EQ PEDALS - Any Recommendations?!

The Boss GEB7 is pretty good. I have the EQ20 though and am not a big fan as it doesn't seem to like the 18v circuit on my bass and can clip when I play hard. It's great for the programability and flexibility though. I use a Rocktek Bass Eq now in my distortion channel to add low end and it works fine. Think it was only about £20 quid used too.

Im looking to get an EQ pedal for my bass, but i really wasn't sure what to be looking for. Can anyone help please?

I was leaning towards getting a Boss GEB-7.

Many thanks,

I haven't tried it but if I was looking for one, the MXR M-108 (10 band EQ) would be the first one I'd look for... It works with 18v though, not 9v, so that might be a problem for some...

I use my Yamaha NE-1 Nathan East preamp between my bass and desk/amp/DI etc.

Its a sweepable/variable mid cut and acts like a 'focus' ring on a camera lens to get the sound right in a given room. I don't tend to use any amp EQ afterwards either, tinkering as necessary on the old actives...

I use the MXR 10 band EQ - Very accomodating for bass and easy to dial in your sound for any room. Great tone !!

+1 The Rocktek Bass EQ ( 6 bands 80Hz to 2.6kHz + Level Control ) works well. Can't quote noise figures etc and prob not as well screened as a metal cased pedal. But cheap if you can pick one up used here / ebay / gumtree etc.
