BOSS GE-7 Equalizer | Compact Graphic Equalizer Pedal | Tailored for Guitarists | 7 Bands of EQ Sliders | Guitar-Optimized Frequencies | ±15dB Boost/Cut Per Band | Level Slider for Volume Adjustments

Best EQ on the market. Built to last and does the job perfectly.

There's absolutely nothing to complain about with this pedal. It's made by Boss and performs really well, allowing plenty of control over an instrument's tone. If you play around with different tonalities it'll see some use, but there's also a chance to find a perfect tone and then just leave it there in the signal chain. If you like the sound of a "half-cocked wah pedal" you can get it with the GE-7; if you want just clean boost with a little bit more treble for a solo you can do that as well, perhaps pushing an amp into gentle overdrive as you do so. If you feel a bit of prejudice against a pedal that is basically a tone control (as in a hi-fi graphic EQ), try to imagine the possibilities for live playing or simply for capturing a sound that's in your head, or even just wildly experimenting to find ways of turning single-coil pickups into fake humbuckers (soundwise at least) or the other way around. So is it something we all must buy? Well, no. There are other pedals that are equally capable, such as the GE-7 equivalent from Behringer. The GE-7 is built like a tank, the Behringer not so much. If you're not stomping on it dozens of times while playing a set then the Behringer will do the job as well as this will. The Behringer also runs on a proper 9v supply, whereas Boss pedals can operate on 12v. with the voltage taken down to 9v internally. This works okay with a Harley Benton PSU feeding it 9v. The GE-7 also has a built in buffer, as most if not all Boss pedals do. A big deal is made of "true bypass" as though "true" is a virtue. Anybody that knows about cable capacitance and the loss of top end signal will be glad to have a buffer at the start of a signal chain (which is where the GE-7 will typically sit) would be glad to have a Boss buffer provided there "for free". So it's also saving you from buying a separate buffer device for your growing monster FX board! So it won't make any mesmerising sounds that keep you playing, but may just allow you to find that killer tone that does the same.

Every guitarist should have an equal pedal. Top quality.

Ive only had this pedal for a day and can already hear a lot of possibilities for it. It can be used as a simple clean boost but its the tonal shaping it can bring thats most encouraging. Ive always loved the sound of a neck pickup on a les paul (slash, moore, bonamassa) but never managed to get mine to where i wanted it, always sounded muddy. Not any more, this pedal allows me to bring a sweeter sound to the neck pickup without losing its original character. Even just for that, its worth the money.

Awesome

Pretty good used for clean boost - EQ allows it to be re-calibrated for different guitars/amps.

It really is useful in getting the sound you want from your instrument

Could be useful but it introduced noise in my chain and for this it proved useless for me. Perhaps good for others. Pity because I love Boss pedals.

Güzel pedal.

Encore une super pédale !! J'ai une eq mxr et préfère la ge-7 boss

地味なエフェクターなんだろうと舐めてました。 メインの歪みのPlexitoneの後ろに繋ぎましたが完全に化けました。 プレゼンス域を少し上げることにより不満に思っていた低音の抜けが改善されてザクザク刻めるようになりました。 アンプで補正できない細かな調整ができるのは最高です。 あと右端のレベルですが、完全に絞り切ると歪みの質感はそのままに深夜でもガンガン弾ける音量まで下げられます。 控え目に言っても神エフェクターでした。もっと早く買えば良かった…

fantastic pedal, not cheap but boss quality will last forever.

Muy bien fabricado, como el resto de pedales Boss. Hay quien puede pensar que 7 bandas son insuficientes, pero realmente se puede modificar mucho el tono con este pedal. También puede usarse como booster.
