As we have mentioned before, this is a 7 band graphic EQ. The top part of the pedal is where you will find the corresponding sliders. In addition to the seven bands available, you also have a master level slider to work with. The boost and cut capability is operating within the -15dB to 15dB range. That might not be the most powerful boost you can find, but it's more than enough for most applications. The sliders are rather precise and tactile. You can easily adjust them on the fly, even in conditions with low light. Performance Lots of guitarists underestimate the power they can hold with a simple graphic EQ pedal like this GE-7. Boosting for solos, cutting out problem frequencies, reshaping the natural sound of the guitar (i.e. cutting away the bottom end of an LP or boosting the lower mids of an S-type): there are loads of powerful ways you can take advantage of an EQ pedal!

I started using it when I realised that the beautiful tones I got from my guitars, amps and pedals at home had a tendency to get drowned when playing with my band.While the sound man might be great, relying on him to reset your EQon demand is not going to work. An EQ pedal allows you to get that boost you need when you need it and it's so easy to use you can fine tune your tone in less time than it takes the drummer to count you in. Renowned Boss build quality BOSS’s colourful stomp boxes are the most recognisable pedal range in existence. For over 40 years, guitarists from bedrooms to stadiums have put their boot down on a BOSS effect to transform their sound. Several models have passed into guitar legend and early examples can fetch extremely high prices. Happily, BOSS have maintained their stellar reputation for world-class effects in bomb-proof casing with their current range and have fended off the imitators for decades to remain the pre-eminent single pedal effects manufacturer in the business. If there’s an effect for guitar (or bass, vocals, keys…be creative!) then you can bet BOSS have a pedal of it in their range or even invented it outright! Every guitar player should get to experience the joy of selecting a pedal from BOSS’s exhaustive roster, plugging it in and unleashing their wildest sonic dreams.

The Boss GE-7 equaliser pedal features seven band EQ so you can boost and from 100Hz to 6.4kHz, there’s also a slider for you to adjust your overall level for further control over your sound. The MXR is the perfect boost. It tightens the tone, and adds gain but without congesting and compressing the tone like a overdrive can. It's my fav boost. I still use my Maxon od808, Boss sd-1, and even my metal zone for that purpose, but the MXR 6 band is the best of the bunch and gets the most use from me. The 10 band is also really good, but doesn't sound quite as tight as the 6 band, which is just more focused in it's tone. A frequency range of 100 Hz to 6.47 kHz has been divided into seven bands for you to cut and boost to really shape your guitar tone with the Boss GE-7 Graphic Equalizer pedal.

Oh no! Why did I get blocked?

In the loop.... the Danelectro 7 band fish & chips is the quietest EQ pedal I have used, and it sounds good for that purpose, just making minor adjustments from the loop. Sounds good, quiet and cheap. Only problem is it goes through batteries faster than anything I have used, so a 9v adaptor is a must. The GE-7 proved really effective at the task. Basically I use it only to make my tone sit nicely in the mix on rehearsals or gigs. I don't use it at home, because what I'm trying to do is to sound as good as home in a band context. I don't use it to create special sounds or to make my amp sound like another one, though it can certainly do that. The GE-7 is a real working man's EQ that brings just what you need to get the job done, and none of those pesky options which are not often used in many cases, and are more distracting than anything else. To its defense, some of the best guitar effects pedals are often times simple in nature. Carbon-zinc battery (9 V, 6F22) Options (sold separately) AC adaptor: PSA series Size and Weight Width 73 mm There's a rather extensive list of musicians who will have one of these Boss stompboxes on their pedalboard, even though you could say their tones are a bit more specific. One name that comes to mind is John Mayer. Affordable EQ pedals are not always that great, that is for sure.
