All user reviews for the MXR M108 10-Band Graphic EQ

There is no true bypass ....... Rhhhh ... But it's understandable because the ignition effect would mean too ...

UTILIZATION

Simple and effective

SOUND QUALITY

I blame this pedal clearly not be "enough" transparent.

There is no true-bypass, which means that there is an impedance remains ... And that in practice "eats" the presence / attack your hip ... (REM: If your hip is not very dynamic, the question does not arise ...)

Well, it remains VERY reasonable, if you already have long cables and a few pedals ... But for those who want to keep a more refined configuration and just slightly change the color of his ... Ben go your way.

* If you are in a trip "sculpting his" before or after a ton of pedal / preamp ... It's nickel

* If you are in a trip "Guitar-tube amp and that's it" and that you just desires elsewhere ... Should another guitar or another amp ... (This is stupid why I did not think of this before?)

OVERALL OPINION

I kept a weekend and resold. But I'm sure this pedal will full of happy ... There are a few years with my old Washburn, my Marshall Valvestate and my BOSS ... it was nickel ...

This very robust pedal (pretty heavy for that matter) is an ultra efficient equalizer 10 bands to plug in the loop of the amp.

There must be a power supply. or an external battery.

1 input / 1 output

UTILIZATION

If this pedal is easy to use by default, the movement of a cursor frequencies of a few millimeters is felt immediately, so it can be quite tricky to find his favorite settings.

For my part I used to adjust my sound depending on location and configurations in which I play, therefore it is essential to me.

This pedal is also equipped with a volume slider and gain, so it can also serve as a boost to play lead.

SOUND QUALITY

Transparent, highly accurate, short ... no default for me!

OVERALL OPINION

Very good quality / price ratio, to buy eyes closed.

Everything is already said in the foregoing opinion.
I find it a little weak on electronics I had two and the first two months I was doing ... problem of switch

UTILIZATION

More than a single config! Flexible band 10 12 -12 to change more than sensitive! sound radio 3 band decreased and HOP! a metal sound: we lower the medium and low it goes and we thing HELL! and desuite!

The manual us ... we get crazy ... ^ ^ It is so easy to manage that it's just nice to have their hand made one. but useless ... ^ ^

SOUND QUALITY

Me personally I put it in FX loop on my amp LABOGA MR HECTOR. I play metal, the amp is already monstrous him even in this area but manquai me a little I do not know what ... beh ... so I decided to call my pedal MXR "je ne sais quoi" a modulated sound just tailor-made for me! playing with the equa amp, and that of the pedal ... we do what we want as his! no need to pedal MT 2 or HT DUAL placebo or other ... this pedal simply exploits the over drive or distortion or any other sound you want your amp without any worries!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 6 months and it is madness! so that the 2nd guitarist in my group bought it live!

I just wish a memory system with mechanical preset SEVERAL history ca change during the game! LA ... CA'LL JUST .... I have no words ...

The quality / price ratio become increasingly interesting both new and occas I got mine to 106 euro baxshop thanks to an offer of 10% discount so the base price of 119 euros so well loins of 135 or 140 of the era ... frenchement get there with your eyes closed!

Purely analog (+). 1O strips (+).

Jack connectors 6.35 standard. IN and OUT.

Power supply.

UTILIZATION

1O strips (+). Adjusting volume and gain (+).

Extremely sensitive knobs. Guaranteed result.

Good quality metal and durable. Supports repeat, concerts, studio.


No need to book.

One adjustment (analog).

SOUND QUALITY

Very transparent does not alter the original sound.

Adds gain and behave like a tube screamer.

Used with my 7 string Universe sometimes toothless. On SS20 stonehead or to make the sound more ... personnel.

OVERALL OPINION

Use long enough: no problem. Made rehearsals but not together.

Value for money: very good.

-: One set ...

