Equa 7-band graphic, analog input and an output Jack 1. Alim 9 v battery or adapter. Boss familiar format.

UTILIZATION

Easy to use. The settings are very efficient, which means we can achieve results sometimes little musical ... So let your ears decide whether the result meets your expectations.

SOUND QUALITY

Plugged into the effects loop of my GH50L, I use it to dig a little sound, bass boost. I used it with other amps (still using the effects loop) and is ideal for who wants to correct the general response of an amplifier.

OVERALL OPINION

Purchased without comparing with other marques.En 3 years of use, not a single problem. Boss is true to its reputation for reliability. If it is a little more expensive than some competitors, in the longer term we do not regret the investment. His side, watch out for extreme settings, leading to sound very artificial. Repeat this choice would mean that a villain has been the trunk with my pedal board. What I hope not, of course, for him as for me ...

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a year and I'm tired, I use it almost every time and always at home on stage

- 7 bands of Greaphic EQ
- 1 volume/gain slider
- Solid Boss style construction
- Powered by 9v Battery or boss style adapter
- Easy access battery compartment
- Buffered bypass
- LED battery indicator


UTILIZATION

Pretty much a standard graphic EQ. Sliders for 7 bands give you a pretty solid amount of control over your tone. The volume slider is a really nice addition, and makes it a lot easier to use the pedal as a boost. Compact boss style size makes it nice and easy to fit on every board. The advantage of Boss pedals is that they are incredibly common and can be picked up on the road in the unlikely event that they break. The easy access battery compartment means you don’t need to unscrew the entire back plate if you’re using batteries (but seriously, you shouldn’t be using batteries..)
Run it after your guitar to control the tone going into your amp. It works really well after dirt pedals to fine tune what they do to your signal. Run it in an effects loop if you are after an additional EQ channel, or fine tuning your amp.


SOUND QUALITY

Here’s where this pedal falls apart. Possibly one of the very noisiest pedals I’ve used. Yes, the sliders work as they should, and it will help you get some control over your tone. But in any kind of higher gain or compressed situation, you are going to get all kinds of buzz and feedback. I was really not impressed with this one. And as always, the Boss buffer is really not the best. If you have any interest in preserving a carefully constructed tone, I’d pass on the GE7.

OVERALL OPINION

I’d recommend passing on this one. Excess noise and a subpar buffer make it a pretty mediocre pedal. graphic EQ is one of the most overused effects among guitarists. If you really do need a GEQ and run a clean signal without much compression, this one will do the job (loosely speaking). But if you’re after anything of better quality, or run a noisier setup, I’d look into the MXR pedals. Far better built and priced pretty reasonably. I also recommend taking a look at parametric EQs, as they can be a lot more useful. The BJFE Sea Blue EQ and Fromel Shape EQ are some really nice ones. But regarding the GE7, don’t waste your money.

After the fizzle out of the Boss Ge-6 then came the Boss GE-7. This is higher performing pedal anyway. So they discontinued Boss GE-6 was a moot point. This one featured a an extra frequency of 6.4khz and also a level or volume control slider. Like the previous pedal this one would increase or decrease the volume of what ever frequency by 15 db. This give you a lot of range to dial in the tone you are looking for. In addition the level knob would allow you to put the volume at the exact same level as when the pedal is engaged or disengaged. This would allow you to get the tone you want without a volume shift. Then you could use the level slider to increase in volume if you wanted to use the pedal as a solo boost. You can boost the levels you want for leads and have a nice volume increase to cut through the mix properly.

SOUND QUALITY

This is a great pedal that took the Boss Ge-6's place and has remained the Boss Eq pedal since 1981. Not much has changed since then other than a few components and a PSA adapter as well as the plant moving from Japan to Taiwan.

I prefer this pedal over the Boss GE-6 because of the extra parameters of control ability. You get the extra frequency of 6.4 as well as the level control. This pedal will give you some gain addition to your overdriven sound so if you need some extra uumph then this is a great pedal to have. This pedal go well with a overdriven amp that needs to dial in certain frequencies that are missing. Like most Marshall's need a boost in the low end. usually the first thing you do when dialing in a JCM 800 is crank the bass. This will get you that low end and a little extra sizzle on the tone with the level increase.

OVERALL OPINION

AT new these pedals come in right at around $100. You can find them for cheaper but this is usually the going rate for this pedal. This is a must have for someone needing to tailor their tone a little more. If you are lacking or have too much of something then this pedal will take care of that for you in a snap. I would recommend this to anyone who needs to boost their amp for certain frequency responses.

The Boss GE-7 was one of the first pedal equalizers to come into the market. It features a seven band EQ with a +/- 15dB adjustment and and output level slider. Those wanting to shape the tone of their amplifier will want to try a pedal like this in the loop. If you're looking for a very clean and shapeable boost pedal, the GE-7 can help with that as well.

UTILIZATION

All Boss pedals are extremely well built and durable. They can take a lot of abuse, and you don't have to worry about breaking them. The sliders feel very nice and tactical, and the switch feels like every other Boss pedal. The biggest issue with this is the high noise ratio. For some reason, these pedals are extremely noisy compared to other equalizers on the market today. It could just be the dated circuit; I'm not sure. No clue how the manual is because I never really bothered reading it.

