The Boss GE-7B is a graphic equalizer pedal that is designed specifically for bass guitar. It is an analog unit that has both a 1/4 inch input and a 1/4 inch output and is powered by either a 9 volt battery or power supply. It is not a rack mountable unit as it is a stomp box.
UTILIZATION
The make up of the Boss GE-7B EQ pedal is quite basic as it simply has seven sliders at fixed frequencies and another slider for overall volume level. While each frequency is fixed, this isn't too limiting because each is at a frequency that is related to the bass guitar. The pedal is overall easy to use as you simple use the sliders to get your desired cut or boost. I don't have the manual for the Boss GE-7B, but it really isn't necessary as it is simple in make up and use.
SOUND QUALITY
The sound of the Boss GE-7B is more than adequate and provides more than enough control over your sound. While this has a good inherent tone, its all about how you want to use it and what you want to do with it. It has the ability to add to your bass guitar sound on the stage and in the studio, but I would really only recommend it for live shows. I love the sounds I get from this pedal when I plug in my Fender P-Bass into it and always feel that I get the most out of this pedal.
OVERALL OPINION
I've been using the Boss GE-7B bass guitar EQ for about two years and I definitely recommend it for the bass player looking to get a bit more control over their tone for live shows. While it is suitable for studio use as well, I only use it for live shows as I have other options for EQ in the studio. The price of the Boss GE-7B is about average but is definitely a good deal. Boss makes reliably built pedals that are priced right and will last a long time. Overall, the Boss GE-7B is worth checking out for all bass players.
