OK I got the Dunlop MXR KFK Kerry King 10 Band Eq pedal. My problem is it didn't come with a manual. So I was wondering what do all the different frequencies mean. Like which control bass, treble, gain ect ect. I think it's best I find out before I plug in and accidently blow my speaker haha.

Try it out and fuck with it, each the lower frequencies are bass, the ones in the middle are your mids and the highest numbered freqs are your highs. Thats the simplest answer i can give you

the left-most slider is volume, and the right-most slider is gain. you should hopefully already know what these kinds of controls will do to your sound. the sliders in the middle, going from left to right, are low bass frequencies up to high treble frequencies. moving a slider up from the middle (zero) will cause an increase in the pronouncement or level of the specific frequency, while moving a slider down will cause a reduction. boosting the mid-range frequencies should be a step toward some decent guitar tones. cutting the mid-range will give you sort of a nu-metal type sound. what you prefer is up to you. now experiment!

Is there any risk of blowing my speaking cabinet?

bassically like from left to right. The Hz and then the Kz. what do each mean? Does the Hz mean bass frequencies?

don't let the numbers deceive you. the Hz are lower frequencies, and the K = 1000. rather than writing 1,000 Hz, they write it as 1 KHz. so the 31.25Hz is your lowest, most bass-y frequency.. and the 16kHz (or 16,000Hz) is your highest, most treble-y frequency.

i don't know about damaging your cabinet.. you should go to the dunlop website and see if you can download a manual in case there are any warnings. i doubt it, but you should check their site or call them if you want to be sure. in the meantime, if you keep the volume and gain relatively near the middle, you should be able to mess around with the frequencies all you want.

EDIT: here's a link to the manual

awsome thanks a bunch. Just curious by increasing the gain would the amps gain would obviously increase but would I get a shit load of noise and stuff if I do this?

like all pedals with gain knobs and sliders, it will get noisy. Just imagine the EQ as the eq knobs on your amp... except theres more of them

You won't damage your speaker cab with an EQ pedal. Generally speaking, you shouldn't have to max out (either + or -) any frequency. Just have a play and see what sound you like- beware that the tone will change slightly at higher volumes, so take that into consideration if you're going to be rehearsing/gigging

Hmm so I guess a noise surpressor is probably in order.

^ most definitely.. i have a Boss EQ and i can't run it without an NS-2 ..well i can, but it can get quite noisy.
