GE-7 gave up the ghost. I use it in my fx loop for a solo/volume boost. I'd usually shave off some bass and slightly boost some mids, then boost the volume slider. This thing was always noisy and I suppose now is my chance to re-consider a solo boost. Anybody have any recommendations, especially if you swapped the GE-7 to something else? I'm looking at the TC Electronic Spark - bass/treble knobs rather than parametric eq but that will probably work just fine for me. The MXR 10-band is too big, and the smaller 6 band has no volume fader.
Secondary question - I have an Earthquaker Ghost Echo reverb pedal in the loop, always on. Though this pedal is true bypass, if it is always on does it always provide a buffered benefit? My fx loop cabling is 40' round trip (20' send, pedals, 20' return). Until now, the GE-7 was the only buffered pedal (I have 2 analog delays, the reverb and the GE-7 in the loop). Should I be looking at a eq/clean booster with a buffer or does the always-on reverb do that job?
