GE-7 Sniper EQ

I use this as a pre-distortion EQ. So my chain goes guitar->GE-7 Sniper->Bad Monkey->Weeping Demon->Rivera Knucklehead->Effects Loop Out->Tuner->Danelectro Chorus->Dan-Echo->Morley Volume->Effects Loop Return. Before I modded this pedal I would have rated it about a 6 because it's usable in a jam situation but much too hissy for a live or studio application. After the mod, I have to rate it a 10 because it is now very quiet and can be used in any application. Pre-distortion EQ is essential in dialing in good tones and this little pedal with the mod works perfectly for this.

It's an EQ, pretty simple.

Very good pedal. It took me about 2 hours to do the mod. Mainly because I had a hard time getting the solder off with the solder braid before I figured out that it works better if you stretch the braid out a little bit beforehand. The instructions were easy to follow and I didn't have any problems at all. I got a little bit of a scare when I was done, I plugged the pedal in and turned my amp on and no sound. I then realized that one of my patch cables had come loose from another pedal, plugged it back in and everything worked like a charm.

Wow.... it's been said already. The best Eq on the market comes from the hands of Kevin. I have two of these. I keep one in the studio I work out of, and the other on my board. You can jack up anyone of the faders, and it will still sound great. There sooo many benefits and uses: A. Great booster pedal. Great for solos, try dialing in a good middy boost on a stock pedal... see how much it "helps". The Sniper Mod really allows this thing to work it's magic. B. Line Driver... I love the way people look at me when I tell them I run 16 pedals in my chain... they get a look at my board and say "how the hell do you keep your noise down, and your signal so clear?" They always skip over the little black box with the blue light when they try to figure out what it is. C. Most amps have a signature sound to them. Marhshall sounds like a Marshall, a Mesa, will like a Mesa... This pedal will give you an oppurtunity to make your own sound... the sound in your head, that you can never get from most amps. THIS is the best part of this pedal. D. Great studio tool. When we can't get something to sit right in the mix... we plug this baby in and notch out some stuff... or use some low end to fill something out. Great for RE-AMPING. All around the best stompbox style EQ... ballsy, clean, punchy. The pedal gets the BEST SUPPORTING STOMPBOX AWARD ... because my sound would suck balls without it. 

I don't know that I have ever seen a broken Boss pedal in person. Kinda makes you think.

Any EQ takes time to get used to. I give it a 9 because it's much easier to get a good sound then the stock version.

Kevin is the man... he's quick to back, helpful and great person. He will help you out with whatever you need. He is even willing to try custom mods.

Bottom Line... if something is missing in your sound, and you can't put your finger on it, get a used GE-7 of ebay or HC, send it to Kevin, and start thinking about what you want to do with your rig. You will have a hard time remembering how you got by without this pedal mod.