Choice again without hesitation.

pedal bought on a whim cheap on ebay
10 band equalizer with level input and output, c is simple and very effective
provided with some equalizer patterns depending on the style wanting to be played

UTILIZATION

very easy to use, plug and it works right away, that we test all possible combinations to have some fun before we really look for what interests us

SOUND QUALITY

I plug in my effect loop ENGL Powerball
it has an advantage, if I want to play at low volume to very low, c is quite possible, reducing the output power at least I can leave the level of the preamp and power amp 5 / 10 or more, so I keep the good momentum of the lamps and the sound is very good
more this pedal is very neutral, if you do not touch anything then you will not see a difference if it is switched on or not
not need to move all the buttons in all directions, and a slight change immediately audible
it can transform your small distortion in the bombing, or snapping your sounds clear in gentle cuddles

OVERALL OPINION

j have long believed that c was useless this kind of pedal, for I had enough control in the amp and guitar effects
ft and on a whim I took a m ​​am, what a great idea! and how effectively the effects loop, it really transforms radically or even just the sound it makes minor key while shade

I advise before you buy new or amp distortion more expensive, it can be a good source of economy
and I also recommend it to anyone who is constantly looking SOUND

Very basic 10 band EQ. 1/4 in and output, on/off switch 18v dc adapter jack, can't run on batteries. Here's the frequencies it controls:

volume (input)
31.25hz
62.5hz
125hz
250hz
500hz
1khz
2khz
4khz
8khz
16khz
gain (output)

UTILIZATION

Easy to set up. Either in front of the amp and it changes the guitar tone, or in the effects loop of the amp and it controls the entire signal chains (much more dramatic difference). Simple cut or boost controls. Plug it in, set the volume controls to where it's highest without them blinking (if they blink the levels are too high and it's distorting). From there just start boosting or cutting the frequencies until you like how it sounds. A basic understanding is the lower 3 are bass and control how much low end you have in your tone. Too much and it gets muddy and starts farting out, too little and it's too bright and can be painful to hear. Next 4 are mids, they control the definition as well as the perceived "size" of your tone. Cutting gives you more definition but takes away volume and thickness/size. Boosting gives you a much fuller and bigger tone but loses definition. Metal music generally cuts the mids slightly to give definition but not too much to where it sounds thin. The last 3 are the treble frequencies. They control the high end or brightness. Boost too much and it can sound ice picky (painfully bright), cut too much and it can sound dull and too bassy.

Cutting the mids will also be boosting the bass and treble simultaneously, boosting mids will be cutting bass and treble. Same goes for boosting and cutting bass, and boosting and cutting treble. The overall goal is to find a nice happy medium where nothing is too bright or bassy and the right amount of size and definition for the style of music you are playing.

SOUND QUALITY

Nothing really to say about the sound quality, it's just an EQ. Made to boost of cut frequencies to help tailor you tone.

OVERALL OPINION

There's a reason this is the most common EQ pedal. It's been used from Randy Rhoads (he used the old blue vintage one) all the way to Machine Head. It's very tweakable and very rugged. Build like a tank so it can take a beating and keep on working. I'd recommend this to anyone wanting to further tailor their sound beyond what their amp can do.

All been said. 10 band EQ. Gain and volume. Jack In, Jack out. This is the MXR, is solid and made to last a lifetime. 18v power supply.

UTILIZATION

Simpler, you die! up / down faders. Super efficient and intuitive. The Fader Gain and Volume are true that can more effectively manage the level. thanks to them, the following effects in your chain does not saturate the input (particularly useful with an MXR Phase 90, which is sensitive to the entry level!)

SOUND QUALITY

Next sound is great, super efficient and intuitive. frequencies are well chosen. Noise not excessive. I do not remember if it makes a "plop" when the Inrush. She has a good gain of 12db which is more than enough. It may well be a Boost.

OVERALL OPINION

A simple quick review of my experience show you.

