Boss GE-7 Equalizer Reviews

Very robust and good

Practical, good little eq that does it’s job. Sounds quite Nice and will last a long time.

Best EQ pedal ever

As the title of this review suggests I am very satisfied with this pedal and believe it to be the best EQ pedal for guitar and bass. It allows you to control all of the important frequency bands that you need in order to dial in the perfect tones.

Joker in the back pocket

A very versatile helper to keep in the pedal chain. Lets you get away with using unfamiliar gear at gigs or rehearsal rooms by boosting your overall signal in the desired direction. Or when everything's right without it, you can experiment with dialing in different sounds or simply use it as a boost pedal.

Warning - you might start liking your other pedals more by adding this in the mix.

The build and sound quality is top-notch. The sliders are quite sensitive though, and it can be a bit tricky to get the sound just right at first, but when you do, it really delivers.

Get it, use it, create your sound.

Better sound

I´ve used my my Boss Ge 131 (31 band rack model) for years. But let´s be honest, this 7 band will do the trick just fine. Every guitar and bass player should have this on the pedal board. It just makes your sound so much better. Simplest effect there is.

Does what it says

Great pedal. I use it as a booster by the method that you decrease the sound while playing main parts and then turn it off for solos. works perfectly for that.

You can create your own tone. Very nice

Great and compact equalizer.

Simple pedal that delivers a lot

I think the EQ pedal is the unsung hero of the pedal world and should be a feature on the pedal board of every guitarist.

The Boss GE-7 is a simple and affordable pedal that enables you to tweak your tone. Push the mids and your leads will cut through. Beautiful

One thing to note is that it can be a little noisy, so a gate is recommended.

Works great!

First of all, no noise whatsoever. Second of all, the handling of the settings is done very well, as well as the plastic handles are easy to use. Feature-wise, this is not the best option on the market as there are more frequency bands than just 7. Nevertheless, I am satisfied with it.

The quality of the pedal is awesome, just as with any other BOSS pedal. The sound it produces is just as great, but I haven't yet moved the level knob on it higher than 0.

Egaliseur Boss

Super pédale, très solide et résistante, fait ce qu'on lui demande. Je ne l'utilise plus parce qu'elle ne me sert pas mais bon super tout de même

Does what it suppose to do

This pedal just does what you need from it. Good logical bands, overall gain correction, no impact to the sound quality.

Nice to use in any place of your sound chain. Can be used as booster when standing before OD/distortion.

It Does What It Says

This pedal is really simple...it does what it says. It boosts, cuts frequencies and does it pretty doggoned well. I mean, what else can you ask of a pedal? I've been using it and it is just plain functional, built like a tank and it does what it is supposed to do and does it excellently. I say, all good and if you need what it does - buy it. It has no problems, no glitches or bugs. It just works.

This EQ is a must

I gave a 4 for Quality only because it will make a slight "hiss" if everything is on 100%. However, using normal settings to boost or decrease freq ranges does its job beautifully (no hiss or hum) and is quite potent. Every player should have such an external EQ on the pedal-board, and the GE-7 does its job perfectly well, for pros and for normal people.

Boss Do It Again

We all know Boss has a good name, but the GE-7, is not just for us bedroom players, this unit is rugged and is used also by many professional musicians.

Superb pedal, glad I added it to my Boss collection.

My best pedal!

I play through a Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier and I love its tone as it is, so I don't really need an EQ. I also have a Maxon 808OD that I boost the amp with, soooo what do I use this pedal for, you might be thinking...? Well... CHIPMUNK GUITAR EFFECT xD

Alright, all jokes aside, I also use it at home practice where I can't crank my 100 watts to its sweet spot/tone or else the walls start shaking and I get deaf. So I use a power attenuator to cut the amp's output power but maintaining its tonal quality, and then I boost the upper mids on this pedal and cut a little on the lows and that's it. I get my full-cranked-rehearsal-live guitar tone at home, at very low volume levels.

More useful than you might imagine

Boss are the boss.

Not only 7 bands of eq but a level control too. Very useful if the output of your guitar is too loud or soft.

Most powerful pedal for tone colors

I think this pedal will be my most important pedal, connected to send return, i can make a tone i have always wanted.

Rock solid Boss quality

Like any Boss pedal also this one is rock solid and build to last forever. The EQ clearly affects the sound like it should. Plus the extra power output makes this pedal all worth it.

Great pedal to shape your sound!

This pedal opens a lot of possibilities and is a lot of fun if you're on the more experimental side. Depending on where you put it in your chain it can really create some unexpected tones! I keep mine at the end of the chain to control my final signal but if I could I would have a second one to put somewhere in the middle of the chain. It's easy to use, durable and makes a real difference when used properly.

The only downside that I found is that the slides are very volume sensitive so sometimes I got caught a little off-guard when turning it on after setting up because it would be a lot louder than I expected, but it's something you get used to!

I you don't have it get it.

Every guitar rig should have one, at least some EQ pedal, and if you want one, BOSS is just one of the best. It is very transparent and easy to use. If you like "simple" overdrives it is a must, heck, get two and the other one can be used to match almost any amp to your ears, well at least make it passable.

Just get one :D

Chameleon pedal

I first got this pedal to put in the effects loop of an amp that had a sensetive master control to tame the volume to not get evicted.

Also great to re-shape the EQ to make an amp sound good at lower volumes.

When used infront of the amp can act as a clean boost or even a pseudo drive pedal when boosting certain frequencies.

You just can not go wrong with this EQ pedal great allrounder.
