Sign in to disble this ad
so can i sell it like a vintage fender?  lol
jokes aside i dunno if it works and has different frequency centers than the regular GEB-7 which i also have. its made in Taiwan. there was a battery inside, when i took it out i noticed the battery clip had broken due to some chemical reaction or melting or something, i think the battery did it! so you think it will be reliable enough to keep it on my board, considering its really beat up and if it works fine?
sorry i dont have a camera to post pics. but am wondering how many people, gigs and stories it much have been through.
edit: is there a way to find out its year of manufacture?

I have the same pedal, and mine works just fine, eventhough it looks like it's been through WWII.
Regarding your battery issue, I have no idea whether or not it's safe to use, but if you run it through at power suply, everything should be fine. |

And you'll have your answers.

|  | I promised myself I would stop buying pedals | | Join Date: Feb 2000 Location: Perth, Australia | | | I've got the GEB-7 and I've always thought it's frequencies are strange. 50Hz, 120Hz, 400Hz, 500Hz, 800Hz, 4.5kHz, 10kHz.
What's 10k supposed to do for me? Why 400 and 500 together then a jump from 800 to 4500?
The GE-7B seems more sensible. 62Hz, 125Hz, 250Hz, 500Hz, 1kHz, 2kHz, 4kHz
I guess Boss had their reasons...

I guess Boss had their reasons... | I would take a guess that those are the major frequencies when it comes to bass EQ and are possibly more obvious.

Hi-fi into an old tube amp | | Join Date: May 2005 Location: SW | | | I think the jump from 800 to 4.5k leaves a few things out!
I'd find 120 Hz a little off from where I consider low mids (150-180, even up to 200).
