I'm toying with the idea of adding an EQ-type pedal in front of my Dr. Z Carmen Ghia (volume & tone knobs—that's it) in order to tailor the tone a little bit. The Barb EQ looks like an attractive option, but they seem to be discontinued and don't come up often on eBay. My other option would be an aNaLoG.MaN-modded GE-7, which seems like a great alterntative in terms of quality & price.
My question is this—with proper tweaking, would the GE-7 be able to do (roughly) what the Barb EQ can do, minus the 3-way switching? Am I comparing apples to apples here, if all I want to do is add some tone-shaping ability to my amp? [Not interested in the budget and/or uber-boutique options, mainly just comparing the Barb EQ with the GE-7 right now.]
