I learned about how useful this pedal can be from "That Pedal Show" - episode titled "Yes You Do Need A Graphic EQ Pedal!" I'm currently using it at the end of my pedal chain to dial out a bit of high-end noise, but watch that episode to learn other ways of using this pedal - e.g. as a volume boost - and where it can be placed in the chain. I took one star away because the pedal has a bit of hiss - but I solved that using a Monte Allums GE-7 plus mod. Pedal is quiet as a mouse now.

Overall, I am very pleased with the Boss GE-7. I use it with a Vox AC30C2 and an Epiphone Les Paul Standard. The GE-7 allows for wonderful control of your guitar's tone and with the addition of the "level" control gives you the ability to use the pedal as a clean boost. This little stomp box can make my "classic rock" AC30 drive right into the more metal-ish zone with scooped mids and boosted highs and lows. On the negative side, the pedal does color your tone a bit. With all of the sliders centered the natural tone of your guitar will be muddied a little. This isn't really a deal breaker to me as the whole idea behind an EQ is to change/enhance the tone by moving the sliders all around. Also, when the highs are boosted the pedal introdices a bit of noise to the signal chain. I understand that there are a few mods out there that will all but eliminate noise from the pedal. Overall, I am very pleased with the pedal. I use it sparingly and it works beautifully to "dial" in the exact tone I am looking for. It plays nice with all of my other pedals and makes a great amp (AC30) sound that much better.Read full review
Great pedal, but it was really noisy. I replaced the op amps with low-noise versions, replaced several capacitors and the power LED. Now it performs very well. This is a must-have pedal. It gave my 1968 Fender Bronco amp some of the midrange it has been missing.

I bought this particular EQ on the advice of a sound man that I work with regularly. I do a lot of gigs as a multi-instrumentalist, and was having issues with feedback and low output coming from my resonator guitar. Per his suggestion, I bought the GE-7 here on eBay and literally used it on a gig the day it arrived - it worked great and resolved both issues with zero "side effects". In addition, the pedal is not expensive or difficult to use - solid build, small footprint and sounds great, what more could you ask for!
