I have an MXR KFK 10 band that I run in my loop and a DOD FX40b I run out front.. If I had to make a suggestion I'd say the DOD. There probably still cheap on the used market, and it works awesome. The KFK is great too, just a little more pricey.

Boss is extra noisy in the loop. I'd go with MXR.

Re: Suggest a good EQ pedal for me...
i tried my boss eq in the loop of my marshall. It did what it was supposed to do - made it all sound bigger and more defined etc. Not noisy, but i had done the monte allums mod kit to it so it had better op amps etc. Thats the only eq i can comment on, i have not tried any others.

I used to upgrade the chips and caps in the Boss EQs...Did quite a few actually.The MXR is a better pedal in my opinion..

The thing about the MXR 10 band that's always annoyed me are the leftmost and rightmost bands. There is no way a 32 Hz band or a 16 kHz band will be useful on a guitar.

Re: Suggest a good EQ pedal for me...
I use a 6 band MXR that I picked up from a guy on the forum here for about $40. It works great. I've had friends play with an MXR 10 band and those work great, too. I bought the 6 band because of space issues like you've mentioned and I was able to find one pretty cheap. Which ever of the two work out in your situation, the quality is certainly there with the MXR eqs.

Re: Suggest a good EQ pedal for me...
I have to disagree. I have heard that statement before, so, with pedal hooked up I slid the sliders full on, full off on the extremes of 32 Hz and 16 kHz. I definitely heard the difference on both the 32 Hz and 16 kHz sides with a Fender Strat and a Ibanez Les Paul copy. Do the test yourself.
Now, will you hear that difference in a high gain, high volume setting?????, no frack'en way, but it does make a difference, and in some musical situations, it will make the music shine.

I think so . . . i like the extra low end, at 31Hz.
I believe the 6 band only goes as low as 100Hz.
