You can also place the GE-7 in the effects loop of an amplifier to give finer control over its tone. This is especially useful for single-tone control amplifiers that do not offer dedicated bass, mid, and treble controls. If you use two different guitars during a set with the same pedal board, you can put the GE-7 at the start to equalise their output levels. I started using it when I realised that the beautiful tones I got from my guitars, amps and pedals at home had a tendency to get drowned when playing with my band. Whether or not it's capable of competing with more refined boutique models depends on how demanding you are, and how capable you are at recognizing subtleties in terms of tone. This isn't to say that it's a crude tool, but rather a more robust solution for those who are operating on a tighter budget. It didn't take long before Boss GE-7 became one of the most popular EQ pedals to date. This somewhat robust design offers a great performance that has been tried and tested numerous times by now. The bands available are pretty versatile even for more aggressive genres of music, while they work flawlessly when you need to shape the tone of an acoustic electric guitar.
The GE-7 is a real working man's EQ that brings just what you need to get the job done, and none of those pesky options which are not often used in many cases, and are more distracting than anything else. To its defense, some of the best guitar effects pedals are often times simple in nature. Even though Boss GE-7 isn't really that cheap, it's still punching above its price range with a lot of headroom to spare. Those looking for a simple graphic EQ are going to love this capable little white box. The Boss GE-7 equaliser pedal features seven band EQ so you can boost and from 100Hz to 6.4kHz, there’s also a slider for you to adjust your overall level for further control over your sound. I would strongly recommend this unit to any guitarist playing in a band, especially if there are other midrange focused instruments. What works for me is : cut off 100HZ, slightly cut 200HZ, slightly boost 400HZ, slightly cut 800HZ, slightly boost 1KHZ, 3.2KHZ at unity or slightly below, 6,4HZ is basically the presence, so I adjust it depending on the amp and the context. Warmth: this is often a wide hump centred around the mids; think the sound of the Ibanez Tube Screamer

Crunch: a less compressed and more open distorted mid sound often gives a gravelly, 'crunchy' sound. It's notable that even some scooped Big Muffs like the Ram's Head can get 'crunchy', which tells us it's probably more to do with the character of the low mids and upper mids either side of the notch. Okay, so those are the glossary terms, but what can we hear in the actual mix at which frequency, and why is it important? While the sound man might be great, relying on him to reset your EQon demand is not going to work. An EQ pedal allows you to get that boost you need when you need it and it's so easy to use you can fine tune your tone in less time than it takes the drummer to count you in. Renowned Boss build quality
You should get an instant answer on whether your application has been successful, though in some rare cases Klarna or V12 may need to look at the application in more detail. I chose this equalizer after reading opinions on forums. I was looking for a affordable, simple yet effective equalizer, with a good build quality. Finally, we've alluded often to the fundamental note. Especially with guitar, the majority of its unique timbre is as a result of the mix of a fundamental note and its overtones - although this is true of all instruments. If you use a particular tuning or often write in a specific key, then working out what the frequency of a note is allows you to EQ around the impact of that note. Not only that, but you can then calculate overtones. this is where you might find the fundamental of the snare. Sounds here go from 'rumble' to 'growl' and 'bloom'.A frequency range of 100 Hz to 6.47 kHz has been divided into seven bands for you to cut and boost to really shape your guitar tone with the Boss GE-7 Graphic Equalizer pedal.
one of the most valuable mixing tips we've ever been told is that this is the rough area that gives a bass guitar 'beef'. By carefully changing the EQ of bass and guitars around this point, you can alter the balance of the two instruments so that they gel together better in a mix. Boss has always been that go-to brand when it comes to decent guitar effects that will get the job done. You could say it's the patron saint of guitar player everywhere around the world. The one we'd like to introduce you to today is their EQ unit that goes under the name of Boss GE-7. Bite: a rule of thumb for bite is around 2-10kHz, but crucially, you'll know it when you hear it. Get a distorted Peavey 6505+ in a mix, and remove all the bass and low mids - all that will be left is the bite. With a graphic EQ that has 10 or more bands, this could be the difference between an overtone being in one band or the next, and with a pedal like the Empress ParaEQ, it's likely to have an effect on either the centre frequency you use, or indeed the Q you apply to the low, mid, or treble band. As we have mentioned before, this is a 7 band graphic EQ. The top part of the pedal is where you will find the corresponding sliders. In addition to the seven bands available, you also have a master level slider to work with. The boost and cut capability is operating within the -15dB to 15dB range. That might not be the most powerful boost you can find, but it's more than enough for most applications. The sliders are rather precise and tactile. You can easily adjust them on the fly, even in conditions with low light. PerformanceThe MXR is the perfect boost. It tightens the tone, and adds gain but without congesting and compressing the tone like a overdrive can. It's my fav boost. I still use my Maxon od808, Boss sd-1, and even my metal zone for that purpose, but the MXR 6 band is the best of the bunch and gets the most use from me. The 10 band is also really good, but doesn't sound quite as tight as the 6 band, which is just more focused in it's tone.
The GE-7 proved really effective at the task. Basically I use it only to make my tone sit nicely in the mix on rehearsals or gigs. I don't use it at home, because what I'm trying to do is to sound as good as home in a band context. I don't use it to create special sounds or to make my amp sound like another one, though it can certainly do that. Carbon-zinc battery (9 V, 6F22) Options (sold separately) AC adaptor: PSA series Size and Weight Width 73 mm The Boss GE-7 is perfect for solos and lead playing, and will have you slicing through the mix like a bullet through a balloon. If you're looking for a pedal to add a extra edge of bite, or a touch of class to your tone then look no further. Highly intuitive, you can utilise the wide raging controls to create everything from a more subtle sound edit, all the way to the weird and wonderful end of the EQ spectrum. Discover your creativity and elevate your playing, for an enhanced performance, every time. Specifications Lots of guitarists underestimate the power they can hold with a simple graphic EQ pedal like this GE-7. Boosting for solos, cutting out problem frequencies, reshaping the natural sound of the guitar (i.e. cutting away the bottom end of an LP or boosting the lower mids of an S-type): there are loads of powerful ways you can take advantage of an EQ pedal! this is where the 'body' of the sound comes from. Some snares will have their overtones in this area, and it can overwhelm their 'snap', which generally sits somewhere in the 'bite' frequencies.It's worth remembering that where other instruments and elements sit is important. The guitar has such a wide range that unless you're playing completely solo, how much bandwidth you have in each range will determine how impactful your playing is to the listener. Growl: this is the area that gives grind to guitar and basses, and particularly with distorted lower sounds, will need attention. It's around 100-150Hz, or with a very wide Q can be a wide hump from 60-80 all the way up to the low mids around 3-500Hz. These figures will vary depending on the actual conditions of use.
