Everybody knows what an EQ pedal does, but we’ll tell you anyway. It is a tone control that can
limit or boost certain frequencies from the original tone. In this way it is a cousin to the Wah
pedal, but can cover all frequencies at the same time and can be used to shape your tone. EQ pedals
can also be used to cut off certain frequencies to avoid feedback and to boost your signal to
overdrive your amp.
Here are some EQ Pedals for your consideration:
The
Boss GE-7 Graphic
EQ pedal is the best seller of the bunch. Simple to use with 8 bands of EQ optimized
for guitar tones all in a rugged compact pedal. What more do you need?
The
Ibanez
BB9 Bottom Booster pedal is a marvel of simplicity with True Bypass circuitry. Give
your sound a fat bottom with balls, use it for a tube screamer tone, or add it to a distortion
pedal for some really interesting colors.
The
MXR M108 10
Band Graphic EQ has everything you want in an EQ pedal. Extreme control over the most
important frequency ranges and a huge amount of control over levels. This is the EQ that does it
all.
