I initially looked at two of the most popular equalizers, the BOSS and the MXR, and chose the MXR. I quickly found that it was not easy to use. The sliders were tiny and were not easy to move, and the LED's were not that useful; even with the lights the sliders tended to blend in with the face of the pedal. I returned the MXR and got the BOSS and I have been much happier since. It is much more legible and user-friendly. I am not obsessed with sound quality, so it may differ minutely from the MXR but it doesn't seem to adversely affect the tone of the signal. Unless you're really picky about your equalizer, this one is likely to do, especially in a live situation. I find it useful mainly as a boost, but I love having the flexibility to sculpt my sound so easily! A really useful pedal!

I love the range of this EQ. Having control over the 6.4k+ region adds a lot of clarity to the sound. It's not as wide of a freq range as the MXR's 10-band...Read complete review
I love the range of this EQ. Having control over the 6.4k+ region adds a lot of clarity to the sound. It's not as wide of a freq range as the MXR's 10-band M-108, and wider than the M-109. It has everything an EQ should, plus a gain control (which I don't really use; never been too impressed with EQ pedals as gain boosters). The only problem is when the unit is bypassed: it eats away at the tone. Specifically, I noticed a thinner sound in the low-midrange area, and an overall decrease in dynamics. The resulting sound didn't eaven measure up to the tone without the unit in the loop, even after tweaking the settings to where I wanted.
That said, it is built like a tank, just like all other Boss products. Boss pedals have never failed me, and I'm pretty rough on them. I've never had this problem with any of my other Boss pedals (RV-3, RV-5, TU-3 and DD-6), so I'm thinking it may have just been a dud. Nonetheless, I will be picking up an MXR 108 soon.

It adds some buzzing on certain settings (acoustic for example) with destortion on. but other than that it is a good pedal for shaping your sound.

Comments about Boss GE-7 Equalizer Pedal:
I noticed that there were a lot of complaints about the hiss that this pedal gives, so i was scepticle when buying it. i found it used at a local shop for only $49 though, and i needed something to replace the broken equalizer in my acoustic, so i decided to give it a shot. i LOVE it. i DIDN'T hear any HISS. maybe it's just mine, but i had no noticible noise come from mine at all. --if the hiss really bothers you, jhs pedals has a mod to fix that and widen the range of the eq.--
Also, it shapes the tone amazingly on my acoustic and electric. i was able to tweek the sound just to what i wanted it to be, and it's a lot better then what my original eq could have done.
i am, hands down, completely satisfied with my purchase.
Comments about Boss GE-7 Equalizer Pedal:
Overall just too much hiss for the price. Might work for you if you're playing live and it gets covered up, but if you're into quality sweet tone with no signal degridation it's not for you. Overall for therice you shouldn't have to put up with the hiss, it should be pure sweet tone.
I give this product a 3 because for the price, you should not have to put up with the hiss. However the tone it produces is very nice, and when playing live you'd never really notice it. Now if you are using a quality guitar and a quality amp and you want to use this to shape your tone for recordings it's terrible, unless you use a noise gate but who want's to shell out the extra cash just so it doesn't hiss, spend a few $ more and get the MXR no hiss. 7 band EQ is nice and volume control is nice.
Too much hiss, but tones are nice if you can stand the noise. I could not.
I'd have to say not much of a value since it's competitors aren't much more and some are less.
Comments about Boss GE-7 Equalizer Pedal:
In my case I found it really stripped my tone when bypassed. On I can get some good sounds out of it but scratching my head why its sucking the dry signal dry.
Wow, a quick look around at the reviews and I feel I am one of the few that had issues with the EQ. I bought it to run with my MXR 10 band to have another quickly selectable tone at the ready. I immediately noticed a tone difference even when clicked off. Moved it around the chain but on my setup it really did take out alot of the depth of the tone. With distortion,od and other effects on I could not notice it but dry it really sucked the tone out so I know its effecting the overall sound. I took it out for now but at only 100 bucks its worth a try. What attracted me was the small footprint on a already crowded board.
Dunno but if its like the other Bosses it a brick.
100 bucks for a small tough eq.
