EQ pedal time...

[indysmith]

my behringer is really noisy in front of my amp, and the same goes for _tom_, but he has an effects loop, and when his behringer is in that it is dead quiet apparently. how did yu test out these pedals? in front of or in the loop of?

I tried these pedals direct in front of various Orange heads in the shops i went into.

Now I'm using the MXR 6EQ in front of my Marshall JMP50 Master Volume.

A few pointers that might help you out. If you want good pedals they cost a lot of money! but it's well worth saving it up, cos they last forever. I used to own the GE7, and I found that it sounded very tinny and thin. I recommend going for something like the MXR 10 band, or an electro Harmonix pedal as they are very musical and warm sounding. The GE7 was very very noisy, from my experience. Do your homework before you buy any pedals.

Same thing happened to me with the behringer eq700.
It was so noisy in front of the amp that I thought about returning it, but then played it in the fx loop and it was quiet as a mouse.

I'm lucky enough to have an Antelope Morning Dew EQ, which is now worth about twice what I bought it for as they were discontinued after only 116 were made.

I like the look of the Barber, that might be worth checking out.

here is the latest update on this subject.

this morning, my Behringer EQ700 appeared in the post in a small black parcel. the reason i chose the Behringer is because of the reviews and my experience with my GM108 modeling amp, which has a fairly responsive EQ itself. my confidence with Behringer again has not been let down.

I put it in between my Les Paul tuned to dropped C and my GM108 and it sounded ok, the eq change wasn't very noticeable, it was slightly noisy, and just there wasn't a big change.
BUT THEN i put it in the effects loop of my Marshall MG250DFX with my Dean Razorback, and OH MY GOD! i haven't noticed a change this big in my rig since i got the damn Marshall!!!!!! the distortion is provided by my Zoom 505II, by the way.

The EQ is REALLY responsive. if you move a slider 1mm, you can already hear a significant change in the tone. i mainly bought it to destroy the annoying top end of the marshall, and i just put the 2 highest sliders down about 2mm and it was gone!!!! i also added 1mm of mids and 1mm of bass and i created a METAL MONSTER of tone. the only downside is that you can still hear the Marshall MG sound, which is only expected, hence why i am buying a Laney.
Also, in the effects loop JUST AS _tom_ said, it is completely silent unless you put the sliders up over halfway, which would kill your tone from the responsiveness anyway.
So, im sure i will buy more Behringer products in the future, and i am VERY happy with this pedal, thanks to all who contributed to this thread!!

a very happy BM

another vote on that front. put in the effects loop  lowered the noise level heaps.

My EQ700 sucks big time outside the loop. Its responsive but really noisey.
