I have been looking around at equalizers and was wondering how Epic 160s worked as one? I have heard they aren't very accurate for metering so is it even worth getting or am I better getting something like a Clarion 746?

I only use mine for voltage read outs, no the meter is not accurate but an effective way in telling whatever tweaking your doing is helping or hurting your system. I do listen to alot of old school so it helps in that region but if you dont need it for those needs there is really no point in buying a bass processor.

Alright well I already have a voltmeter and sure it would be nice to see around the db's I'm producing but it's not worth the money I suppose. I can just wait until the first comp and go from there

Thanks for the Advice

No problem at all, but dont get me wrong I do have fun with it on some songs to though (just make sure you need it before you buy it thats all Im saying). If you have money to spend and want to have some fun and tweaking measuring device till you get a TL Meter or something I would get it. Just my .02

How far off is it than a TL because I am also really just considering buying one and paying if off by letting others use it for a small fee.

All I know is it is not accurate, I have heard some say its acurrate, some say it is off by 3 db's, som say 5 db's and then up to 10db's. I have never heard of anyone actually doing a test to see how far off but I know there off by at least 3 db's or more if I had to guess.
