The Guitar Borneo's "no talking" method is unrivaled. It's absolutely fantastic. Thank you guys.

[caseyw]

One of the most useful vids ive come across. Bravo.

[AXE]

Nice video. Proof that actions speak louder than words.

[spholm]

Great video, what a relief to get usable information without thousands of boring speak and selfpromotion. THANKS

[imdhomedesign]

Maybe the most underrated Boss pedal ever.

[kensmith]

I've had this pedal for 30 years. This video is outstanding.

[thekilljoy]

i like the "V" SOUND..
the most underrated pedals of all...
THANKS FOR VIDS!!!!

[charlie-obrien]

The fuzz / wah effect alone makes it worth it. 6:03
It's one of only 3 pedals I use or need.

[BennieTarrMusic]

Me: "Wow! Hear the difference!"
My girlfriend: "Sounds the same."

[joesmith]

I use a GE-7 at the end of my chain before the amp, just to boost the signal for solos, riffs, emphasizing a particular part. etc. It's also great after a distortion or overdrive pedal to shape the distortion by, say, giving it more mids if necessary or boosting the bass frequencies. Really useful little gadget.

[killnoni]

Tip here for strat users who want to turn their guitar into semi hollow: Use the semi hollow settings as described in the video just a bit more to low end as you please for example: 100 maxed (+15)-200 noon (0) -400 just below noon (-3-5), in the second position of your guitar (mid+bridge). TA TAA!

Ever since I got this pedal. My quest for single analog pedals really went from 10 to 1! this is like a Swiss knife for effect pedals or amps.

[twenkmcwanzer]

Great pedal demo. Everything it needs to be and nothing it doesn't.

[sadmachinesaudio]

It's a great video with no time wasting at all. I use most of these ideas myself. But I don't think one has to go to extreme settings like 15dB boosts or cuts (except for the telephone effect maybe). The desired effects can be achieved with more subtile settings that do not mangle or warp your signal as much.
06:50 A sound that has 15dB cut at 800Hz will be very hard to mix and will need help stay present in a dense mix. I think it would enough to drop 800Hz just enough so that this frequency drops below the other instruments in that range for that effect to work.

[robz]

In the loop it works magic. Making drastic improvements from the pre-amp section which are amplified in the powersection.Getting rid of fizz and beef up the overall sound.
Great inexpensive pedal.

[dirtybath]

Thank you!
Thank you!
Thank you!

I've just used some of your settings at a local band practise. ...what a difference and feel to the guitar sound!

Just amazing!!

[gelidospunkrockfueguino]

Excellent video, thank you for demonstrating and teaching this, it is one of the best videos I saw in this year 2021, greetings from Tierra del Fuego ARGENTINA, sincerely, Nicolas

[Dragonfyre]

Awesome video! I'm using mine as the first pedal up front, before the signal hits a noise gate, compressor and the amp. I use it to boost mids and cut low and high frequencies (-10, -5, 0, +5, 0, -5, -10). I play superstrats with hot pickups into a modern sounding amp. These settings allow me to retain a lot of clarity even at high distortion. The sound will even cut through diamonds.

[thatmountain]

The semi hollow setting for whatever reason sounds really awesome on my strats and tele. Crazy I wish I knew exactly why.

[TheBoomtown]

For a non switchable amp like a tweed deluxe, I set the gain to distorted on the amp, then bump down the level on the ge7 to make it clean. So if you’re playing ramble on by led zep, you can DESELECT the pedal to get your high gain chorus. Kind of backwards thinking, it rules!
