A great preamp for double bass!
I use this as a preamp for my double bass. It has a 1 MOhm piezo-friendly input impedance and the bands are centered pretty close to those of the GK 800RB eq section. I play in one pretty loud band that does mostly roots/country/americana stuff: always a good sound and feedback is never a problem for me. My pickup is similar to K&K's Bassmax btw..
I bought a spare, just in case, but it's still sitting in it's box. The first one that I got more than eight years ago still does it's job. And I bought it second hand.
Hard to beat.

Contrary to negative reviews, it's good
I took a gamble buying this EQ pedal. Initially I was looking at MXR 10band EQ and some other pedals I won't mention, but there was a day in which Thomann offered free shipping to my country, so I took a chance with it.
When I first saw it, it looked and felt really sturdy. The housing of the pedal is no joke, you can stomp on it and the switch is really really pleasant, compared to other more expensive pedals. The bands do click when you're at 0db, just not as hard as you'd be expecting, so it's easy to go over the neutral position. They also go quite high on boosting, more so than you might need for real-world application. I use it to boost mids and presence for lead sections on guitar, running through a Marshall JCM 900, it does the job perfectly. No problems whatsoever. The signal doesn't seem to be distorted when it's off, at least not from what I noticed (although I didn't investigate this thoroughly).
All in all, I recommend this pedal for your bedroom, practice or small gig playing. It will do the job and then some more, being durable and sturdy with a good switch.

This is what helps you get that desired sound
Especially useful if you have an amp without bass/mid/treble-knobs. It has 7 switches for different frequencies so you can tweak it really specifically. The switches lock softly at the middle point, which is great, then you don't have to look at what you're doing, you automatically know where you're at. The gain switch on the right side is useful when you want that extra punch, really good booster. Pedal can be used as an overall booster as well in the FX loop. Really versatile and great price/quality, goes well with other pedals

Fantastic adition to my rig
A very solid feeling metal construction with a plastic backing. The EQ sliders are plastic, and very low profile, with a good amount of resistance. Seems like it would be very difficult to accidentally move them while playing. With them being so close its a bit fiddly to set them all up.
It adds adds absolutely no noise. With the sliders set neutral I cant hear any difference with the pedal on or off. It offers great tone shaping abilites, and works very well as a boost.
Currently I'm using it as a telephonic effect. I am highy considering buying more of them for boost and tone shaping. The thing is way to versitile to just have one.

Very dependable EQ, great value
For the price, this is a fantastic EQ pedal. It's not too big of a footprint either, as I only use a small pedal board, so it's very useful. 7 bands is more than enough for what I need and the gain switch is really useful as a simple boost also. I use this with a Fender Deluxe Reverb which doesn't have any mid control so this pedal is really useful. The faders are quite sturdy toop which helps with feeling your way around if needing to tweak and settings on a dark stage. Very recommended.

Have it both ways
Solid little brick. Great as a band pass eq for on stage production but it really shines in front of your favourite drive giving you an extra string per drive OR a nice clean boost mid boost low boost.
8 bands are honestly more than enough and it holds up against its pricier counterparts.

Can't fault it
There's really nothing to fault about this pedal. Structurally it's very well designed, and it doesn't seem to diminish my sound in any way.
The sliders don't protrude very high above the case which is great as it keeps them out of harms way, pretty much everything on it is made of metal and feels very solid.
The range of the EQ allows you to boost and cut frequencies enough to make a big difference, but it's still possible to make fine adjustments. I've found on other graphic EQ pedals that the range is too extreme and moving the sliders even a fraction can change the sound more than you want. They got this one just right.
Overall a great pedal, and the price is right.

Good Affordable Option
I bought this pedal in order to see if I really need an EQ pedal in my chain, and was thinking to maybe get a better one if it's the case. I kept it. I doesn't look like it's going to last a very very long time, but for the price you could just buy a new one.
If you're thinking about an EQ and don't wanna invest too much, give this a try.

solid EQ
This EQ does exactly what it is supposed to do. The case is made of metal and build quality seems solid. The sliders are easy to move and able to maintain their position. Also they lock when put in neutral position (except volume slider).
Unless volume is put on really high levels this eq doesn't put much noise to the signal. The bypass has almost no influence on the sound either. This pedal can be used as a boost aswell when cranking the level up although dedicated boosters might produce less noise.
As for reliability i can't say much but mine hasn't had any issues so far (bought it about one year ago).

Exactly what I was looking for
I use a pod hd into a marshall JVM FX return and I was looking for a bit of extra control in between the pod and the marshall to take out some fizz and add some fatness, this does the job perfectly. Very happy with it
