I have the Boss GEB-7 too and I use it for my pick tone. I play fingerstyle probably 75% of the time so the amp's EQ is dialed in for that.
But by using the pedal I can go to a killer pick tone just by stepping on it. And the best thing to me is that it has a level control...the pick always needs more lows which takes the volume up significantly, and I hate messing with the volume control on the bass or amp...usually takes a tune or two to get it set correctly and I don't want to change it.
I never put anything between the bass and the amp so I run my EQ pedal out of the effects loop, works perfectly.
