Looking for a Boss GE-7

f-r90 · 07-19-2012, 12:53 PM

Hey guys, I'm looking for a Boss GE-7 graphic eq to use with my jubilee. If anybody wants to sell one please contact me!

Just a suggestion....the Monte Allums modded GE-7 is awesome. The GE-7 can be noisy stock, but the mod makes it super quiet. It's worth the extra money to keep the noise down.

can you tell me more about this mod? where can I get it done as I have noticed that the GE-7 is indeed noisy.

I just sold mine on here last week to BRP. It wasn't noisy at all. It was a fairly recent model made in Taiwan IIRC.

I sent mine to Monte Allums. He modded and sent it back. No issues at all and a great improvement.

Ok great man I'll check it out.
Since it's noisy without the mod/stock, how does the GE-7 compare to the MXR M108? I'm just looking to use it as a lead boost with the jube, maybe also as a mid boost.

Looks awesome but is he based in America?
I am from Australia so that sucks! It would cost me way more to send it over there and get him to send it back

Well that's good to hear. I never thought to ask, just jumped on the deal!

I imagine the noise reported might be coming from some pretty severe boosting?

I plan to cut with mine more than boost, especially in the highs where added noise from boosting would be most prominent.
I'll add a bump at 400 and 800hz no doubt but will surely cut @ 3.5

With a compressor in a high gain tone you will also get more hiss or noise.

I do a version of this mod as well , i call it the " Blue Sky Mod " !
And the difference is huge afterwards !!

It consists of removing all the cheap Boss caps & Op amps !

Hey Grogs,
There must be somebody near you who does pedal mods.

I got my GE7 a 'quiet' mod here in NZ. I'm pretty sure there was more than one supplier offering the service.

Also I'm pretty sure they just did exactly what HotTubes mentioned - i.e. replace some cheap parts with quality parts.
