Artec SE-EQ8 Graphic EQ 3-stars Reviews

A cheap EQ

It does what you expect.

Rant: The rubber sliders are faling off, and obviously are therefore getting lost. What remains are tiny metal sliders that stick out. Well i got what i paid for.

Middle of the road

It doesn't seem to be all that responsive but it does what you want to an extent.

The slider knobs come off way too easily. One was actually completely off the slider.

It does also produce quite a bit of noise too. Nothing that can't be remedied by using a noise gate but still a bit of an annoyance.

The casing seems quite sturdy and the pedal works fine.

Good but can be better

The switch button have really chip filling

Cheap

A bit to simple and cheap. both sound and build wise... get something else instead

Okey for the price

Decen't good sound but the slider are very loose and you keep losing the little knobs on them.

Pro's - cheap, and good sound

con's - weak knobs, weak plastic and a stripped screw fell out of the underside of the pedal.

Prone to clipping

Box, switch and sliders feel fairly sturdy. Would have liked to see a stronger center detent in the middle posistion of each slider.

Sliders are hard to read on a dark stage, this makes it a little useless to EQ out room resonance on the stage and more suited to boost an amp or drive pedal with preset settings.

Works fine for scooping out frequencies after a drive pedal but is prone to clipping when driven too hard by a pedal before it.

Not so good!!!

This pedal was a bit of a disappointment for me. I didn't really like the finish of the plastic casing, and it was a little rough around the edges, although on a dark stage this will not really matter. Also the sliders did not all move with the same feel - some were easily moved while others offered a little more resistance. This could be a problem if you tend to set-and-forget as the sliders could move between gigs.

On the plus side, the pedal does what it is supposed to do and has a good sound with little noise. There are eight bands as opposed to the usual seven and the level control provides a useful boost facility. For the money it's probably worth it if you can ignore the small faults.
