6 analog equalizer bands in a solid classical case, in short the MXR.

UTILIZATION

Very simple settings, everyone knows how this type of pedal.
Manuel minimalist but useless.

SOUND QUALITY

As always with MXR, this pedal has a charming personality. EQ are many and I have not heard two that sound identical. Nothing out of the ordinary for this since the frequencies on which to intervene differ from one brand to another or, at least, are calibrated differently. This is the world of pedals like the amplifiers, with settings more or less effective, progressive and transparent. The small MXR suits me perfectly and I find not only effective and versatile but thought regarding the frequencies on which it acts. 6 strips are sufficient for me and allow so many settings I've never felt the need for more. For a 6-string guitar, in any case, I do not see the point.
The sound quality is there, provided mas-what more natural - to avoid extreme upper positions. As in the treble, it inevitably brings breath and low loss of definition and firmness. I use this pedal mostly in the loop of my Blackstar head in his clear, not be limited by the lack of tone controls (clear channel with a single knob "Tone"). 6 Bands EQ This also allows me to shine my head Marshall Class 5 that at low volume sounds a bit dull. Except to seek a radical tone, I do not use it with my Hot Rod Deluxe.

OVERALL OPINION

I have this effect for a little over two years and enjoy it. It allows real corrections without coloring the sound base. Moreover, this transparency is a high quality and brand personality. If I had to emphasize a particular point, I would say it is particularly comfortable for everything related to the frequencies of mediums. Unlike other models, the act of raising the level of these frequencies with the MXR never gives a negatively colored or unbalanced result.
A pedal correction can sometimes be useful and often required!
