Mattbass97 Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 (edited) Hello all! Im a little confused as to which one of these is better. Anybody have thoughts and opinions on which is better.

Many thanks Edited June 28, 2012 by Mattbass97 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pollinator95 Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Have you got any links to the GE-B7? Never heard of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EskimoBassist Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 I used the newer version for a few years, no complaints from me at all. The newer version is definitely more readily available so you could probably snap one up cheap on here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattbass97 Posted June 28, 2012 Author Share Posted June 28, 2012 im watching one and its going for £55 the geb-7 goes for around 40 odd if the old one is better i dont mind spending a little extra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Here's a poor google translation of an Italian web page with a few photos. Seem very similar to the GEB-7: [url="http://translate.googleusercontent.com/translate_c?act=url&hl=en&ie=UTF8&prev=_t&rurl=translate.google.com&sl=auto&tl=en&twu=1&u=http://www.mercatinomusicale.com/mm/a_boss-ge-7b-geb-7-equalizzatore-x-basso-made-in-japan-90-perfetto-scatola_id2576076.html&usg=ALkJrhg_jvifdcj7uCnF4yir6FJstahiLw"]http://translate.googleusercontent.com/translate_c?act=url&hl=en&ie=UTF8&prev=_t&rurl=translate.google.com&sl=auto&tl=en&twu=1&u=http://www.mercatinomusicale.com/mm/a_boss-ge-7b-geb-7-equalizzatore-x-basso-made-in-japan-90-perfetto-scatola_id2576076.html&usg=ALkJrhg_jvifdcj7uCnF4yir6FJstahiLw[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattbass97 Posted June 28, 2012 Author Share Posted June 28, 2012 its the frequency bands im concerned about which are more useful? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibob Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 [url="http://www.bossarea.com/loadpage.asp?file=boxes/geb7.xml"]http://www.bossarea.com/loadpage.asp?file=boxes/geb7.xml[/url] [url="http://www.bossarea.com/loadpage.asp?file=boxes/ge7b.xml"]http://www.bossarea.com/loadpage.asp?file=boxes/ge7b.xml[/url] Well which frequency bands do you prefer? I use both on my board, in seperate channels. I have the GEB-7 in the sub channel for the 50hz boost, and the GE-7B in the 'noise' channel for the 1k band. Each of those frequencies is exclusive to each pedal. Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pollinator95 Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Oh, the brown-series GE-7B. I tried a friend's a year or so ago and while I liked it for the mid frequencies, I kinda felt I was missing some control on the lows. YMMV, of course. I think the brown one with a shelving low control would have been ideal for me (to the drawing board! ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattbass97 Posted June 28, 2012 Author Share Posted June 28, 2012 i think i might stick to what i already liked the geb-7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibob Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 The GEB-7 goes lower GE-7B is a bit more handy for mids It's all subjective anyway Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ant Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 took me a fair while to figure out which freq bands i preferred to get 'my' sound, personally i'd go for the old one as its got the 1khz slider and that's my favourite freq. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
