Boss GE-7 with Analogman Graphic EQ Pro mod
Also had Analogman upgrade the standard LED with their "Super Bright (Red) LED" option
* Note - I thought they may have made a mistake and installed a clear color LED (as that's what it looks like in the photo), but it does indeed light up bright Red when you turn it on.

The GE-7 is a very popular EQ pedal. But it can add some noise if you move the sliders away from the center. Even bringing a slider DOWN will add noise, try it! Our mod replaces three chips with the King of Tone chip, which is a low noise chip designed for tone controls, so it's perfect in this application. We also change a bunch of cheap capacitors used for tone control to high grade metal film caps. This lowers noise and improves tone. We also move the frequency of the lowest 100Hz slider up a bit, as it's too low for normal guitar use. The chips we use take about 40% more power (goes from 16mA to 23mA), so a battery will not last as long, better to use a power supply. A normal alkaline battery will still last over 15 hours, so you can still use batteries if you want.
VOLTAGE : The stock GE-7 can not be run over 15V. We modify it so it will run fine on 18V, which will give even more clarity and headroom to the pedal.
Before the mod, the pedal has a slight honkiness and the highs are a bit dull. After the mod, the SNAP is back in your playing- the transients and highs sound a lot better. And of course there is less noise.
Thanks to the people on the diystompboxes forum who posted info on modding this pedal. We used their ideas and tweaked it a bit to make it the best sound for the price. We can modify the oldest Japanese or more recent (but not SMT) GE-7 pedals.
We can also install a super bright LED in different colors
Price - $Sold
