Anyone have experience with this pedal?

I don't have any experience with it but I'm not sure why you'd go for this when things like GE-7's or FX40B's have more features and can be had for less money.

didn't you read the ad? cuz dimebag used it, duh.

For rel though, I agree with leaves on this one. Unless you have a blue themed board, might as well get a dod or a used boss.

Because it's vintage - and there is something about vintage equipment that I like. The tones and how they affect the overall sound..
I would be running it through a solid state randall head..
Yeah, and dimebag and evh used them...

A guy in my band sometimes uses a 10 band MXR like that, pretty cool stuff. I've never felt the need for one myself, but there's pretty cool. I agree, blue pedals are cool.....

1980s isn't really the "vintage tone era" in my opinion. Also, I don't think a vintage eq vs modern would be any different if the frequencies are the same. I have played a newer ten band and instantly fell in love.

If it has the Kerry King tribal shit on it, you know it's good

It'll certainly be noisier, suck more tone and probably fail faster without servicing than a modern EQ pedal... but otherwise it'll be the same!

I have one of those, bit noisy and the lack of switch/ power/ led is a pain in the ass. I don't think I'd recommend it over anything with mod cons tbh.

that's what blue paint is for

Yeah, I would have to get a noise gate. Fuck all that...
Even though it's blue...
My search goes on...

Buy a JOYO EQ, it's the same thing for cheap with the added bonus of LED sliders and a battery compartment door.