Bought on a whim, the M108 me at first seem very little use. but now with it dragging on my pedalboard, I tried beacoup of settings and with great instrument. is to use force as this pedal I need now! I use it mainly with synths but with Guitar / Bass and drum machines. It provides for each of these instruments. In addition it has a great look with the red leds! Done wonders for the bass booster on a synth or a battery or so to shape the sound of your guitar in your clean or distortion.

The EQ is really an effect underestimated. Thanks to him we can "Shappa" our sound. it can literally change the sound of your distortion or you close a particular tone.

to use force, you end up knowing about how often each cheek and faders can provide more or less the sound you get, which really helps to release creative side.

The EQ is an effect that we must take time to understand aprivoisé and then you will not want to do without!

UTILIZATION

Very simple, you come quickly to find her desirable. 10 bands to great possibilities. The sliders are great - lighting, great run, do not move when I carry the pedal - great! Has nothing to do with 7 bands and behringer boss.

SOUND QUALITY

Sound quality is top. I use it with the bass - is the centerpiece of my rig. I often play on the amps that are not mine - so I go anywhere without.

OVERALL OPINION

I love this pedal - I prefer to those of seven bands and behringer boss (this is pretty bad, but for its price). I would do without hesitation if the choice is down.
What I do not ...
Weight, but ...
We hear a little pop in the amp when the triggers - I am going to see the seller, we tested two others - it's the same - he told me that it is due to true bypasses (that has advantages and disadvantages). It bother me - I set my sound in advance and I switch over - 8 as well.

10-band EQ with gain and SETTING THE volume, an inlet and an outlet. MODEL is the same as Kerry King without the signature and the Stereo connection, for a more affordable price.

UTILIZATION

Take the time to find the sound that is sought is not an equalizer amp, but once it has it's happiness. The four examples donns the manual are basic but gives a good idea of ​​the possibilities of bte.

SOUND QUALITY

I use the pedals on a screamer 50 combo for two years, I could not do without. I plugged into the effects loop to sculpt the distortion of my amp, I get the standard, the standards are palm mute and sharp, ideal for the big fat metal.
Thanks to the strip 10 can be removed exactly frquences teachers, in my case some mdiums while emerging in the mix as a group. Frankly, when I disables the pedals, I wondered how I could play with the original sound of my amp before!

OVERALL OPINION

This is really gniale pedals, and has nothing do with the 3 band eq. Can be REALLY awesome sound his own way, in a mtal is perfect for a well powerful, or to bring out a solo. The MXR EQ has become one of my essential lments set, try you will not!

Here, a 10-band qualizer Submitted pedals as a fairly small but well made and built in mtal indestructible ...
I think it is a much more efficient and customizable in rglages GE7 a boss for example. there is a knob gain control input and output volume.
everything is efficient trs

UTILIZATION

Bon ben on it, to look for a bit to find happiness. in the manual there are some settings that are not of dpart Folichon dj but not bad for a base to CRER his sound. I have found mine: believe it or not, with my Mesa / Boogie Subway Rocket (trs apli rput versatile but not specially for the metal), and the pedals in the loop effect, I make myself a Russian trs's had close to Jani Liimatainen (ex guitarist of Sonata Arctica) lives in the first group, especially for low and low m dium (palm mute .... yum!). The pedals can add gain to your amp. it can act as boost in addition equalizer, which is handy.
the knobs are sensitive and trs are a number of possibilities to get a fairly impressive sound with this thing. on the other hand I just galr for rgler mediums (low and high mids), trs is subtle.

SOUND QUALITY

For now I use it with a friend jackson is custom in EMG 81 and 85 but ending for I will use it with my skyscraper personal team which will be in Seymour Duncan ... I will again when I think this will happen.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for only two days this time. I tried a boss GE7 before buying and I am not my choice!
if you want a bigger and pedals to sculpt your sound, go there it's good!

plus the price is right for the quality (135 prs nine a little I think)

