BOSS Ge-7 7-Band Eq Pedal, Compact Eq Pedal with 7 Bands of Adjustable Eq Sliders

Product Information

The Boss GE-7 equaliser pedal features seven band EQ so you can boost and from 100Hz to 6.4kHz, there’s also a slider for you to adjust your overall level for further control over your sound. Even though Boss GE-7 isn't really that cheap, it's still punching above its price range with a lot of headroom to spare. Those looking for a simple graphic EQ are going to love this capable little white box. BOSS’s colourful stomp boxes are the most recognisable pedal range in existence. For over 40 years, guitarists from bedrooms to stadiums have put their boot down on a BOSS effect to transform their sound. Several models have passed into guitar legend and early examples can fetch extremely high prices. Happily, BOSS have maintained their stellar reputation for world-class effects in bomb-proof casing with their current range and have fended off the imitators for decades to remain the pre-eminent single pedal effects manufacturer in the business. If there’s an effect for guitar (or bass, vocals, keys…be creative!) then you can bet BOSS have a pedal of it in their range or even invented it outright! Every guitar player should get to experience the joy of selecting a pedal from BOSS’s exhaustive roster, plugging it in and unleashing their wildest sonic dreams.

The GE-7 is a real working man's EQ that brings just what you need to get the job done, and none of those pesky options which are not often used in many cases, and are more distracting than anything else. To its defense, some of the best guitar effects pedals are often times simple in nature. The Boss GE-7 Equalizer pedal is a great, compact EQ pedal with seven bands of adjustable equaliser sliders. A frequency range of 100 Hz to 6.47 kHz has been divided into seven bands for you to cut and boost to really shape your guitar tone with the Boss GE-7 Graphic Equalizer pedal. Reliability really can be affordable to all. Boss are so sure their compact pedals last the test of time,they cover them with a full five year warranty. Specifications If you're someone who plays through different amps, the GE-7 allows you to adjust your sound at the end without having to completely change the rest of your pedal settings. You can also place the GE-7 in the effects loop of an amplifier to give finer control over its tone. This is especially useful for single-tone control amplifiers that do not offer dedicated bass, mid, and treble controls. If you use two different guitars during a set with the same pedal board, you can put the GE-7 at the start to equalise their output levels.

You could say it's the patron saint of guitar player everywhere around the world. The one we'd like to introduce you to today is their EQ unit that goes under the name of Boss GE-7.

In the loop.... the Danelectro 7 band fish & chips is the quietest EQ pedal I have used, and it sounds good for that purpose, just making minor adjustments from the loop. Sounds good, quiet and cheap. Only problem is it goes through batteries faster than anything I have used, so a 9v adaptor is a must. The MXR is the perfect boost. It tightens the tone, and adds gain but without congesting and compressing the tone like a overdrive can. It's my fav boost. I still use my Maxon od808, Boss sd-1, and even my metal zone for that purpose, but the MXR 6 band is the best of the bunch and gets the most use from me. The 10 band is also really good, but doesn't sound quite as tight as the 6 band, which is just more focused in it's tone.Lots of guitarists underestimate the power they can hold with a simple graphic EQ pedal like this GE-7. Boosting for solos, cutting out problem frequencies, reshaping the natural sound of the guitar (i.e. cutting away the bottom end of an LP or boosting the lower mids of an S-type): there are loads of powerful ways you can take advantage of an EQ pedal! If you are using the pedal as a boost in front of the amp? get the MXR. They sound better than any other EQ pedal for that purpose and I have tried them all. The MXR 6 band in particular sounds really good, it has all the right frequencies... 100, 200, 400, 800, 1.6k, 3.2k... These figures will vary depending on the actual conditions of use. Accessories Leaflet ("USING THE UNIT SAFELY,""IMPORTANT NOTES," and "Information")

There's a rather extensive list of musicians who will have one of these Boss stompboxes on their pedalboard, even though you could say their tones are a bit more specific. One name that comes to mind is John Mayer. Affordable EQ pedals are not always that great, that is for sure. This somewhat robust design offers a great performance that has been tried and tested numerous times by now. The bands available are pretty versatile even for more aggressive genres of music, while they work flawlessly when you need to shape the tone of an acoustic electric guitar. While the sound man might be great, relying on him to reset your EQon demand is not going to work. An EQ pedal allows you to get that boost you need when you need it and it's so easy to use you can fine tune your tone in less time than it takes the drummer to count you in. Renowned Boss build qualityI would strongly recommend this unit to any guitarist playing in a band, especially if there are other midrange focused instruments. What works for me is : cut off 100HZ, slightly cut 200HZ, slightly boost 400HZ, slightly cut 800HZ, slightly boost 1KHZ, 3.2KHZ at unity or slightly below, 6,4HZ is basically the presence, so I adjust it depending on the amp and the context.

AC adaptor (PSA series: sold separately) Current Draw 30 mA Expected battery life under continuous use Carbon: Approx. 9 hours Another boss-babe who has made a career on countless professional pedalboards. 7 frequency bands, which are tailored to the needs of guitarists, make it possible to fine-tune the sound. If you want to filter out the centre of clean sounds, or you need more singing mids in the lead channel, everything is possible. With the 100 Hz control, even a bit more steam in the bass can be added to a combo without drowning out everything at the same. With the level control, a boost / attenuation of +/- 15 dB is possible, so the GE7 is also ideally suited to boost a tube amp without falsifying the fundamental sound.Carbon-zinc battery (9 V, 6F22) Options (sold separately) AC adaptor: PSA series Size and Weight Width 73 mm
