daneclectro do check the reliabilty issue first before doing anything
GE-7 is a good pedal stock on itself... however theres disgusting backgroun noise plus in fact inside the components are not those high quality one so a mod to improve it is advisable
the mxr i have no experience
besides this if i ever get a EQ i would eye on the electroharmonix Tube EQ...

if you get the GE-7 you may wanna DIY mod that yourself... www.monteallums.com

speaking of EQ, do you guys favour an active EQ boost when playing? for me, boosting the treble and bass frequencies sounded good for awhile. after that it starts to sound really unnatural and "exaggerated".
i find eq very useful for certain segments of a song when u want a different feel to your tone. of course, it's also really good for earth-shaking low-end scooped metal tones if you so wish
u mentioned the mxr 10 band EQ, but why not the 6-band one? frankly unless you're a sound engineer, i think the 6 band one is enough. and to my knowledge, the new 6 band EQ pedal (black) is true bypass (someone correct me if i'm wrong, i did do some reading before i got mine)
compared to the Boss GE7, the MXR 6-band is capable of more extreme eq-ing (higher dB boost than GE7), and it seems warmer in the same settings than the GE7.... plus, it's smaller too! it's $130 before discount at ranking
oh and i forgot to add, there are red LEDs on each slider.... nice touch and good if u gig at dark places

I thought eq was a great tool, which it is, and something I would use often, which in the end didn't turn out to be the case.
At the end of the day, I never use an EQ pedal.
YMMV though, so IMO, grab some cheapo eq, think some behringer eq is going on luther, and see if you actually have a use for it.

Hmm.
I recommend the behringer Bass EQ. Seriously, it adds so much dimension to my sound... the bottom end is infectious! Wouldn't hurt that this little baby costs only $50 at ranking
