Bought this one mostly for the level control. I have the MXR 6 band EQ and it lacks the general level boost. I find the GE-7 to be as any other Boss pedal. Really well built and quality sound (though this pedal doesn't have a sound, which is a good thing). Downside I would say that the levers are a bit wiggly when then are at neutral position. Not a big thing, it works great.
