Up for sale, a 1976 Boss GE-10 Graphic Equalizer in excellent condition and in perfect working order, complete with a box and paperwork. One of the earliest effects released by Roland under the Boss brand, this graphic EQ is best associated with Eddie Van Halen, who utilized a GE-10 to achieve his famous “brown sound” in the ‘80s. A simple and straightforward effect, the GE-10 offers ten bands of EQ ranging from 31Hz to 16kHz, spanning the full frequency spectrum of both guitar and bass, with boost/cut of +/- 12dB per band. Additionally, there is an independent Level control (also +/- 12dB), offering overall boost/cut functionality, with an Equalizer/Normal (on/off) switch and an Input Level (0dB/-10dB) toggle.

This GE-10 shows just a few minor scuffs and scratches on the enclosure. The original slider caps are all present, and the graphics are clean. The serialized badge on the baseplate dates to August, 1976. This badge also notes 100v operation, and this pedal has been fully tested and runs reliably at 117v USA power.

A vintage box and paperwork is included; while not original to this particular unit (different serialization), these are period-correct to the original run of the GE-10.
