Tom Bukovac's Boost and EQ Secrets

I have a Boss GE7, but it is a new one. The early version I had was a little noisy, depending on what you was using before it in the chain. My new one is virtually noiseless. Of all the effects and pedals i own I have to say this is the most important one. Just adds to something to your tone no matter what style you play. Just my opinion

“I love lo-fi totally goosed EQ’s” and they cut the mic. 😅

Boss Equalizer is now $120, maybe $75 used.

I must be lucky but my Boss GE-7 pedal is completely silent. In comparison, I have the MXR eq pedal, and that is noisy.

SOLD

The paddle is not $40, but it should be.

I use the Boss GE7 the same way, just a slight eq adjustment above the middle line for the 800 and the rest underneath... works great as my always on pedal.

Does anyone know where's exactly placed Boss EQ in pedal chain? This information will really help me 💪

The boss eq just adds a wonderful sheen to my whole sound whether boosting or just shaping. It was the most surprising pedal I ever plugged into.

I came back to the GE-7 as well. There’s a lot of cork sniffer stuff out there, but the Boss is just so useful

I've got the 10-band MXR. I'm gonna try this out!

Original GE-10 is a big component to the secret sauce of the brown sauce

Q: what's the mod? A: Oh they just make then quieter followed by: this one isn't even modded but I got a bunch that are. Tom Bukovac, ha ha ha ha, what a dildo.

He's absolutely right about the boss EQ , I use it to boost my MXR Fullbore Metal Pedal , it makes it sound so much better than on its own.

A great pedal on its own and also works well with other drive pedals!

he said the boss EQ pedal is a 40$ pedal HAHAHAHA yeah maybe it was 40$ 30 years ago, I just bought one a week ago and it was 120$ plus tax

Ha! I was right the famous Boss EQ ped is noizy!!! who pays for that? not I!

Show Gostei Brother Irado 🏴‍☠️🆙️🏴‍☠️
.

I see a Maxon/Ibanez PQ-9. That also is a great eq pedal!

yup!

Gotta love that eq mod comment.
Plot twist: his pedal isnt even modded

I had mine modded to be quieter be Analogman. GE7 into Zendrive=Nirvana.

Is it really “that” noisy? I know it depends on your rig.. but anyone have any insight on this? Thanks.

Thanks for sharing the knowledge.

I still have my old DOD version of the Boss.
👍👍

Legendas em português BR por favor!

well so much for always getting new pickups, like joe b says, use your knobs,

My analogman modded came in today. One guitar, one amp, can get through a whole show. Thinking about getting a second to have two presets. And it never hurts having an extra master level in the chain.

His playing is unbelievable. A friend got me hooked.

most useful pedal ever for any rig and music style...period

Hey PG, does he use the Boss EQ as a boost BEFORE or AFTER overdrives? Or is he just boosting the front end of a already crunchy amp? This info would be really helpful. It's not mentioned in the video.

Bukovac is a monster!

Does he uses the Boost/EQ before or after the overdrives?

From the early days Slash used that pedal to boost all his solos. It adds a lot of hiss though so it’s better in a rock context.

BEST Rig Rundown EVER.

The boss eq is what jake E Lee said he used as a boost pedal in his ozzy days and badlands, great minds think alike l see

I've been using a Boss GE-7 for years, and I've never had a problem with hiss....
Maybe the earlier ones were noisier.

YEP!

I'd not heard of him before but his playing and tone are amazing!

Crazy, i used to use a BOSS EQ as my boost pedal for solos, way back in the day, because that's all i had.

Thank you for this,been trying some stuff since you posted Toms rig rundown trying to get some of those tones with the gear i have.

This my favorite rig rundown ever

What's the mod "well, they just mod them and quiet them down"..."ohhh...". lol. Thanks for the tip, Tom!
