harsh and unmusical
the mxr 10 band is vastly superior to the boss GE7 just because it has 10 bands... but that's all I can say for it... I find the shape of the EQ to be harsh and unmusical when boosting and the frequencies, while apparently selected to be guitar-centric, are still the wrong ones. If your choice is between the GE7 and this and you just have to EQ your tone before the amp? get this I guess... but really look at a more studio/sound reinforcement oriented graphic. This one has a bad noise floor and fucked up frequencies selected. Guys need to look at the mid frequencies Neve gave you on the mid band of his EQs and go from there when designing a graphic for guitar. They're the right bands during mix downa nd they're going to be the right ones in front of an amplifier too.
The perfect EQ for my pedal rig
Simple, effective and affordable. The trifecta!
good eq
I bought this as I want to eradicate having a rack so it replaces the boss rack eq
This EQ is a must for guitarists
Place it in front for lead tones or in the loop for solos and it will shape your sound even better
THE tone machine
Forget most of effects pedals to get something you can get with an EQ !!! That's all i have to say ;)
Left On, Helpful
Great for use on garbage sounding guitars and amps. Quite a bit of range on it, which is good when switching out amps all the time. I have the newer silver version now. Best Use for Me: Cranking the gain section and running it into my Ampeg Reverberocket II. Really nice drive tone.
Best for making darker, more bass heavy sounds
Although the high end is too distant, the lower bands fairly accurately mimic the sound of a darker guitar.
Mid-pusher
Used to boost the mids in the Fender PA-100 in order to get it to break up at a more reasonable volume.
Great quality but I need more bands
Its a 10 band but a 10 band over 30 to 16k. The BOSS EQ is 7 bands but over a smaller spectrum and that I find more useful. If you're gonna this much of the spectrum you need like 30 bands. I wish someone would make a 30 band EQ. Manufacturers get on it.
The M108S is a newer version of the 10-band EQ that will do exactly the same as the older version, but with added stereo output.
Fine Tune EQ
When looking for an EQ Pedal, I wanted one that a lot of frequency options so I could really get down to it and dial into the EQ I want and need. With 10 frequencies, you can really get down to it and get some exact EQ preference which is really useful. Especially when you play so many genres and styles like me. I'll tell, the pop-punk and r&b that I play require 2 VERY different EQ settings and I'm happy to be able to have them set easy.
