Behringer ULTRAGRAPH PRO FBQ6200HD High-Definition 31-Band Stereo Graphic Equalizer with FBQ Feedback Detection System

Great quality, good sounding EQ pedal, I use it for recording my drums through

This is for the Behringer Graphic Equaliser. It does exactly what it says. I think being able to tune your sound to how you like it is a great function. It's not transformative but it certainly is noticeable and I think for around £20 it does more than what I expected it to. The build quality is okay, it’s mainly plastic as you’d expect for the price. It’s easy to use and can be powered via adapter or battery. I'm really happy with this!

Dosent seem to make much difference.Not really impressed

This is a amazing audio processor that made my sound system sound even better.I love it's build quality and how easy it is to use.It doesn't add any interference which I love.

Never owned an EQ pedal before despite being a guitar player since 1989.I can now see the use they have and although I do not use it all the time it certainly is being used.I opted for this pedal because of the price at just £23 it was worth a try. The pedal is plastic and I think for gigging I would go for a metal case just for the extra reassurance of it being robust. At the moment I use it at home for studio work only.If you are curious about an EQ pedal then I recommend trying this one.

Budget pedals, Behringer especially, get a really bad rap as a whole. I'm an advocate of budget pedals and it is important I make that really clear and have used Behringer before too. They serve a specific purpose and my review is pitched as such and will not be making a blow by blow comparison to the Boss on which this is based. It wouldn't be fair or appropriate to.This 7 band EQ pedal works. It serves the purpose I got it for. Which was to 1) experiment with an EQ to see if I could make use of one 2) have an alternative clean tone readily available and not have to mess with core settings on my amp and 3) be able to 'tune' for the room when I playing live. This EQ has done all that really well.If you are considering an EQ chances are you have researched how to use one so I will not go into how it sounds from the point of view. Just know that it works as intended for sound sculpting like any other 7 band EQ with the same dB cut/ gain too and it works just as effectively. The inclusion of an overall output level is great giving you more flexibility too - often something left out at this price point.I use it infrequently so the more flimsy build quality isn't a problem for me right now as I am not switching it on and off regularly enough to break it. I have also deliberately put it on my board in a place that requires a bit of a gentle tip toe to switch it on and off. So again, I'm minimising the risk of breaking it from being heavy footed.Some things to consider:-It IS built to it's price point, you must factor this in.-The sliders have little resistance and it's very easy to knock them with just a guitar cable brushing them.-It will break if you're heavy footed with it because it is all plastic and all the internal control mounts are too.-You can clearly see (and feel) where they have compromised the build for the price point.-It is appreciably noisier than other units even with only a few dB boost on the mids.However, if you have your expectations in check before you click buy, the above should not be an issue and I will not mark it down for it.One thing I will mention though is signal loss. Again, this is because it is a budget pedal but it is something I feel warrants a mention as it is a fundamental tone thing. Plugging this into my signal chain had a very appreciable impact on upper mids and trebles with a darkening of the tone even when switched off . Thinking it was simply the 'tipping point' for signal loss on my existing six pedal setup I ran direct into the EQ pedal and then the amp with my shortest cables. The same darkening.I'm lucky that I already have an always on buffer unit on a larger board to fix this, but this is quite a significant thing when you consider it is aimed at budget user who may not have a dedicated buffer. Or even know about them. The more expensive 'buffered' pedals on the smaller board couldn't compensate enough for the signal loss from the Behringer either.Which makes it hard for me to REALLY recommend it. I'm an advocate of budget pedals. They make experimenting affordable and I wish they had been about 35 years ago when I got started and I still buy budget now when I am experimenting myself. Either selling or passing them on when no longer needed. However, there are times when the more expensive version is the better starting point and in this case I think it might be true.A second hand Boss GE7 is still double the price of this new, but even if you decide it isn't for you it will retain the value you got it for and will be easy to sell on and unless you get a severely beat up one, there is little risk with buying second hand Boss stomp box format. Having A/B'd the Behringer and the Boss, there is no appreciable signal loss with the GE7 and on this occasion, I'd say go for the Boss.

I must first admit that I am using this equaliser with the Behringer AMP800 headphone amplifier and the two devices are so well matched that they fit together like a well made sandwich, in all honesty they should really be sold together with connecting cables as a matched pair.OK, once properly set up (to taste) the FBQ800 brought joy to my old ears, for example, I can now hear those delicately played instruments hidden in the mid-range, the lead singer enjoying the song he is singing, background singers now brought into focus and, most amazingly, when the lead singer is singing harmony with the backing singers.I have now tailored what I hear to my particular liking, such as firming up bass and taming bright treble, i.e. mixed and equalised to taste. I believe that this item is well worth the price for it's ease of set up, loads of controls to tailor your music, the way it works so effortlessly with the AMP800 and above all this device can be set to accommodate any music lovers particular tastes.Now I will say that Hi-Fi purest will turn their noses up at the FBQ800 but this device is not about Hi-Fi, it's about enjoying your music and for this well targeted goal the FBQ800 truly brings it.However, the downside to the FBQ800 is it's plastic look and feel but if you can overlook this one flaw you will be very happy with how this device controls and delivers your music.For me, this is a great addition to my music system and a well deserved 5 star device, and “5 stars plus” when used with the Behringer AMP800.
