GE-601 Graphic Equalizer by Ibanez

The Ibanez GE-601 Graphic Equalizer is a vintage pedal that was part of the 808 series and shares the same casing as the original Tube Screamer. It was manufactured in 1981 by Maxon in Japan. The pedal features six individual slider controls used to boost or cut specific frequencies at 100Hz, 200Hz, 400Hz, 800Hz, 1.6KHz, and 3.2KHz by ±12dB. The GE-601 also includes a master 'Level' control and a footswitch to turn the EQ on and off, along with a status indicator LED and a DC input jack. The pedal is designed to fit enclosures of the 1590BB size.

The GE-601 Graphic Equalizer is suitable for a variety of use-cases, including balancing wayward pickups, smoothing an amp's personality, countering a venue's acoustics, limiting feedback, and shaping sound from subtle to more extreme. It can be used as a pure clean boost or cut pedal with all sliders set to 'flat', and its tone-shaping effect can be used creatively to produce a wide range of sounds. The pedal offers flexibility and versatility in shaping and enhancing guitar tones.
