Boss GE-7 Graphic Equalizer vs Boss PQ-4 Parametric Equalizer

[@jumpboy29]

I use the parametric eq in Boss Tone studio to reshape my clean tone. Man what a tool, very useful and probably much more tweakable than any pedal. It's a bit daunting at first but now the clean channel crunches up naturally, better than the crunch channel does

[@ericportillo8277]

youre one of the few youtubers with cool intro music that isnt annoying lol

[@barryengle12666]

I've used a PQ-4 for a really long time now, such a great pedal. I use it so that it gives my overdrive channel on my Marshall just a bit of more overdrive (obviously it's in how I have things set) and wow, just an awesome pedal

[@zombiemosher1139]

I had the PQ-4 when it came out, wish i'd kept it, great pedal. I use the half rack RGE-10 in my rig but always keep the GE-7 in my bag for backup.

[@warrenwilliams6212]

This was really a great demo. Thank you!

[@KRAZEEIZATION]

Great demo. The PQ-4 is a great pedal with more control than the GE-7 and they are expensive now to buy used.

[@xenod1066]

I'd like to see a comparison of GE7B (Bass EQ) vs. GE7, on guitar. Did you find the PQ4 had noticeably less noise than GE7?

[@matthewbarger4592]

it seems the pq4 is sort of a para-graphic, i couldn't tell if there was a Q adjustment available.

[@-rubbersoul-]

it overkills lot of adjustments… better used to cut something out instead add frequency… especially mid territory and q shape

[@michaelcraig9449]

which is better? Which does more things? Which one can control a wider amount of frequencies? Are there advantages and disadvantages of either one? Are they basically the same circuit, except for the knobs and sliders?

[@beefysinglecut]

PQ can control more wider...

[@hellskreamer]

So basicly, the Graphic EQ controls 1 frq, while the Parametric one controls a pile of frequencies around the one chosen, generally this is how guitar amps have their controls set, Parametric lets you single out a certain point of frq's you don't like, or like and let you boost/scoop that area. a graphic let's you, for example, boost the 1000 Hz frq.

[@ColumbusMHC]

Do you find that the GE-7 produces any noise when it's active? I have an MXR 6-band EQ, and it really moulds my tone quite nicely, but it creates a god-awful hiss as soon as I turn it on.

[@kevinbrooks6265]

get the silver mxr ten band .it's quiet .

[@kameron95]

Yes it does produce a ton of hiss.

[@michaelcraig9449]

when did these pedals come out? are they both fairly new?

[@robotninja7740]

How would you compare this pedal to the 10 band mxr?

[@marde659]

me acabo de comprar el Boss, GE-7 , lo recomiendo es una genialidad

[@elmeromero6559]

Mar De de veras es tan bueno el GE-7?? por fa quisiera saber si lo recomiendas de verdad byee =)

[@neftalihernandez358]

Yo tengo el Ge-7 y si lo recomiendo, hace mucha diferencia con la EQ basica del amplificador. Yo tengo 2 recomiendaciones 1- que lo uses fijo, con alguna cancion para mejor tu sonido 2- usalo para partes especeficas como un solo, digamos como un booster. Hay diferencia si lo usas directo o en el loop fx de tu amp, pero debes acompañarlo con un Noise Gate porque si hace ruido.

[@Jeepjones85]

Great video I have the ge-7 but iv never messed with the pq-4 thats a cool pedal

[@alexmusic2387]

Wich one has less noise? I play flamenco guitar

[@jaychen2000metal]

The Graphic throws you off because it gets boxy if you go over the flat mark

[@sahabcan]

I own a Blackstar HT1. I want a eq control to give a little taste for my amp. Which type you would suggest for me?

[@sahabcan]

I did that and worked out but I also change the speaker with 8", 8ohm Celestion speakers. I saw that thats what I was looking for. :D

[@yeremiakristanto6833]

which is the best of both?

[@chansinki493]

Your wiring reminds me of Physics experiments at school....

[@ddl508]

GE - 7 !!!

[@joe4316]

You never boosted the highs on the Graphic..........

[@jaychen2000metal]

Gets harsh once the 6.4k starts to get over +5

[@organjoe]

Get an Analogman GE7 - it is really great!

[@dbombaable]

I have 2 Analogman Modded GE-7. One is in home setup and one Band setup. Someone local to me is selling a Pq-4.

[@kameron95]

The G E-7

[@2122banks]

Although some cute pedals if you really want a good EQ foot pedal go get the Boss 10-band EQ foot pedal you can program up to 10 let me read the frequencies that you get from low to high 30 60 120 400 800 1.6 k 3.2 k 6.4 k 12.8 k this EQ foot pedal will open up your amp like a can of worms I run mine flat and I use the level as a signal boost an it is my first foot pedal that I run into that pre-post that will affect every foot pedal on the board and make it sounds 10 times better then on my other side I have a clean boost it turns a solid-state amp into a tube amp get the same sound yes I'm a cheap person LOL get the most out of each foot pedal love that foot pedal my boss EQ 20 is the only pedal I really need makes everything sound 10 times better try it

[@thecookreporting]

ge-7 is noisy. found the cheaper dan electro eq to be far quiter

[@adrianleiva5884]

Boss GE-7 best

[@hellskreamer]

It's really up to each and everyone, he doesn't use the parametric quite right in the video, or to be exact, he doesn't use it in a nice way, a parametric (in my opinion) gives a much smoother EQ than a graphic, unless you have a 15+ graphic. Parametric is simpler, easier to use, sounds better (imo).

[@mohitrahaman]

Its not about what's best, each has its separate purpose, where one can be more useful for tone shaping; the other to keep certain frequencies under control.

[@jaibruce777]

One advantage of the graphic EQ is that you can easily memorize the various settings as you tailor the sound(s) you want.

[@helio1055]

I get that strats are one of the best sounding guitars ever made, but why does this guy always use it for demos like this? It sounds like a cheap plastic-y toy. I don’t understand, you actually have to try to get a bad tone when your using a strat and a good amp like an AC30

[@LesleyLesPaul]

Good job done, 'like your videos ! Plz, try mine !? LES greets ...

[@ferdielopez1]

Seems like a B***S**** you don't shown that you are switching from PQ to GE both are red light on

[@bsnyder921]

They're both on because they're wired in parallel, not in series. This is a more accurate way of comparing the sounds between them.

[@donnnick]

Ya massive conspiracy to fake a pedal. You were the target fuck what is he going to do now.
