10 Band Equalizer Silver : Killer sound and blinding lights

I love this thing. It's fantastic. It gives you a ton of control over the sound and doubles as a volume/gain boost. It's sturdily built and the switch is solid and the sliders have a good feel to them.

My only gripes are:

1. It runs on 18v power (adapter included, but would have liked 12 or 9v as its more common in power supplies)

2. The LEDs are ABSOLUTELY BLINDING. I cannot emphasize this enough. This thing will light up in blue a dark room. If you are playing in a dark environment and look down at this thing it will blind you. I can't see my pedalboard when looking at it. Even when turned off, the volume and gain ones are STILL ON. It is infuriating.

Note: There's a hack of taking out the LEDs and putting them in backwards (don't do this while the device is powered) to make them not light up anymore, but then you can't tell when it's on anymore. I'll probably put black marker on them at some point.

To summarize, love the sound and quality, but dislike the 18v and HATE the LEDs. Still not taking it off my pedalboard, though.
