Another cool eq (although probably priced way too high) is the Rockman guitar eq. That was one I shoukd have kept.
Cool. My friend had the Big Jam EQ in the late 80's and he lost it by the early 90's, so it's been over 30 years since I tried it. I'm glad my memory of it was somewhat accurateIn case anyone is still interested I have now this green Big Jam EQ pedal as well as their vintage delay/reverb and octaver pedal. They all have the same vibe: very organic like you said, very warm, vintage/old school, dark, but also kinda lo-fi, soft and weak/not muscle-y. They’re all cool pedals that I’ll keep for now, but I still prefer my vintage blue mxr & Boss GE-10 Graphic EQ’s. They have way more range in the eq, sound way more solid, punchy, hi-fi and still pretty organic to me (the mxr more so). The big jam is nice for cleans, but for high gain it’s the other 2 for me
The Big Jam Delay/Reverb is decent for a pedal, but sounds like trash vs the ‘70’s Furman RV-1. The Octave pedal has some interesting sounds in there. Lo-Fi in a cool way
I’ve wondered about that age part. I wasn’t born yet when that vintage stuff came out, so I wonder sometimes if those complaints about some gear pieces being “too bright” had more validity when they were new/fresh. If that’s true, I don’t even wanna know how an early ‘70’s Marshall would’ve sounded like back then LOLCool.

That’s what I have. It’s great. Good middle ground of my Boss GE-10 & Big Jam in what it doesThe MXR 10 band (the old blue one) is a great pedal, especially if you hand it over to Dave Friedman first for some mods to kill some noise.
