Mxr M108S Ten Band Graphic EQ

Description

<p>The MXR Ten Band Graphic EQ pedal provides guitarists with enormous tone and sound level shaping capabilities in a bulletproof enclosure. This pedal has been updated with a noise reduction circuit, true bypass switch, a lightweight aluminum case, and a second output so you can have 2 separate signal lines. Thanks to the 10 carefully chosen frequencies and both INPUT GAIN and OUTPUT VOLUME controls, you can optimize the sound of your bass or guitar in any room in seconds.</p><p>- Cut or boost 10 different frequencies by +- 12dB<br /> - High visibility LEDs even in direct sunlight<br /> - 18 Volts for greater headroom<br /> - 2 Outputs for two separate signal chains<br /> - Low noise floor<br /> - True Bypass Switch</p> <h3><strong>Here's Riccardo Gioggi's opinion:</strong></h3><p>Impressions after several tests, I might seem "hyped" but <strong>I'll say it anyway</strong>: I don't know if there's a pedal that more than this one should be on everyone's pedalboard, guitarists and bassists alike! It's a super efficient Swiss army knife, it solves a ton of problems in the studio, it's intuitive to use (provided you already know what interventions are needed and have a fairly accurate ear) and it's bright like a Christmas tree, which is very important on stage if you need to make adjustments on the fly.</p><p>Between the guitar and amp, with all sliders at zero (so virtually not cutting or boosting any frequency) it is almost totally transparent, it slightly cuts at <strong>4khz</strong>, but just moving the 4khz band up slightly is enough to fill the gap, with this minimal precaution the pedal is totally transparent. Which means that the sound quality is decidedly high, "at rest" it doesn't color the sound in any way. The 18v over-powering also contributes to this.</p><p>The sliders are very sensitive and allow you to go from small changes to drastic variations with very little movement. Fabulous for adapting the sound of pedals to any amplifier. It has a nice high output volume, and as I thought, it's easily usable as a transparent booster. I also used it in the studio, while I was at it, to record a bassist and it also gave excellent results on the bass, it really changed the outcome of that session, I got the right sound easily and in fewer steps. The bassist was clearly really surprised by this EQ.</p><p>The dual output allows you to drive two amplifiers simultaneously, another very useful gem. It also works perfectly on acoustic guitar, by the way. A pedal of incredible usefulness and quality!</p> <p><iframe width="1280" height="720" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/C4dynYQUIms" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></p><p><iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/adTRin6cu6U" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
