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.

Not so good!!!
This pedal was a bit of a disappointment for me. I didn't really like the finish of the plastic casing, and it was a little rough around the edges, although on a dark stage this will not really matter. Also the sliders did not all move with the same feel - some were easily moved while others offered a little more resistance. This could be a problem if you tend to set-and-forget as the sliders could move between gigs.
On the plus side, the pedal does what it is supposed to do and has a good sound with little noise. There are eight bands as opposed to the usual seven and the level control provides a useful boost facility. For the money it's probably worth it if you can ignore the small faults.

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.

Prone to clipping
Box, switch and sliders feel fairly sturdy. Would have liked to see a stronger center detent in the middle posistion of each slider.
Sliders are hard to read on a dark stage, this makes it a little useless to EQ out room resonance on the stage and more suited to boost an amp or drive pedal with preset settings.
Works fine for scooping out frequencies after a drive pedal but is prone to clipping when driven too hard by a pedal before it.

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.
