GE-10 where have you been all my life??

[Kapo_Polenton]

After years of wanting one, I finally pulled the trigger on a late 70's GE-10. Holy $hit the hype is real! It kicks total ass. If you have a modded amp or even a stocker, this thing sounds like a natural extension of the amp. None of that super hi fi sterile coloring you get with eq pedals. It just sounds so natural. I would say there is a reason it is as highly regarded as the PQ3 in tone folklore. If this is on VH1 or 2, I can see where that grind is coming from. You put this on a cranked plexi and it is going to tighten just right and give you that much more. So good. Can't wait to try this with the RR disto+ I ordered. This might just become my boost pedal.

Yup. Now you know....

Dude this is a great piece . I honestly even think this and the boss 10 band advanced eq are the best tone sculptors on earth . I have a lot of eqs

Have you tried the old blue MXR's? Any magic to those?

Lots of magic and mojo

I’m not a fan of any mxr eqs because the Boss ones I have .

I've had 2 GE 10s. They are the best EQ pedals I've tried. I sold them because my OD1X sounded damn near identical, when I set the GE 10 where I wanted. And the OD1X was far quieter.

I have two of them, and agree with everything that the OP said, regarding sounding like an extension of the amp, and tightening things up perfectly.

I'm so giddy I might pick up another if I find a good one. This is the pedal BOSS should reissue

So is it like a whole different animal than the GE7?

Yup. GE-7 is good but always sounds transistory or like it sits on top of the sound. The GE-10 just extends every frequency in a very natural way. Instantly you notice it.

I don't understand why they haven't done that. It's a no brainer.

What voltage do you use?

 

[acceptance]

What do y’all think is a good price and what condition?

The perfect tool for dialing in your tone! May as well bolt it down to the top of your amp

I have two, just in case one breaks.

slightly off topic, any love for the newer Boss EQ-200? I recently got the Ibanez Pentatone EQ, but the boost is only +/- 6 db; the EQ-200 has +/- 15 db.

I have it and I very much enjoy it.

some of the praise of the vintage GE-10 is analog, and not sterile digital. I'd prefer something that doesn't color the tone other than my EQ settings. What are your thoughts?



I noticed there's a price drop on the EQ-200 - not sure if that means a new version or they're not selling...I may pick one up.

I can't speak to analog vs digital, so much of my rig is digital I couldn't possibly identify anything specific to the pedal there.

I like it because of the dual mono routing and the MIDI control.