SOUND QUALITY

As stated above, the main issue with this is the noise. If you can get past that, this can be an extremely versatile pedal. If you use it in the loop, you can adjust the frequencies to sculpt whatever tone you have in your head. It can drastically change the tone of an amp. If you're looking for an alternative to an overdrive pedal, max out the output slider; you'll slam the amp with +15dB of clean boost goodness. This works quite nice on Mesa Boogie Rectifiers.

OVERALL OPINION

Given how much noise there is with these pedals, I can't really recommend them. In fact, Danelectro has a pedal that's just like this. It's not quite as sturdy, but the price is right, it's dead quiet and it doesn't suck tone. If you're in the market for an EQ pedal, I really think you'd be better off with the Danelectro pedal.

7-band equalizer is a non-editable, non-rack mountable, standard analog connectivity!

UTILIZATION

Settings are ultra simple, we must go on molo because some settings may show synthetic!
the manual is a bit light but good!
the presentation is when she has impeccable (BOSS obliges!)

SOUND QUALITY

equalizer is effective and realistic! more, you get a boost with the volume pedal, a mordant significant is added!!
I play with JACKSON DX10D equipped DIMARZIO PAF Pro and Super Distortion!
I prefer this pedal is the easy adjustment and boost this gives to the sound of the rage!
what I like least is the spirit that has long appeared to wear!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 6 months and I never shuts down more!
this is my first equalizer and I did not tried other ais
Report qual price is right and I would buy without problems !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Boss pedals GE7

UTILIZATION

My config:

Gibson Les Paul Classic with humbuckers mounted "The Mule" Bare Knuckles.
Amp: Marshall Combo blue 30th anniversary mounted Helectro Harmonix EL34

My boss is modded GE7: Snipper blue LED mod

Her in the loop of the loop amplifier. So this pedal

SOUND QUALITY

changed my life. I also have a wah (Dunlop classic, boss sd1 mod808 ca ...), but there was a vamp. I have not tried the mxr and I am sure that they also provide.
But the boss modded however, allowed me to find a huge range of sounds on my marshall. It's simple, the marshall was a "little bit soft and fuzzy" and suddenly I could have his very JCM800, hoarse and sharp. Channel 2 C mode on this amp, very low gain, I get ze sound AC / DC, while before the sound was less precise with more "shhhht around a bit and monistic grain.
In his clear, that the Bosst sound like a Bosst Xotic style. More clapping, more bass, and its recovery. Channel 3 Finally, I arrive at the modern sound with this pedal less mushy.
The marshall is also a good base, but three quarters of Marshall, in contrast to line 6 and others, need to be corrected by pedals to find his sound. Boss GE7 and does his job!

It allowed me to cut my sound and it's really the pedal which I do not part with.
The mod allows for a more crystalline with less breath. The breath is very very light in this mod, and the breath she did and better than no breath. For the breath sound!

OVERALL OPINION

Excellent pedal. MUST be an equalizer in a set of pedals! From the ball

The Boss GE-7 is an analog seven band equalizer that is specifically made for the guitar. The seven frequency bands are fixed to frequencies that are important when it comes to guitar and has the ability to either cut or boost 15 db for each. It is powered by either a nine volt battery or a nine volt battery and is not rackable as it is a stomp box. It has a 1/4 inch input for your guitar and a 1/4 inch output for your amp as well.

UTILIZATION

The configuration of the GE-7 is about as basic as it gets. It simply has sliders that control the seven frequency bands and also has a slider for the overall output level. I don't have a manual for this, but it is easy enough to use that you shouldn't need it.

SOUND QUALITY

The equalization on the GE-7 is clean sounding and the pedal won't add noise or color your sound. It is nice to have the preset frequency bands in the right places, but I usually prefer having control over what frequencies I control, which is why I usually tend to use parametric EQs. If you feel that you need an external EQ other than what you control on your amp, this will definitely do the trick.

OVERALL OPINION

I got the Boss GE-7 for about four years ago and since have sold it because I decided I didn't need any sort of EQ pedal. I didn't sell it because it wasn't effective, I just didn't use it enough to warrant having it around. The pedal is clean and easy to use and if you are looking to get an EQ in terms of a guitar foot pedal, this is absolutely worth a try. Boss is known for making some great pedals and this is no exception to the rule.

This is simply a 7 band equalizer in stomp box skin.
I believe it is all analog.
No, no editing through pc, just 8 mini faders
This is only audio 1/4" connections
and it is not rackable in the traditional sense.

UTILIZATION

Setup is simple, plug your instrument in one end, the amp on the other and there you go. The sound editing is as simple as bending over and adjusting one of 8 faders. I have never consulted the manual, and never plan to. There is really nothing else to know.

SOUND QUALITY

The EQ is pretty good. Its a little noisy, but thats kinda the deal with boss anyways. If you are really serious about EQ, you need a rackmountable, multiband equalizer. I use this on a Rhodes piano, and my Parker guitar. Works pretty good in getting some lows out and boosting highs to cut through the rest of the band for soloing. Works best after a distortion pedal to reduce the "mud." Like I said before, its a little noisy, I would never use it in a recording session, but in a live setting, no one would ever notice.

OVERALL OPINION

I have been using this for three years. I like its easy portability (its so small). I dislike the hiss you get when you boost the highs. This is really the only stomp box EQ I have ever tried. The prices for this pedal are decent. Its worth it if you need a clearer, brighter tone, or if you won't more low end say on a solo. Yeah, I would buy it again, its just so darn easy to use.
