Sound Profile
The Behringer EQ700 provides precise control over your instrument’s tone by allowing you to boost or cut frequencies across seven bands. The available frequency bands cover a wide range, from 100Hz for low-end control to 6.4kHz for adjusting the highs. This makes it easy to either boost bass for a fuller sound, cut midrange to clean up muddy tones, or emphasize highs for more clarity and presence. It’s a useful tool for fine-tuning your tone, particularly in live performances where certain frequencies can clash or get lost in the mix. The Level control adds the ability to increase or decrease the overall volume, making the EQ700 a great tool for creating a solo boost or balancing levels across different setups.

Applications
The EQ700 is perfect for guitarists and bassists looking for greater control over their sound, whether for live performances or studio recording. The pedal can be used to:

  • Shape your tone by emphasizing or reducing specific frequencies
  • Eliminate feedback or unwanted frequencies in a live setting
  • Balance your sound when switching between different instruments or amp settings
  • Boost frequencies for solos or lead parts, giving them more presence in the mix
  • Enhance clean tones or improve the clarity of overdriven sounds

Its compact size and versatility make it a valuable addition to any pedalboard, whether you’re playing rock, blues, metal, or any other genre that requires precise tonal control.

Build Quality and Aesthetic
The EQ700 has a compact plastic chassis, which keeps it lightweight but may not be as rugged as metal pedals. The 7 sliders are responsive, allowing for easy, real-time adjustments. While it’s built to be affordable, the design is functional, with clear labeling and an intuitive layout. The bright yellow finish ensures it stands out on your pedalboard, and the LED indicator lets you know when the effect is active. The footswitch is responsive, providing smooth operation during live use.
