MXR 10 Band Equalizer Silver 4-stars Reviews

Killer sound and blinding lights

I love this thing. It's fantastic. It gives you a ton of control over the sound and doubles as a volume/gain boost. It's sturdily built and the switch is solid and the sliders have a good feel to them.

My only gripes are:

1. It runs on 18v power (adapter included, but would have liked 12 or 9v as its more common in power supplies)

2. The LEDs are ABSOLUTELY BLINDING. I cannot emphasize this enough. This thing will light up in blue a dark room. If you are playing in a dark environment and look down at this thing it will blind you. I can't see my pedalboard when looking at it. Even when turned off, the volume and gain ones are STILL ON. It is infuriating.

Note: There's a hack of taking out the LEDs and putting them in backwards (don't do this while the device is powered) to make them not light up anymore, but then you can't tell when it's on anymore. I'll probably put black marker on them at some point.

To summarize, love the sound and quality, but dislike the 18v and HATE the LEDs. Still not taking it off my pedalboard, though.

Amazing sound control :-o

You can desing your sound how you want

Best eq for mid price

i needed an eq both for pre-pre and fx-loop usage, and this really have everything i need. the bands could be a little more on the 350-700 hz range, but hen you are eqing in the fxloop the higher bands (oveer 3k) are really useful, while you can pretty much ignore them in pre-preamp. it has a gain input control, and a volume output, it has stereo out, so you can use it also just for bi-amping purpose. the price is not cheap but it is still almost half of a Mesa 5band eq.

plus, it is almost christmas and all the lit up leds are wonderful! cheers!

Everyone needs an eq

Very handy pedal to have.Great for fine tuning an amp or pedal etc.This silver version only runs on 18v so just be aware of it if you want to power it from a power supply.
