendation but raise the base and lower the treble which you can do at the amp as well. When i play jazz tunes i grab my Telecaster, dime the bass, five on mids and three on the treble and roll off the tone until i hit the sweet spot.

Sounds best through a single-ended (class A) tube amp driven just enough to get some "shimmery tones" and harmonics goin. |

How do you EQ, esp. for a "jazz" tone?
