I'm thinking of saving for this pedal, what do you guys think of it and what are your experiences with it? Plus any videos or sound clips would be appreciated

Thanks

Hi-fi into an old tube amp

I have one and barely ever use it. I might pull it out if I'm plugging into a guitar amp and want to control things a little better.

What were you hoping to use it for? If you are going for more tone shaping I'd recommend some other sort of outboard pre pedal instead (Hartke VXL is nice on the cheap) or just something with more features.

The GEB 7 does what it's supposed to... clean EQ.

Good pedal, buy used. I use it for EQ cleaning when I don't have my own amp with me at a gig and the only thing available to me is crappy house gear.

I use mine all the time on fretless bass, an older GE7B with different EQ points

I have one and hardly use it, but only because I have other EQ tools.
It's quite powerful but it has an odd choice of frequency centers.
The MXR 10-band would be better but needs an 18v power supply.
Source Audio have just released a programmable EQ which I would be checking out if I was in the market. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B005PQ...7306059&sr=1-2
