I read the reviews and couldn't believe that this little "Dano" pedal would be worth it's weight in dog doo.....
But let me tell you.... This thing is amazing.
I have a full on high-end rig used for recording/rehearsing/performing. It has an amp with a 3band EQ and pedals with several different ways of adjusting the EQ. So it has never been an issue to find my tone with those adjustments. However, my secondary set-up is a very rare and unique set up. It's a 1953 1x12 cab with a 1950 US Navy tube amp head. What the heck is that? It's an all-tube amplifier used by the US Navy to run projection equipment (for whatever purpose...?) I am using it stock. It has only a 2-band EQ. That's a dial for bass and a dial for treble. The cab is a 1952 Victrola projector speaker box that I put a 1957 Rola speaker into. Got the speaker from a 1958 Hammond Organ. This thing sounds amazing. Warm and has a beautiful break up if you crank it.
I finally added some delay and reverb pedals to the mix and decided it was time to start honing in my tone.... It was impossible to get rich dynamics with just the 2-band EQ. So began my search for a good EQ pedal.
Lots of looking around lead me to this little wonder.
Plugged it in last night and was just amazed. First thing I noticed: It actually CLEANED up my amp! I don't have to rely on the amp volume as heavily.... So I could turn it down a little and turn the volume up on the EQ. Brilliant. Then, of course, the EQ settings..... I got to hear, for the first time, some mid-range in this amp! I don't use much of that, but nice that it's there if I want it! This pedal gave me nice deep lows and crisp highs. And all that talk about it being noiseless (or at least VERY LOW noise) are all TRUE!! This pedal could also be used just as a gain boost.
The quality of this pedal surprised me. It's heavy. The sliders feel great. Sturdy. The stomp-button does not have that nice tactile click to it. But it has a nice feel anyway. The red indicator light is bright. The finish of the pedal is nice. Glossy and actually nice looking. The look and color works well with the other pedals I am using. (Peavey SRP-16 Stereo Reverb, TC Alter Ego Delay, Morley Volume, MXR Dyna Comp. Keeps the whole set up "vintage looking."
If you're on the fence about "lowering yourself" to the level of this pedal, have no fear. This thing is exactly as-advertised. Great, clean, cheap EQ.
Look smart. Buy this thing.

Fantastic value.
10 years old and still ticking. By far, the best "bang for your buck" pedal out there. Mine is noiseless but if you have a high gain amp, it will obviously boost the amps noise. The only eq I know of right now that is noiseless regardless of amp is a modded mxr eq and those start a 200, so..paint it if you don't like the color, rehouse it if you don't like the box, mod it if it's noisy and you'll still come out cheaper than the mxr.
