Question 1

these days i play exclusively clean, mostly with my fingers. my gear is great, but am looking to remove sibilance from my tone. any opinions?

Accepted Answer

I'm guessing your speaking about playing an acoustic guitar, so that is what I will address... I bought this GE-7 to get rid of some nasty frequencies in the mid range of my acoustic guitar set up. Many piezo - electric pick-ups mounted under the saddle tend to over amplify the high frequencies, (string noise, tininess) and it can be tough to dial it out without adversely effecting your over all tone. Give this pedal a try, the GE-7 is bullet proof, and sounds very musical to the ear. Just start by dropping the 6.4k band by 5 dB or so. Small adjustments can make a huge difference.  Experiment, have fun and remember that nobody can really tell what sounds perfect to you, but you. I hope this helps.

Question 2

Will the EQ pedal work on an acoustic electric guitar, and does it make a lot of hiss noise?

Accepted Answer

Its not super noisy, the better the cables,  the less noise.

Question 3

What is the production year of this pedal?

Accepted Answer

You are going to get varying answers as this pedal is still in production and there are many sellers.  There's no guarantee what year you will get.

Question 4

One note on my guitar—e 7th fret on the a string—hums and booms super loud when played as a single note. will the boss eq take care of that?

Accepted Answer

The 7th fret of the A string is the note E3. It has a frequency of 164.8 Hz. By reducing the bottom 2 sliders, at 100 and 200 Hz, but probably more attention on the 200 Hz, you can reduce the boominess of that note. However, you will also reduce those frequency components in all other notes played. You may be able to adjust an individual pole of your pickup(s) up or down depending on your particular pickup. Or may be able to adjust the pickup height on the Low E side. Again, such adjustments will impact a whole range of notes. Another option would be to find a pedal with a notch filter (such as a Boss AD-5 or AD-2) and use that to target the specific offending frequency.  Best first step - make sure your guitar is properly set up by a luthier and discuss this issue with them prior to setup.
