Great sound on a tight budget

They kept the price down with a plastic chassis, the slider knobs are lose-able and i wouldnt want to tread on them by mistake for fear of breaking them, but the sound is noise free, the eq bands are well defined for excellent tone shaping and there's plenty of gain available. I'm using it as a solo boost for a touch more presence and it's spot on. Bargain.

useful

I got 2 of these to top and tail my guitar chain. Bit hissy. Good though for the money.

You get what you pay for

Upon opening, I noticed that it is extremely lightweight and there is certainly a cheap feeling. The entire build is made up of plastic except for the electrical components and footswitch, which are decent. Some of the sliders have more resistance than others, but other than that this pedal is by all means usable.

The EQ itself is subtle but not non-existent, and gets the job done. You get what you pay for. There are better pedals out there - but at the price of €38, this is a solid option for someone looking to start building their pedalboard.

Not a bad product

considering the cheap price I expected a bad sound but is not. I'm satisfied about the product.

Buon EQ8

Fa il suo lavoro! Ha un buon boost sul volume attraverso il fader dedicato e lavora bene sull'eq.

Unica pecca è lo switch che ha bisogno di troppa pressione e deve essere ben premuto fino alla fine della corsa perchè si attivi/disattivi

good eq pedal for cheap

Good EQ pedal for a cheap price

EQ controls are sensitive and can be adjusted well to add more bass, treble, mids, or a combination. It can even be used as a boost. Level controls are hard to move which is a good thing as too adjustable levers always move accidentally. Comes with a 9V battery. When huge amounts of modifications are added, the sound gets a little muffled, which is not uncommon for EQ pedals in this price range. Overall a great buy for your first EQ pedal for little money and battery taking capability.

Great Sound

Not often you see an 8 band Graphic EQ, but it works very well in this case. It gives you options to control your bass, mid and treble that you amp just wont allow you

Good value graphic equalizer pedal

I bought this equalizer pedal for guitar (but I tried it with bass and it did the job just fine) because it did cost much less than other similar pedals, it's true bypass, and also because I liked the frequency bands it has MORE than those of other more expensive pedals. It worked for me without problems...What could you ask more from it? Just great I'd say

Very good finish

Good price, great finish and utility. This kind of pedal is very important when you have more than 2 or 3 pedals.

The only cons is that the foot switch is a little bit noisy (clit clit a bit annoying) when you push it. But, in general, the product is is very useful.

very good value for money

I mainly use this as an insert effect when I master cassette tape recordings to minimise hiss and boost some of the higher frequencies lost from ping-ponging. It does the job well, with the 5k being pretty spot on for hiss reduction, and the lower high frequencies being pretty spot on for the lost frequencies.

Feels very solid, and great value for money.

Good EQ-pedal

This pedal does its' job well. You can easily dial your tone using it. I bought it because I recently got a Blackstar HT-1, which has no EQ settings. It works great and can be used both for clean as well as driven tones!

A must have!

This little box allows you to shape your tone with it's handy sliders.

Sound coloration is very little and it remains very dynamic and transparant when engaged.

Freq's can be actively boosted or suppressed and an overal signal-boost/cut is also there. Works over the entire useable freq.-spectrum.

Does the job of many, much more expensive, other EQ's.

Great stuff, must have.

Review - Artec SE-EQ8 Graphic EQ

Cheap and cheerful EQ pedal works perfect. So far I have used it on acoustic guitars, a banjo and some electric guitars and all have worked out well sound wise. Fine, sturdy EQ that is great value for money considering the cost of other pedals out there that I can't hear a difference in.
