Boss GE-7 7-band EQ Pedal

This is a high quality EQ/Boost. Very sensitive to the touch, but sounds amazing. If you don't have one of these on your board.... get one. If you play rock.... slightly give it a boost, and your already overdriven amp will sound so good, so beefy... THUMPS.And you shape the tone. 7 bands is enough.It may take the place of any helper drive pedals. You'll see.

You need one of these to make your guitar tone fit within the entire band. For example, cut the super highs so you are not competing with the cymbals and cut the very low so as not to interfere with the bass player.It is also great as just a boost pedal when your lead comes up.

Boss pedals are built like tanks. Solid metal enclosures and well built. My unit has no hiss or noise when on. I use it as a clean boost for acoustic solos in a bluegrass band - I leave all faders at unity (0) and add a touch of volume (it has a lot) and it works great. Many recommended this use for the pedal and I'm pleased with the result. May be overkill, but from what I've read, many "clean boost" pedals inject some gain into the signal - this (when EQd flat) does not. That said, this pedal CAN produce some very cool distortion, drive and other sounds for electric guitar if tweaked for it (lots of good YT videos if interested). Finally, while my DI has EQ that I use, this pedal can also substitute more than adequately if necessary. Very satisfied and highly recommend.

Became my golden pedal in my board. Bought another one, to use as booster. Very easy to use.

This pedal does a great job EQ’ing your signal. It very clean, and does not have the hiss other reviews talk about. Very useful as a volume boost or cut.

Very good quality easy to use

This is a very useful tool. I think a lot of the people reviewing this online, and especially on YouTube, are a little confused as to how it should be applied. A common complaint seems to be that this pedal adds noise to your signal. A lot of the players with this complaint are cranking one or more of the frequencies way above the median or are pushing the level slider up high "push the front of their amp." What are they expecting to happen?The more effective way to use this pedal is to CUT the frequencies that you don't want, and then use the level slider to compensate if you feel like that leaves a noticeable drop in overall volume. If you have a humbucker that is too muddy, cut some of the low frequencies. If you have a single coil that is too harsh, roll off the 3.2k and a little of the 6.4k. If you want either type of pickup to sound a bit punchier, you can add in a little mid range, but be judicious about it. Suddenly you'll find that you are finally hearing that sound you had in your head all along. This pedal might not have the curb appeal that some of the boutique special effects pedals do, but it can play a critical role in your signal chain once you learn how to dial in the right sounds.
