Behringer BEQ700 Bass Graphic Equalizer Reviews

Bom e barato

Bom preço, adequado ao propósito, som melhor que o esperado. Recomendo.

good, before harley benton pedals came out

personally I prefer the HB ministomp, only 5 bands but made of metal, and it costs peanuts, even cheaper than this.

Great value for the money!

I needed for performance to my bass graphic equalizer. I decided to buy the cheapest one. And oh surprise, this time I didn't fail. A pedal with an excellent price-quality ratio. I highly recommend it if you are an amateur and need a good and reliable equalizer. Then this is the right choice for you.

Good but slightly plasticky feel.

A good cheap eq pedal with good headroom.

Does the job.

Not as good as the Harley Benton one which used to be sold.

Decent and cheap

I dont play bass, I use it to EQ a stompbox on my set up. It does the job perfectly and with no noise. I dont think would be no noise if you conect it to a bass. It does not fit for studio recording purposes.

Great value for money.

Pedal is great value for money. Sounds great and adds a nice tone to my bass playing esp. when accenting or slapping notes which is why I got an EQ pedal. Some marks deducted for a plastic cover, but at this price it is not a concern. Superb value.

Low cost but functional

The plastic construction does not feel as sturdy and durable as metal construction of e.g. Boss pedals. The sliders feel a bit fragile. However if you are nice to it it looks it should last.

You can power it either from an adaptor or from a 9V battery. I did not check how long the battery lasts; the access to the battery is not as straightforward as in Boss pedals so don't forget to change it before taking it to a gig if you don't have an adaptor or might not be able to use it.

It also introduces a bit of hiss when active.

STOP THE BEHRINGER HATE!

Seriously, what the hell? Sure it's got a plastic shell. Doesn't stop it from doing its job properly. Get Behringer! It's cheap, and mighty useful.

Does the job

You would imagine that for the price It wont do the job properly, but there you are wrong. I does modify the equalization quite precise.

I have tried to use it on a guitar, since the equalization range its just higher on the low end, and obviously with my bass guitar.

It does the EQ job both on guitar and on Bass.

It can it be used as a signal booster as well.

No alien sounds on the signal.

I can recommend it.

Noisy pedal

Maybe just my unit, but i have a lot of noise while using mine. The pedal feels pretty cheap and flimsy but does the job.

Useful but flimsy

I bought this as a tool to have around the studio to quickly EQ electronics and other sources because going into pedal cains. It does the job very well, although the faders feel very very cheap and innacurate, and the lack of mid-position notch makes using this even trickier. That said, pretty hard to beat that price, so I guess flimsy faders and a playmobil case is the trade off. Sound-wise, it sounds a lot better than the price tag suggests, boosting or cutting generously and without too much noise.

Now that's DEEEEP!!!

I love this pedal, it can change the sound of your bass in all frequencies more than you could ever need. I use it to add a little extra depth to the low end and it works a treat.

It does hum/hiss slightly when you increase the higher frequencies but this would only really matter if you were using it for recording purposes and really wouldn't be any problem in a practice session or even on stage.

I am aware that everybody complains about it being made of plastic but it still feels very pretty robust and I fully believe it would hold up okay in a rough gigging environment.

For around 20 euros it's brilliant and there really is absolutely nothing to grumble about here.

This is my first Behringer pedal and after using this one, I am now happy to try out a few others.

Definitely recommended!!!

Update 24th Oct 2020.....

I am so glad I never payed more for a more expensive make, it's as good as anything else out there. Every time I use this pedal it brings a smile to my face. I play a few different bass's and this is so good at adjusting the overall sound of each very easily, accurately and quickly. The lower frequencies go way lower than you will ever need (unless you want to cause an earthquake!).

If you use batteries to power your pedals, changing one on the Behringer pedals is a little fiddley but I will also say the battery life in this particular pedal is very long so it's not something you'll be doing too often.

Ignore the grumblers... Yes, I'm sure It would feel nicer in a metal housing but after a hell of a lot of pretty heavy footed use in work-boots, despite the plastic case, I am now convinced it's pretty much indestructible.

Works well

Not bomb proof but good when on a budget, Plastic construction. Not too noisy for live purposes.

good, basic eq

Good basic 7-band eq. Does the job well. As good as the Boss one. This one is made from plastic, but several real-life examples show that this device is durable. I've had it now for a few years and it has worked faultlessly.

Good budget option

Works well and has good spectral range. Main downside is the flimsy construction which means it won't survive long in your average gig environment, but then again I am not sure this is where it is aimed at. Mine still works but looks like it has been to war and back so resale value is nonexistent.

Soundwise, does everything any brand one will and work great with relatively low batter consumption. Just don't stomp on it too hard.

I bought this pedal to complete a pedalboard (along with the Behringer BOD) with which i play at home and it does what is supost to. It?s nothing special but it does the job. The main downside for most people will be the plastic construction, i wouldn't rely on it in a live setting on stage.

Basic for basic use.

If you're looking for cheap pedal then just go for it but if you're used to higher quality pedal just avoid these behringher ones.

These ain't bad but just worth their price .. so don't expect miracles.

For the price the best

For these review i have to keep the price in my mind. But what i searched for?

I searched for a cheap floor board equalizer to give my bass a little bit more thickness. So i ordered these Behringer pedal.

It looks like the Boss equalizer pedal and has eight bands to modulate the sound. A level slide switch allows level correctures. A blue LED shows you the equalizer works. This LED is very light...

Now, the stability of the pedal... OK, its of plastic, so not as stable as the expensive Boss pedals. But it works!

On Sound, the pedal works like an equalizer pedal. I detected some noises when the pedal is on, so not perfect.

I think because of the price, this pedal is the best for beginners, like i was when i baught this pedal.

Low price and low quality

This equalizer costs only25-30% of a similar Boss pedal. This is obvious when you check the quality - very plastic. The sound is OK, but the initial impression is that this box will not stand any rough handling. OK for rehersals or home use, I guess.

Bass graphic

This little box does exactly what it says it does. The equaliser is pretty good,but to me it's best use is as a versatile buffer. You can use 10-15 m leads on magnetic or piezo pickups completely free of degradation. This is a great little box and fantastic value for money.
