@@marekgliniecki Actually if you keep the level really low and crank the amp up. You can use it almost like an attenuator and in that the hiss not that bad. Try it.
@@marekgliniecki if you trying to use it like a boost pedal yes its gonna disappoint you because it was not intended for that purpose. But nice mod and video.
Which op-amp did you choose for the Mod? I chose MUSES 8920D for my GE-7 and I also swapped three capacitors to WIMA film capacitors. If BOSS choose better op-amp, this pedal will be better. (Better means better sound with short battery life)
Eddy Van Halen would have loved this EQ,, sell a new design to MXR!! They need this. I bought a EQ and took it back because it was to noisy. Now I use xotic super sweet and EP booster
These demos make me want to do this mod!
The hiss is there but not that bad as shown in the video.
Possibly will be heard during recording while micing the cab.
Haven’t tried that
It is that bad in all units

What changes did you do in this mod...? I would like to do the same to my boss ge7
Changing the chips
@@lexist7 What chips did you switch to exactly? You really nailed it with this mod!
Amazing noise floor difference! I want to mod mine/change the chips like you did. Can you share what chips you put in yours? Thanks, Sean
I think this one was with 5532s
@@marekgliniecki Awesome, thanks for replying 👍

I can't believe Boss is still selling them with those noisy cheapo ICs. Wouldn't cost so much more to put decent ones in there, would it?
No, but maybe they would suggest to buy a BOSS NS-2 ;)
if they come out that bad from factory, i'll look at other brands. that sucks. very clear difference.
But that is what makes them work longer with battery. A simple trade-off. I would go with upgraded boss- best you can get.
Just got a cheap berhinger EQ pedal does exactly the same including the unwanted noise
Learn to solder
Does the hiss only occur when the amp is cranked? Such a well known pedal! Does it hiss at low/home amp volume?
theres nothing wrong with his amp. all ge-7's do this, add noise even if you CUT. modding involves installing lower noise ic's
Quel modification à été faite ? On en sais pas plus finalement...
Is it the chips, or do the caps have better filtering off the high end?
Chips
made in Japan vs Taiwan . The Japanese one is better. Then if you modded both Japanese modded vs Taiwan modded. Would Japanese mod be better ??
That is so you will buy a noise gate hehe
Does it still sound like a GE7 after the mod?
