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

Product Information

You should get an instant answer on whether your application has been successful, though in some rare cases Klarna or V12 may need to look at the application in more detail. I chose this equalizer after reading opinions on forums. I was looking for a affordable, simple yet effective equalizer, with a good build quality. 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 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.

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. The GE-7 proved really effective at the task. Basically I use it only to make my tone sit nicely in the mix on rehearsals or gigs. I don't use it at home, because what I'm trying to do is to sound as good as home in a band context. I don't use it to create special sounds or to make my amp sound like another one, though it can certainly do that. this is where the 'body' of the sound comes from. Some snares will have their overtones in this area, and it can overwhelm their 'snap', which generally sits somewhere in the 'bite' frequencies.As always, however, don't be overwhelmed by the visual cues - your ears should always be your guide for what sounds good in a guitar tone, or either a live or studio full-band mix. 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. Boss has always been that go-to brand when it comes to decent guitar effects that will get the job done. 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.

The Boss GE-7 Equalizer pedal is a great, compact EQ pedal with seven bands of adjustable equaliser sliders. one of the most valuable mixing tips we've ever been told is that this is the rough area that gives a bass guitar 'beef'. By carefully changing the EQ of bass and guitars around this point, you can alter the balance of the two instruments so that they gel together better in a mix. Crunch: a less compressed and more open distorted mid sound often gives a gravelly, 'crunchy' sound. It's notable that even some scooped Big Muffs like the Ram's Head can get 'crunchy', which tells us it's probably more to do with the character of the low mids and upper mids either side of the notch. Finally, we've alluded often to the fundamental note. Especially with guitar, the majority of its unique timbre is as a result of the mix of a fundamental note and its overtones - although this is true of all instruments. If you use a particular tuning or often write in a specific key, then working out what the frequency of a note is allows you to EQ around the impact of that note. Not only that, but you can then calculate overtones.

As we have mentioned before, this is a 7 band graphic EQ. The top part of the pedal is where you will find the corresponding sliders. In addition to the seven bands available, you also have a master level slider to work with. The boost and cut capability is operating within the -15dB to 15dB range. That might not be the most powerful boost you can find, but it's more than enough for most applications. The sliders are rather precise and tactile. You can easily adjust them on the fly, even in conditions with low light. Performance 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. SpecificationsIn 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. Bite: a rule of thumb for bite is around 2-10kHz, but crucially, you'll know it when you hear it. Get a distorted Peavey 6505+ in a mix, and remove all the bass and low mids - all that will be left is the bite. I started using it when I realised that the beautiful tones I got from my guitars, amps and pedals at home had a tendency to get drowned when playing with my band.

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. 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. Okay, so those are the glossary terms, but what can we hear in the actual mix at which frequency, and why is it important? It's worth remembering that where other instruments and elements sit is important. The guitar has such a wide range that unless you're playing completely solo, how much bandwidth you have in each range will determine how impactful your playing is to the listener.Whether or not it's capable of competing with more refined boutique models depends on how demanding you are, and how capable you are at recognizing subtleties in terms of tone. This isn't to say that it's a crude tool, but rather a more robust solution for those who are operating on a tighter budget. It didn't take long before Boss GE-7 became one of the most popular EQ pedals to date. 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...
