I don't think you can beat this one for the price.

They ('re supposedly/are) a Boss EQ clone with the "Sniper" mod.

Im surpised Boss/Roland haven't sued Harley benton yet. Might order the eq pedal and the DD-2.
meh...

No ones mentioned the MXR one yet. Im guessing its insufficient?

the mxr ones are a lot more responsive if you run them on higher voltages

are the MXR EQ pedals not any good? i don't want to buy a Boss EQ. so unless it was the Danelectro EQ or an older, used DOD EQ, i don't know what i would get. indecision is not fun!

actually, i would break-down & possibly consider the Boss EQ-20. anyone had any experience w/ that particular pedal?

I got one of these, use it quite often actually, especially when using the 'wrong' guitar for certain songs. Usually trying to make a Hagstrom Viking sound solid-bodied. It EQs shit up fine, boosts certain frequencies and cuts others. I wouldn't say the EQ'd sound is particularly nice or natural sounding, but I've never heard an EQ pedal that does sound nice.

It's sexier than other pedals cos the tip of all the sliders light-up.

Do you find any white noise is added when you up the sliders? That was the only problem with teh Boss GE-7 I had. I don't really find the need for an EQ pedal these days, but they can definitely be a boon if you have very different guitars and don't want to mess with amp settings.

Yeah it's a bit hissy, but then the guitar itself if quite noisy too.

Guitars produce hum, not white noise.

The hum is hamplified by the hissy eq. If I were using a solid-bodied guitar with any shielding there'd be less noise all round.

Nope. The hiss is coming from a poorly filtered series of notched amplifiers.

Hiss and Hum are very different things and you can see them clearly on a 'scope. Hum is around 50Hz/60Hz depending, Hiss way up in the 10KHz+ region and is generated by electronic noise in amplification stages, either poor quality resistors or a lack of filtering on amplification stages. It is likely the latter and that it sufferes from from the same design flaws as the Boss pedal.

Furry nuff. I think I'd care more about eq pedal hiss if my guitar weren't a noisy bugger to start with.

the Overdrive pedal i rely on kills the bass tone. been trying to remedy it w/ a bass distortion but i guess i really need to either get an EQ pedal, a bass boost pedal or just buy a Rat. i had my heart set on the MXR 10 EQ. but now i am not so sure...

sorry to have troubled you w/ the n00b toddler questions & sorry to have bumped the thread i am deeply sorry for any trouble or inconvenience it has caused. it is w/ heavy regret that offer my most heartfelt apologies.

mea culpa...
