The Secret Weapon You’ve Been Ignoring!

EQ Pedal Shootout | Golden Age of Gear Ep. 44

This week, Joey and Derek go deep on one of the most underrated tools on your board — EQ pedals.
What started as a “clean boost side quest” turned into a full-blown shootout between classics, mods, and a few surprises.

The guys compare the legendary Boss GE-7, the XTS and Analog Man mods, the bargain-bin Behringer EQ700, the Earthling Designs Preamp, and of course the wild Chase Bliss Condor.
From subtle tone-shaping to straight-up sonic surgery, they find out which one actually makes your rig sound better — and which one just adds noise.

Along the way there’s LaCroix, shameless self-promotion, some serious nerding about frequencies, and one or two jokes at each other’s expense.

Grab a drink, turn it up, and hang out — because it turns out EQ pedals are way more fun than anyone admits.
