Artec SE-EQ8 Graphic EQ 5-stars Reviews

good quality

good product, good sound, easy to adjust and stable.

Underrated pedal

I have used this in my fx loop to sculpt the sound on a Joyo mini head which has only a tone control. I also use this at the front of the chain with my strat and it beefs the single coil signal up for playing metal.

A great preamp for double bass!

I use this as a preamp for my double bass. It has a 1 MOhm piezo-friendly input impedance and the bands are centered pretty close to those of the GK 800RB eq section. I play in one pretty loud band that does mostly roots/country/americana stuff: always a good sound and feedback is never a problem for me. My pickup is similar to K&K's Bassmax btw..

I bought a spare, just in case, but it's still sitting in it's box. The first one that I got more than eight years ago still does it's job. And I bought it second hand.

Hard to beat.

Perfetto

Economico ma fa bene il suo lavoro, soddisfattissimo.

Have it both ways

Solid little brick. Great as a band pass eq for on stage production but it really shines in front of your favourite drive giving you an extra string per drive OR a nice clean boost mid boost low boost.

8 bands are honestly more than enough and it holds up against its pricier counterparts.

well built pedal

great range of adjustment with this pedal

Excellent value

Great little EQ. Decent build quality for the cheap price

Does what it is intended to do

Bought it for my brother for his pedal board.

There is not much to write about this equalizer - it does it's job well enough. After several months of use it has no visible signs of wear and works as new.

For it's price is the best !

Very dependable EQ, great value

For the price, this is a fantastic EQ pedal. It's not too big of a footprint either, as I only use a small pedal board, so it's very useful. 7 bands is more than enough for what I need and the gain switch is really useful as a simple boost also. I use this with a Fender Deluxe Reverb which doesn't have any mid control so this pedal is really useful. The faders are quite sturdy toop which helps with feeling your way around if needing to tweak and settings on a dark stage. Very recommended.

This is what helps you get that desired sound

Especially useful if you have an amp without bass/mid/treble-knobs. It has 7 switches for different frequencies so you can tweak it really specifically. The switches lock softly at the middle point, which is great, then you don't have to look at what you're doing, you automatically know where you're at. The gain switch on the right side is useful when you want that extra punch, really good booster. Pedal can be used as an overall booster as well in the FX loop. Really versatile and great price/quality, goes well with other pedals

Good Affordable Option

I bought this pedal in order to see if I really need an EQ pedal in my chain, and was thinking to maybe get a better one if it's the case. I kept it. I doesn't look like it's going to last a very very long time, but for the price you could just buy a new one.

If you're thinking about an EQ and don't wanna invest too much, give this a try.

8 band EQ

Very versatile, easy to dial in a good tone, happy with the price/quality

Fantastic adition to my rig

A very solid feeling metal construction with a plastic backing. The EQ sliders are plastic, and very low profile, with a good amount of resistance. Seems like it would be very difficult to accidentally move them while playing. With them being so close its a bit fiddly to set them all up.

It adds adds absolutely no noise. With the sliders set neutral I cant hear any difference with the pedal on or off. It offers great tone shaping abilites, and works very well as a boost.

Currently I'm using it as a telephonic effect. I am highy considering buying more of them for boost and tone shaping. The thing is way to versitile to just have one.

solid EQ

This EQ does exactly what it is supposed to do. The case is made of metal and build quality seems solid. The sliders are easy to move and able to maintain their position. Also they lock when put in neutral position (except volume slider).

Unless volume is put on really high levels this eq doesn't put much noise to the signal. The bypass has almost no influence on the sound either. This pedal can be used as a boost aswell when cranking the level up although dedicated boosters might produce less noise.

As for reliability i can't say much but mine hasn't had any issues so far (bought it about one year ago).

Can't fault it

There's really nothing to fault about this pedal. Structurally it's very well designed, and it doesn't seem to diminish my sound in any way.

The sliders don't protrude very high above the case which is great as it keeps them out of harms way, pretty much everything on it is made of metal and feels very solid.

The range of the EQ allows you to boost and cut frequencies enough to make a big difference, but it's still possible to make fine adjustments. I've found on other graphic EQ pedals that the range is too extreme and moving the sliders even a fraction can change the sound more than you want. They got this one just right.

Overall a great pedal, and the price is right.

Exactly what I was looking for

I use a pod hd into a marshall JVM FX return and I was looking for a bit of extra control in between the pod and the marshall to take out some fizz and add some fatness, this does the job perfectly. Very happy with it
