I'm looking to buy a cheap EQ pedal for home use that is decent. Any recommendations? I was looking at the Behringer, which is dirt cheap so I am a little hesitant. Other ideas??

will you uses this in the FX loop, or in front of the amp?

behringer is very noisy in front of the amp.

never tried the dan electro EQ, but it gets good comments on here and is cheap.

best EQ pedal i ever used (and still use regularly) is the Boss GE-7 with Monte Allums 'plus' mod. if you need a serious EQ pedal, i highly recommend saving and getting that.

if you dont like modding, the MXR one is probably about the best commercial EQ.

Save up and get a GE-7.

Or really save up and get a Pultec. PDT_008

i have a behringer. horrible pretty much. Pretty noisy in front, and the bypass is just abysmal.

I will just be using it in front of my EVJ at home. I am trying to brighten it up a bit as that amp can be quite dark. I figure the best way to do that is EQ.
Unfortunately, since I am only noodling around at home right now, I don't want to drop much money on one.

probably get the danelectro then:

twinfan recommend it some time ago. if you want cheap one can hardly argue at that price.

Thanks a lot!!

I have the MXR 10 band EQ pedal and its great, much better than the behringer

its not terribly cheap, but not terribly expensive, and if you want to do some extremely detailed eqing this is the thing for a rack set up http://www.bbesound.com/products/equalizers/EQA231/index.asp

Wow, that's a bit more than what I am looking for right now! :lol:
Looks awesome though.

MXR 6-Band EQ.

You need nothing else.

I've got the DOD FX40B 8 -band eq for $35 , and am quite pleased with the quality and quietness for the money It did wonders for my tone Good luck in chosing!

I use an mxr 6 band, sounds good in the FX loop, although there can be quite a bit of hiss. also sounds great straight into the amp in front of a distortion pedal.

If you want to brighten up an EVJ you'll ultimately need to mod it. The Danelectro Fish N Chips is a decent enough EQ to try first though.

A set of JJ valves also helps the amp's tone quite a bit. A cheap tweak too as there are only 2 of them :)

Boss EQ20

Not so much 'cheap' as 'awesome'.
