If my amp is set up clean, then the tone through the Bad Monkey sounds like there's a blanket thrown over the speakers. I don't have an EQ pedal, so I don't know what frequency bands. Upper-mid & treble, I'm guessing. Above 1 kHz?

Trying to boost those frequencies after the pedal will just raise the noise content. Boosting before the pedal will require some serious tweaking of the pedal settings to compensate.

I like to keep my rig as simple as possible. I use a home-made A-B switch to isolate my pedals into a separate chain. That allows me to pre-set the effects and switch them in/out with one switch. Most of my sound is the mighty Ampeg, with on-the-fly changes made at the guitar. I over-used pedals back in the day, and I tend to avoid 'em now.
