A really powerful tool
I started using it when I realised that the beautiful tones I got from my guitars, amps and pedals at home had a tendency to get drowned when playing with my band.
I chose this equalizer after reading opinions on forums. I was looking for a affordable, simple yet effective equalizer, with a good build quality.
The GE-7 proved really effective at the task. Basically I use it only to make my tone sit nicely in the mix on rehearsals or gigs. I don't use it at home, because what I'm trying to do is to sound as good as home in a band context. I don't use it to create special sounds or to make my amp sound like another one, though it can certainly do that.
I would strongly recommend this unit to any guitarist playing in a band, especially if there are other midrange focused instruments. What works for me is : cut off 100HZ, slightly cut 200HZ, slightly boost 400HZ, slightly cut 800HZ, slightly boost 1KHZ, 3.2KHZ at unity or slightly below, 6,4HZ is basically the presence, so I adjust it depending on the amp and the context.
Building quality is what you expect from Boss.
Worth mentionning I didn't notice any coloration from the buffered bypass when the pedal is off.

an absolute must-have
Not many guitarists realize how significant an eq can be. But once you start using one, it al becomes clear. I bought mine to use with my fender telecaster standard usa. I felt the guitar needed some more low end and high tones trimming. And when this pedal came in it did exactly that with top grades. There really isn't much to it, you just plug it in, set the equalizer to a desired level and that's it. I like that it's simple. What i dont like is that these meters are extremely sensitive. You need to move the knob for like a smallest amount possible and the result is already very noticeable, so in some cases its quiet difficult to find and then keep this setting, especially if you use it for live shows. Just a touch of some cables on top of an eq can change its character drastically, so i advise some caution and second check after transporting it. Other than that, this pedal works superbly, and i cant play without it.

Pedalboard Standard
This is a classic swiss-knife pedal used by touring guitarists in a million different ways.
I personally use it as nuanced booster for leads, and have come up with settings for each of my guitars. The interface is simple, and the EQ is very musical.
My only grumble is that it's a little annoying that the inidividual band faders cannot somehow be locked in place, although there are very few problem in this world that cannot be solved with gaffer tape...

Great Pedal Universally Used
Many boards have this pedal and there is a reason for that, it’s compact, sounds great and can be used as a boost to push valve amps to their sweet spot as well as shaping the tone. I am a guitar player and I had one of these 20 years ago when I was gigging in lots of different rooms so this pedal is great for adjusting your tone depending on the acoustics of the gig. Also great for solo boosts and pushing the frequencies to get you heard without deafening your band members! A must have in my view and it’s great value!
The only real negative is that it can be a little noisy in some rooms

BOSS GE-7
BOSS GE-7 is a decent pedal if you want more control of your EQ, it's not as good as the graphic equalizers which are built in to amplifiers like Mesa Boogie Marks or Fryette Pittbulls. But it does the job fine. You can use it in front of the amp or in the effects loop if your amplifier has one. The seven band EQ gives you plenty of control. Personally I prefer to use it in the effects loop for a completely clean sound.
I didn't like it much with high gain because it induces a fair bit of noise and it's not transparent, it colors the sound a lot.
Quality is like all other BOSS pedals, it's built like a tank and will probably last for a lifetime.

This EQ is a must
I gave a 4 for Quality only because it will make a slight "hiss" if everything is on 100%. However, using normal settings to boost or decrease freq ranges does its job beautifully (no hiss or hum) and is quite potent. Every player should have such an external EQ on the pedal-board, and the GE-7 does its job perfectly well, for pros and for normal people.

Joker in the back pocket
A very versatile helper to keep in the pedal chain. Lets you get away with using unfamiliar gear at gigs or rehearsal rooms by boosting your overall signal in the desired direction. Or when everything's right without it, you can experiment with dialing in different sounds or simply use it as a boost pedal.
Warning - you might start liking your other pedals more by adding this in the mix.
The build and sound quality is top-notch. The sliders are quite sensitive though, and it can be a bit tricky to get the sound just right at first, but when you do, it really delivers.
Get it, use it, create your sound.

Rock solid Boss quality
Like any Boss pedal also this one is rock solid and build to last forever. The EQ clearly affects the sound like it should. Plus the extra power output makes this pedal all worth it.

I you don't have it get it.
Every guitar rig should have one, at least some EQ pedal, and if you want one, BOSS is just one of the best. It is very transparent and easy to use. If you like "simple" overdrives it is a must, heck, get two and the other one can be used to match almost any amp to your ears, well at least make it passable.
Just get one :D
Just get one :D
