Hi all
anyone use or tried a Behringer EQ700 pedal? Im looking to try and shape my sound a little more and much as i like the zoom G7 i feel it could do with a little help EQ wise. These Behringer pedals sem to get a good write up and this particular pedal is available locally for £22!!
regards
Ian

Hi Ian.
I have over the last 2 weeks had this very pedal on trial and very impressed with it. On the Squire HM it has been able to add more depth to the sound. Make sure you do get the right one, there are two, one for the bass and one for guitar. For the octs, it defo worth it.
Tony

Hi Tony I had hoped you might reply to this, knowing how much you like the behringer gear. your recommendation will do for me. The one i have seen is the yellow one and there is no mention of bass so i presume it is one and the same pedal. £22  gotta be worth it thanks Tony regards Ian |

Hi Ian.
Both are yellow, so be careful! The bass is named BEQ700, but thats all you see. The bass version is cheaper at £25 thats why i mentioned it.
Some guys have said there noisy. I have not found that. I do connect it before anything else, so it could be the chain being used freaked it out. I have not encountered any noise. It can get noisy if you use the level above zero (dead centre).
Setting wise left to right:
1 BELOW 0.
1 after 0.
2 after 0'
2 below +5.
2 after 0.
ZERO (DEAD CENTRE)
1 AFTER -15
I never run it with the right level control above 0.
Tony

There are two 700's, both yellow. The guitar is EQ700 and the bass is BEQ700. The bass is a lot cheaper, don't know why. I have known folk to get mixed up thats why i mentioned it, plus I have both pedals in front of me and can see why. Tony |

There is only one EQ700 model ! Didier |

Hi Tony
can you expand on the settings?
e.g. what does 2 after +15 mean?
thanks Stan

Hi Ian/Tony,
Like Ian,I would also like to get a more "solid" sound from my G7.
Please excuse my ignorance on these matters,but would the EQ700 be better placed before going into the G7 or after?
Many Thanks,
Garry.

Hi Tony Well done for clarifying the 2 models, at a quick glance they look almost identical, it would be very easy to buy the wrong one BEQ700  EQ700 |

Hi Tony can you expand on the settings? e.g. what does 2 after +15 mean? thanks Stan Hi Stan. My mistake, it should be 2 BELOW + 15  If you look at the photo Robert has posted you have: + 15 0 - 15 It is these numbers that I used. Hope that now helps better. Tony |

Hi.
The reason why i mentioned the bass version is that I know a few guys have bought the wrong one. The bass version is about £25 and the guitar is approx £45. So when I saw Ian mention £22, I duly pointed out to be careful. On the Behringer site it lists only the guitar version on the guitar stomp box page. So you go into the shop and ask the young lad for the EQ700 and he gives you the wrong one, it looks the same cos it's yellow. You get home and whoops!
So rather than letting anyone trust the guy at the dealers to give you the right pedal I pointed out that is was easy to get mixed up and get the wrong one.
Tony

Hi Guys
I think some of you are taking Tony's settings and mistaking for example ONE as one mark on the 0 to 15 scale which is actually 5 as there are 3 marks i.e 5 10 and 15 above (or below) zero.
I have asked Tony to clarify this as my configuration looks very different from the photo posted above. That's if I have interpreted it correctly. ??
Hope it makes sense.
Regards
George.

Hi George, I think you are probably right At the time of taking the photo,I had only just bought the pedal,and had not yet had a chance to play with it. After connecting it up,and I hope that I got it right,the sound from the settings shown on the second picture,were not too impressive.However,when playing around with it,the difference in sound was clearly noticeable,with a distinct difference in volume. Any advice on settings will be really appreciated.(Hope all's well) ;D Best Wishes, Garry. |

Hi Garry All is well thanks. Hi All I have set the EQ700 up using the method below. It sounds GREAT so well done and Thanks for that Tony. It would be easier if the numbers quoted where from the scale on the device e.g -4 +7 -3 +12 etc. Easy peasy then ;D Using the Eq700 in this way has greatly improved the sound from my Vox AC4 by taming the Vox brightness and changing it to into a more mellow (Shadows) pleasing sound. Brilliant upgrade !! George |

Garry you asked a Question above that I just spotted. Its a matter of taste however in my view You should place the EQ700 before the Zoom otherwise you will be changing the EQ of the echoes. Once again a matter of choice. I run mine as follows. Boss TU2 Tuner, Morley Volume Pedal, EQ700 , Magic Stomp, Vox AC4 Amp. George. |

Hi Guys
I have use'd behringher gear the v-amp is very good (used to be in my main stage rig) but i have now changed to a company called BIYANG . There pedals are superb and they were just about the same price a the behringher stuff (the well known auction site open bid) but prices have risen slightly as they get such a good write up .
They have a very good eq 7 pedal and its excellent i use a lot of there pedals (had more expensive ones and sold them as these sound just as good) there tube screamer is very good where you can change the internal chips to suit yourself and best of all they are all true bypass so it dosent affect your tone in any way .
OH just thought i would mention im nothing to do with the company just a satisfied user the chorus pedal is to die for lol check them out guys you pay a bit more but they blow the behringher stuff away .
Cheers
Gary

Hi Gary
just been looking at these Biyang pedals. im all for plugging products that have proved themselves and im not remotely bothered about the brand as long as it does what it is meant to do. however, the eq pedal is more then twice as expensive as the behringer version i have just bought. how much better can an eq pedal be i wonder? also, however good they are, i dont think i could live with the appearance of some of them ;D a bit bright for me
regards
Ian

If your worried about "noise" have a look at these cgi.the well known auction site.co.uk/BOSS-GE-7-GRAPHIC-EQUALISER-HUSH-HUSH-MOD-GE7-EQ-/280701492475?pt=UK_Guitar_Accessories&hash=item415b1cdcfb#ht_809wt_905 I've got one & although it's more than the Behringer/Biyang pedals mentioned here it's well worth it in my opinion.....and there is a load of other tasty stuff from the same seller Cheers Dick. |

Sorry Stan, This should be clearer and more accurate Garry. That is exactly how I set it up. Good photo Garry  What I have tried to do is to provide my own settings which I use on a HM Squier to knock some of the brightness off and give the guitar sound more depth. This does NOT mean it will be fine for anyone else's gear, it was just an example. I also do not suffer noise issues. There are other alternatives, but the fact remains if care is taken and you use the EQ700 correctly then it will perform well and a whole lot cheaper than all other alternatives. Hope that helps.

Hi Dick
thats an interesting link. maybe something or someone to bear in mind with other noisy gear
Hi Tony
I shall be sitting down with the headfones on when i get mine and spend a few hours fiddling. it is free postage so im not expecting it until towards the end of the week but hopefully it will give me what im looking for. to be honest im expecting mine to look a lot less of a curve with possibly only a few small changes but until i get it who knows. thanks again guys
