All user reviews for the Boss GE-7 Equalizer

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!

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.
