This is a solid eq pedal, but I discovered by accident it's an even better saturation/overdrive pedal with a hot boost in front of it. After blasting a hot signal into the EQ7 with its volume all the way up, one can create anything from light saturation to full distortion depending on how hard you boost into it, and then you have a 7 band eq to sculpt the exact tone you want. I tried this on another parametric eq pedal and it didn't overdrive as smoothly. I've seen studio engineers use equalizers as saturators before, and the trick works on this pedal too, never thought it would end up as my favorite overdrive, and I own a Jan Ray and many others.
Kira Barsmith I never knew about that trick! Incredible, I should have reviewed it as an overdrive ;) thanks for the info Kira, you learn something new everyday and I hope other people find this interesting and useful too, cheers!
Cool video I ran it with Rocktron hush pedal and sounds great. Can get a lot of different sounds with. I got the Van Halen OU812 sound with this and a chorus pedal through a Blackstar amp.
Came back for a comment. Got my pedal. Sticker put on sloppily. The output jack seemed a little wonky, but this thing sounds GREAT! True bypass, I hear none to very little coloration. I don’t find it noisy at all. The freq selection is perfect. Do I dare say it’s “musical?” It’s a great little addition, even when I’ve had other eqs. It being so small is not intrusive. I also love it being $23 shipped! And it works great with the vintage fuzzes.
Thanks for feeding back! Absolutely superb, I’m glad that the quality is 95% consistent at the price range, appreciate the comment and cheers! Enjoy it :)
Hi Kyle, on this one it was absolutely fine unless you pushed the treble all the way up, then it gets hissy, but at the same time it also gets far too trebly, cheers
@@DerekPaulGuitar great! Thanks for the response and info 👍 I'm wanting to try adding this or the joyo eq after my overdrive and distortion pedals to add just a little bit of low end and presence to some of my pedals' tone/character. Fyi
@@DerekPaulGuitar I had the Caline 10 band (mxr clone), I didn't like it cause it added noise, ie hiss and hum. I really think it had a bad ground connection (or something) Also I tried the Behringer (Boss clone) eq too and I just did not like that there wasn't a notched position on the wipers for flat aka zero. I think I'm leaning towards the joyo, but they're cheap enough to grab both 👍
Best EQ I found, under ~$80. Its the only one that was transparent and the only one at its price point, that didnt produce noise in a frequency that couldn't be adjusted. Range of effect isnt as good as some pricier units, but it works, its clean and compares well to models 3x its price, in quality of effect. If you need an EQ on a budget, this is the one.
Hi, does it still work? I am hesitating to buy it. I would use it for sing along style with solid body guitars. I like its mini size. There are 10 band EQ pedals now but they have bigger boxes
I do like it yes and it’s worth buying, it’s got a wide frequency range to play with and it’s a true bypass pedal, it does a great job and I’d say it’s worth more than I payed for it, thanks for the feedback Aaron :)
I've already got a Boss EQ pedal, which I am wanting to keep in the effects loop of my amp and always turned on. But I'm thinking of getting one of these just for a volume boost to have after a distortion pedal on my pedal board. So I'd be having an EQ in the loop and an EQ as a volume boost after a pedal
Best way to use it is in the loop for popping the leads out of the mix with a tiny bump of the mids. Changed my life. I can finally hear my leads over the band
M. T. Hi, thank you, I appreciate that, I have previously used a boss EQ and it is less noises on full treble, but the Ammoon is really useable, just avoid using full treble (which you won’t need) :)
Hi, thanks for the comment i appreciate that!, i haven't but you could get the chance to as i'm giving it away with all the other pedals i reviewed this year, just check out my giveaway video :) cheers
Hi, do you think this pedal would work as a hipass filter? I mean if you roll off the 63hz completely, is every thing under 63 cut or is it you some sort of scoop that is made around that frequency? I would be using it for bass. Thanks!!
Gabriel Lapointe hi Gabriel I don’t why it wouldn’t work to be honest, I can’t test it though unfortunately as I have it away in my end of 2019 competition. sorry dude
@@pauldavey57 hi, I made some tests and it works great with my acoustic guitar. It have a piezo pickup and bone saddle, so the bone didn't have enough middles to make the guitar sound nasal as a plastic saddle. So the eq only adjusted a little bit of the midrange to make it sound smooth and natural. It's a cheap pedal and doesn't put any noise on my chain. 👍🏻😃
Pretty ingenious using the looper pedal to demo the different settings of the new pedal! Thanks for the video!!
Thanks Ray! Appreciate your kind words, stay well!
Glad to see an EQ that copes with bass, and also (more importantly) allows the horrid 500Hz to be strangled!
It will certainly do that! cheers

@@DerekPaulGuitar You're most welcome! I never would've guessed my favorite overdrive would end up being a $30 eq pedal. LOL
Kira Barsmith that’s a classic quote right there haha
Great review.
My strat and the amp I use are too bright and hurt people's ears. Do you think this pedal can help me to solve that?
It would certainly let tame it down alongside the strat and amp settings! Thanks for watching and the kind words
wow that bass boost was actually quite impressive
Cool video
I ran it with Rocktron hush pedal and sounds great. Can get a lot of different sounds with. I got the Van Halen OU812 sound with this and a chorus pedal through a Blackstar amp.
Thanks John! Nice set up you have there, I do like a black star amp!

