Do you find it hard to get the perfect sound from your bass? Maybe your bass seems to virtually disappear in some rooms; then again, it feels like a runaway locomotive in others? The problem's not your bass-you need an equalizer! The BEHRINGER BEQ700 can resurrect your bass, providing total control over your tone, no matter what the performance situation. You can instantly improve the sound of your band from the bottom up, with the BEHRINGER BEQ700.
Master of Tone
With 15 dB available boost or cut per band (that's a lot!), the BEQ700's seven frequency bands have been carefully chosen to provide the ultimate tools for EQing the bass guitar, even 5 6-string instruments. Of course, to make full use of its capabilities, you should first understand some basics about the frequency range of your axe.
The BEQ700 covers the audio spectrum from below 50 Hz to over 10 kHz, allowing you to effectively cut or boost specific frequencies that help focus your sound. Special attention has been paid to the critical midrange frequencies, which can either make or break your sound. The following section offers tips that will have you sculpting the perfect bass sound in no time at all.
Understanding EQ
Most performers don't have a clue about what good equalization can do for their sound. Maybe you've heard the old maxim, "Make a sine-wave to get really good sound," or "Make a smiley-face, that always works." Sadly, this qualifies as advice from the uninformed. Just as every room is different, every musical instrument is unique. Even guitars and basses made by the same manufacturer, using the same materials, on the same day can vary a great deal.
People provide a good example of this principal-although we are all similar, we don't all wear the same size shoes, or even have the same color eyes. There is no one "perfect" equalization curve that fits every scenario; equalization is dynamic.
Applying EQ to the Bass
When frequencies from 20 Hz - 200 Hz are boosted or cut, the bass is affected dramatically, since sounds in this range are often felt, as well as being heard. Boosting frequencies within this range can increase the sensation of power and punch. Conversely, reductions in this range can weaken or muddy low frequency response.
The fundamental notes of most basses fall within the 100 Hz - 1000 Hz range. Even slight changes in this range can cause a tremendous variation in overall bass energy and impact, as the human ear is especially sensitive to this range. Boosting frequencies around 200 Hz often gives the bass warmth and body, without a loss of definition, while boosting frequencies in the 500 Hz to 1000 Hz range tend to make bass sounds brittle. Often, better EQ results can be achieved by reducing the frequency bands that are offending and by turning up the overall volume, rather than boosting one specific band.
How the specific frequency bands of the BEQ700 can shape your sound
- 50 Hz (sub-bass)
Boost: To thicken up sub-bass content, which is mostly felt rather than heard
Cut: To eliminate stage "rumble" and sub-bass content that can rob sound system power - 120 Hz (soft bass)
Boost: To enhance the lower end of the bass spectrum
Cut: To reduce the tendency of low frequency content to overwhelm a small room - 400 Hz (hard bass)
Boost: To enhance the "hard" bass punch of fundamental tones
Cut: To reduce punch for better linkage with the kick drum - 500 Hz
Boost: or Cut: To control bass clarity and warmth - 800 Hz Boost: To add an aggressive edge to the overall bass sound
Cut: For reducing somewhat nasal or horn-like content - 4.5 kHz
Boost: To make the bass cut through the mix. Creates a more distinctive plucked tone
Cut: To eliminate harshness - 10 kHz
Boost: To bring out the upper harmonics and add edge to the overall bass tonality
Cut: Apply a cut to reduce harsh high-frequency content or hiss

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because the pedal construction is plastic and the sliders feel kinda loose. They are way too easy to slide and I feel like I need to be really careful with them.
Having said that, I'm not paying for a $99.00 pedal. So, for what it is, it's perfect.
That being said, this is a bass EQ, so unless you need to change tones mid-song you won't need to be stepping on this pedal much anyway. I recommend just leaving it on constantly if you have a constant power source. I keep mine on a pedal board.
It gives me far more control over my tone than my amp does and as a result my bass sounds way clearer and more distinct with the help of this pedal.
If you need a bass EQ and you can't spring for the Boss GEB-7 (it's $99.99 after all) this thing will certainly get the job done. I will eventually upgrade to the boss pedal, but until then, this is a great EQ to start with, especially for the price.
When I first received the package felt heavy, usually a good indication. I was quite disappointed when I opened the box and the pedal was clearly made of plastic and it was only heavy thanks a metal plate on the bottom. I read the instruction on the bottom plate, and it clearly stated that the box used a battery, as did the written manual in the box; this is where things went downhill.
The manual stated that the pedal did not use an on/off switch even though the pedal clearly clicked when pushed indicating the presence of an on/off switch. The manual also stated that unit employed a battery, but when I opened the pedal to install a battery I discovered that there was no battery compartment. Additionally, the pedal was made of a light gage plastic.
Therefore, I closed the pedal and proceeded to use an adaptor to power it. I plugged the pedal into my amp and plugged in my bass to discover that the pedal did not function at all. At that point, I threw the towel and decided to return the pedal. The moral of the story is that you get what you pay for. I will be sticking with brands like BOSS and MXR from now on; lesson learned.

Pretty cheap price, for a great tool. Almost no noise or anything (was expecting that because of the price) and it gives you plenty of control to shape your tone. I mean, you could probably get a better one from other pedal manufacturers, but if you're on a budget, it's great. Only thing is that this thing is plastic, so... it feels cheap when you want to change the battery.
For other people who might want to get one, this is what I think so far. I was always stuck with only the basic 3-Band EQ on my combo (Bass, Mid, Treble) and it did the job for a couple of months, but now I want more control. I like my bass to be more fat and warm, so I gave it a try with my settings on my amp, then tried with the BEQ700. It's amazing! The difference is so clear and what I could do only in one practice tonight... It's really cool. I think as bass players we don't use a ton of effects but the tone of the bass is REALLY important. So, yep, good job Behringer. I though this would be cheap (and keep in mind since it's plastic it does feel cheap) but I can't deny that this pedal does exacly what it should do, and it does it right.
So yep, I do recommend it. Keep in mind I haven't tried other 7-band EQs so my opinion might not be worth alot, but right now when practicing with my friends, it feels good.
