Well, I'd say buy mine, but it's bigger than the room you have left!

Re: thinking about gettin' an EQ pedal
Works the best it's going to work within your amp's effects loop,if it has one..It'll cut down on alot of noise and hiss and would be positioned right between the preamp and the output stages of your amp.

and I don't have much room on my pedalboard:
Does it make a difference if it's in front of the wah pedal or behind it?

Re: thinking about gettin' an EQ pedal
I've modded the Boss GE7 for better tone and less noise for myself and Jeff H...There's very little hiss if you run it in front of an amp,but it's very quiet in a decent effects loop...It was very quiet when I ran mine into my Vox Valvetronix 120 VTX head for instance..

Re: thinking about gettin' an EQ pedal
I absolutely love my MXR 10 band EQ. I have the Kerry King sig one, but it is no different than the standard M-108. It definitely made a huge difference on my recto. Really thickened up my tone. It is the one pedal I could not live without.

Re: thinking about gettin' an EQ pedal
+1 to that. when i used to have my single recto head, i would sometimes run a (stock) boss GE-7 in the loop, and it was pretty darn quiet

Re: thinking about gettin' an EQ pedal
Anyone tried the Electro harmonix EQ pedal ?
I do agree that since the stock OD is used, it needs an EQ pedal badly to boost its gain and whatever. An additional compressor with definately help also

Re: thinking about gettin' an EQ pedal
Really ? But i don't have those around in my local stores here, I want more boost in my OD bass, have the boom from back. I think the next best thing for me is the Fulltone OCD =)

Re: thinking about gettin' an EQ pedal
What are you looking to achieve? Honestly I havnt used my eq with my amp for awhile now. I do set the sliders as weird position, kick on an octave pedal, and a big muff and make some really cool bass sounds. But thats just a personal prefference.

Re: thinking about gettin' an EQ pedal
I use a DOD FX40B to boost the mids when I solo.
I will experiment on it to EQ my Shredmaster and have my OD do the mid-boost when I solo.
I would say the DOD is at par with the GE7 in all aspects but the built. The latter, to me, does not justify the cost being 3x the DOD.

Re: thinking about gettin' an EQ pedal
I was talking to you lol.
My vote is for the MXR. Little more control and a lot less noise.
Good Luck,

Re: thinking about gettin' an EQ pedal
Thank you all very much, especially stratdeluxer.. I bought an MXR 6 band graphic EQ (blue) today and hooked it into the effects loop. With my footswitch I can turn it on and off, and it is excellent! No excess noise, great boost for solos or when I just wanna be so loud 'n crunchy that it hurts!
Thanks again, and Rock On!