I was so impressed with this little beast, thanks to your video, I got it for $23 shipped. I will see how it likes old Big Muffs....
Nice man! Thanks, can’t beat old big muffs in a pedal chain....
@@DerekPaulGuitar any update youd like to share?
@@turtlelee9359 it’s still a great little eq for the money :)
Derek,
What is the pedal like with regards to hum and hiss? Usually these budget pedals have a bit of back ground noise when engaged.
Hi Kyle, on this one it was absolutely fine unless you pushed the treble all the way up, then it gets hissy, but at the same time it also gets far too trebly, cheers
Love the whiteout trick! You've got a new subscriber here. Really enjoying your channel!
Bizarre Noir thank you so much! I really appreciate that and thanks for the kind words.
Hello. I’d like to have some feedback using it with an electro-acoustic guitar. Thanks
Which amp and speaker did u use/simulate for this demo, Derek? Sounds vintage beauty alike.
Thank you! I used a fender hot rod deluxe 4 with the standard A-Type speaker in it
@@DerekPaulGuitar Thank u, man.
No problem buddy
in the standard ge7 when you drop bass frecuency it's noisy, in this you experiment the same??
Some serious added noise at points, am I right?
If you boost the treble right up yes, but it’s too trebly at that point so I never did in normal use
When you push the sliders all the way up,will this give you hiss and noise...?
It certainly will, especially the treble, but dialled back a bit it’s a decent eq, cheers
Are there notches for the wipers for the middle/flat setting for each frequency?
As far as I remember yes there were.
@@DerekPaulGuitar great! Thanks for the response and info 👍
I'm wanting to try adding this or the joyo eq after my overdrive and distortion pedals to add just a little bit of low end and presence to some of my pedals' tone/character.
Fyi
@@BrandonKJohnson iBoth are great little eq’s, should do a job for you, I also tried the caline eq and that was good too 👍
@@DerekPaulGuitar I had the Caline 10 band (mxr clone), I didn't like it cause it added noise, ie hiss and hum.

@@BrandonKJohnson that’s true enough, definitely cheap enough to try both!
Just ordered 2
Great little thing, cheers!
why you ordered 2?
good review Derek...consider to buy it
Thanks! Appreciate the kind words, cheers!
how much is the max db it brings ? 6 or 12 or maybe more ?
I’m really not sure

Your review is what convinced me to even give it a look. I was just going to buy a MXR and be done. So, thank *you*
@@springbloom5940 That's so kind and i'm glad it helped, thanks and stay well!
How's it compare to Behringer graphic equaliser? Are the sliders the standard way up?
@@Tone-Oz The sliders are the standard way yes, not sure how it compares personally but it's a great little usable eq, cheers
Hi, does it still work? I am hesitating to buy it. I would use it for sing along style with solid body guitars. I like its mini size. There are 10 band EQ pedals now but they have bigger boxes
I gave it to my nephew and it still works perfectly, thanks!
@@DerekPaulGuitar so what do you use now instead of it?
I use a tech 21 q strip now but I did use the caline EQ CP-24 for a while and that was also good!
Tks! I go for the & bend one because of its size!@@DerekPaulGuitar
No problem! Cheers
Nice vid but i was wondering what's your opinion , do you like it? worth buy it? keep same sound in the chain ?
I do like it yes and it’s worth buying, it’s got a wide frequency range to play with and it’s a true bypass pedal, it does a great job and I’d say it’s worth more than I payed for it, thanks for the feedback Aaron :)
What other budget EQ pedals do you guys use? Or do you even use EQ? Cheers
Noise is there … from high sides
It is as I said, I don’t think you’ll ever push it that high though

Yeah! Howja do that?
Great vid! Have you compared it to another EQ? What do you think compared to an MXR?... MXR will have less noise? Tnks:)
M. T. Hi, thank you, I appreciate that, I have previously used a boss EQ and it is less noises on full treble, but the Ammoon is really useable, just avoid using full treble (which you won’t need) :)

excellent review. I like that EQ pedal
Thank you! I appreciate that very much
Great review , didnt know you could get such tone
Francois Chapdelaine thank you! :))
Glow in the dark paint!
Damn it! Didn’t try that! Bet it does too
Are these very interchangeable for vocals aswell? Thanks
I don’t see why it wouldn’t work on vocals, thanks

Did you try mooer graphic G 5 band EQ pedal? It costs around $35. Which one is better?
Torus1Knot1 hi, unfortunately I haven’t tried it, thanks
Cool magic trick! I know it was the EQ the whole time in disguise. 😃
Haha cheers man! And I know you didn’t really know 😉
Is it the strat that buzzes or the Ammoon eq when treble is up ?
It’s the EQ when it’s at full treble, but the full treble is too much anyway so I never used it at full treble, a good EQ other than that, cheers
Hi nice vid. Will it work on a electric bass guitar?
Hi Dale, thank you! there’s no reason why it wouldn’t :)), although I didn’t test it with a bass guitar to be fair
Have you tried it on an acoustic guitar pluged on a mix desk?
Hi Carlos, i haven't, i since gave the pedal away in a competition in January, thanks for the comment
@@DerekPaulGuitar thanks for your answer, I just bought one today, and will give it a try.
@@giulianoguitar Oh excellent, if you have time perhaps post back to let us know how it worked, cheers
Hi @@giulianoguitar I'm looking for an eq to use with my pre-amped electric acoustic, did you try it and what was the result?

No reason why it wouldn’t man! Cheers for the comment

Not sure what you mean Dave?