UTILIZATION

Trs intuitive

SOUND QUALITY

Exellent

OVERALL OPINION

Any respect CHARACTERISTICS, everything said above ... Before putting it in my effects loop, I had a 2U rack qualizer Dynacord 30 bands settle fairly complicated (too frequency drives). The diffrence is obvious, the sound is cleaner, Defines. Operation is intuitive and trs rglages indicated by the manufacturer is a good basis for his research. Moreover, it is a sober and trs pedals that looks solid trs. Dynacord before, I played live on my Peavey 6505 head. Since I Intgr the qualisation in my effects loop, I wonder how I could play without, and the MXR M108 is the perfect complment to my Peavey 6505 head. I have not tried other qualo, but I cum forums and user reviews, and it always comes out the same thing, this is THE REFERENCE PDAL qualisation in terms of the ground.
Despite its price, if you have the budget (190 in-store and 140 online), go for it.
I do it again if that choice without hsiter never let me go mine tomorrow ...

10-band graphic equalizer, this model there is only one between an output (2 on KFK) and decision 18v power supply.
pedal very solid, heavy, feel the quality.
the switch has a slight play but hey nothing important and then the race of the knobs is really long which allows extensive configuration.

UTILIZATION

I must admit that I have an APRS noon to find what I wanted but your exact is really convincing.
is just a push knobs and the sound changes radically, there are still 10 knobs so has not done in 5 minutes.
the manual is trs summary, it Submitted 4 trs trivial configuration.

SOUND QUALITY

So this thing is trs effective, it allows you to push or cut frquences as you wish, I play on a Marshall JCM 900 amp and I wanted to keep the grain but with more bass fishing ..
You can do much with what you want, I have rediscovered the palm mute, my sound has become more right more prcis.
trs a really good trick I see no point ngatifs

OVERALL OPINION

So I think this was my eq Submitted indispensable, he simply rctifi weaknesses of my jcm.
I do not hsit with other eq is the one that I found most effective.
APRS is less expensive cot Beringher your exact .. but not at all the same.
120th is really right for what it is and that's a lasting investment, not a distortion or one can get tired quickly.

frankly good deal!

edit, APRS over 2 years of use, I remain convinced that it is a lment useful in the long term, are rglages trs purposes, even if you change the amp trs high-end, I think we can always supply a little more, fill a gap in the amp ... trs good investment

All t is, 10 + bands + gain volume, niquel: p

UTILIZATION

Configuration is not more intuitive, has not move when you carry the pedals is niquel.
As against the manual what they really abuse, are 4 pr rglages cans, they could make an effort, they put prfr pubs in the square bote <img class="smiley" src="https://fr.audiofanzine.com/images/audiofanzine/interface/smileys/icon_confused.gif" alt="" />

SOUND QUALITY

Nothing to say, are perfect, the PLOC the pedals when active, but hey we will not make a fuss, it's the best EQ I've ever test I use a Gibson Les Paul Standard and a Marshall Vintage Modern 2466

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a few months, I do it again without hsiter that choice, I find it so heavy that the PDAL has qualitprix report, a little pricey but is well worth the trouble I think.

10-band EQ with adjustable input gain and output level.
Operates in 18V

UTILIZATION

The advantage of the graphic equalizer is that it's easy to see how it works ...

OVERALL OPINION

I wonder about the appropriate use of this pedal for bass.

I used the old Boss GEB7: 7 frequencies, but frequencies nonlinear (unlike this one), chosen in areas hinges own aa bass.
I came across a good opportunity, and amazed by the sound of a previous MXR (the blowtorch), I went to the MXR M108.
Finally, I wonder if it makes it so much compared to the Boss.
It is more convenient than the Boss: The sliders are spaced further apart (the pedal is larger too ...) and lighting casts a max. The Boss is a sad side.
But I wonder if this light does not effect a "psycho" She is pretty, it seems that it will sound better than the Boss.
But in fact, I more trouble to correct my sound with the Boss. And you have to push the sliders far enough to have a correction (the effect "more room to maneuver with 18V" is not obvious)

Or maybe it's me who knows not to use it? I wonder if I will not call my boss a few times to be sure.
