A seven-band graphic EQ in a compact pedal, with +/-15 dB on each band and a separate output level slider.
Watch
Daily Guitar's video on the GE-7 goes band by band through what each slider does, which is the clearest way to learn the pedal before using it live.
Why it matters
Six bands are peaking filters from 100 Hz to 3.2 kHz, with the 6.4 kHz band shelving — a layout that has kept this pedal on boards since 1981. The independent level slider lets you use it as a clean boost or an overall cut without touching the band sliders. Gearnews ranked it joint fifth among pedals by 2025 sales.
Note
Decades-old pedalboard staple that tied for fifth on Gearnews' best-selling pedals of 2025 list. Six peaking-filter bands plus a 6.4 kHz shelving band, with a separate level slider for overall boost or cut.
