This review is not for a Ibanez GE-601 but for a Ibanez GEL model. I have been looking for one of these 1980's Ibanez Graphic Equalizer GEL for sometime now at a good value! This pedal made my amp sound so much better. This one will give you 15db instead of 12db which other pedals only offer. I connected it to my 1979 Westbury 1X12" Jazz Combo amp and noticed the difference right away. Now the added EQ made the amp sound quality so much better! I recommend anyone that is looking to upgrade their sound to get one of these Ibanez GE-601 pedal for better sound quality! The first photo is my purchase with a low 4 digit serial numbers and the other 2 are newer from the same era. Take it from over 48 years experience guitarist that has tried almost everything. Sincerely, SammyC.

This is specifically about the older Ibanez GE-601 with a square footswitch. This pedal was made by Japanese effects company Maxon and was made in the late '70s to early '80s before the model GE-9 replaced it. The GE-601 is a simple 6 band graphic eq. It covers 5 octaves of frequency starting 100 Hz,200 Hz, 400 Hz, 800 Hz, 1.6 kHz & 3.2 kHz. Each band has its own slider that can boost or cut by 12 dB. The pedal also has an overall output level slider that is +/- 12 dB. The eq can fix feedback problems with an amplified acoustic, but it really shines as a clean boosting pedal at the end of an effects chain. The pedal has an amazing clarity that drives a tube amp just perfectly. I personally use it with a bit of low end & top end boost with the output slider at +6-9 dB for signal boost. The GE-601 gives a bit extra oomph that cuts through when soloing. A really well designed pedal that offers some other colors to your fuzz & dirt boxes. I would buy another in a heartbeat as a backup.Read full review
