FX40-B Graphic EQ

I'm using a 1982  Les Paul custom with Burst bucker puck ups,thru a Planet waves tuner,Fulltone Clyde Deluxe,fulltone Full drive II,Fulltone Deja Vibe,MXR Phase 100,Pearl chorus and a Pearl Delay(old school!) I ran the eq at the end of the chain into a Marshall blues breaker. Not much problems as far as noise plus I didn't max any of the perimeters,but.....see below

The Switch was stuck in the "on" from the get go,meaning  you left it  on all the time. That was useless to me in  a live setting  as I did like the improvements it made ,giving a nice clean boost for solos and melody lines,but I do reqiure an option without Crushing my pedal board to shit it off, I had a tech geek open it up ,clean any gunk out of it,but still no luck,I assume any DOd pedal have a similar footswitch so they must go bad after any extended normal use. I used it last week but it never got used,seeing someone stomping like mad doesnt come across very professional for some reason......

Basic Equalizer,a no brainer there 7 bands does give you a bit more which is helpful. Maunel was 1 sheet I printed on line.

Ive been playing for close to 30 years and have gone through a lot of gear. I mostly playing classic rock,blues and Classic metal. I hope someone steals it but since I'll never gig with it no luck there. So i'll be looking for something compatible to the rest of my effects. for the price I cant bitch too much but still I needed it to work.

did i mention the sliders are sensitive? seems like the eq works well controlling low , mid & high ranges...not some bum lifeless sliders on an eq pedal like ive saw before... hisses when on & you arent playing...you can hear it wanting to break out of the silence & scream in your ears...turn it off & its fine with no noise at all... I use it as a boost for the most...Runs in front of amp...havent even tried the loop with it....

no probs... well built... Ive never read much about dod electronics going to crap...they have a lot of life in them....if yours sucks, then take it to a tech who can help you get it working properly...

easy to use> sliders are sensitive...great frequency shaping... on/off switch works fine

? id prolly trash it before id call & put up with automated phone shit , or to sit around while some monkey fingers his ass trying to decide what to do with my pedal for 3 or 4 weeks....heh...id buy another on ebay for the price to ship it to these fucks & have it hooked in my line within 5 days....lmfao !! customer support always sucks....dont matter who they are

get one... for what it is...theres not much else that can beat it...not like ive tried a bunch...for what youd want in an eq pedal , this one gives satisfaction in its purpose... heck , get 2 of them & give one to me so I'll have a backup... Im a pedal whore....& thats that.... in regard to a lot of ratings here at harmony central effects database...theres a lot of you fucktards that dont know your head from a hole in the ground when it comes to rating some of these pedals...no offense meant...just saying some of you (& you know who you are) need to sit down & shut the fuck up about reviews...your moronic shit could mislead others when they're researching to buy new pedals...idiot fucks....
