I also second the PultEQ from GA.

I've had good luck with source audio eq2 pedals. Free the tone makes a killer eq pedal too.

There is a lot of fancy shit out there and you will find a lot of stuff down the EQ rabbit hole......
But the simpler the better IMO and IME and the MXR 6 Band EQ is as good and as simple as it gets ^_^

Also aside from the MXR 6 Band EQ, J Rocket has some good ones based on the 6 Band that are probably as good or better with the Melody EQ/OD and RockAway Steve Stevens SIG EQ/OD.
Definitely worth a look at.

Does the Fractal FX8 count as an EQ?

I used to own a Source Audio EQ. The cool thing about it is that you can save up to four EQ presets on the pedal, which is a good way to recall your settings when using it with different amps. It also has a boost knob in case your FX loop lowers or raises the volume of the amp.
There's a newer MKII version out that allows you to run the EQ pedal in stereo. I think this would be a kickass thing to have if you are running two amps simultaneously. To top it off, it is a chromatic tuner and also has a noise gate and limiter built in.
I only sold my EQ1 because I have an Axe FXIII, which covers the same ground. But the EQ2 pedal is much smaller and easier to cart around.

For current new offering, I really like the Ibanez Pentatone eq. The best sounding I ever used is the old TC Dual Param Eq.

I have a plain old GE7.
i dont use it much as an eq. I use it more as a clean boost
the new ones are dead quiet. the older ones i had from the 80s and 90s sounded like a jet

I’ve tried many EQ pedals and I think as long as they don’t introduce any noise, any will work fine. I currently use the Ibanez PTEQ and Mesa 5 band in stereo post amp (in a smiley face) and a Whirlwind EQ10p in front (in a frown pushing mids). Always on.

I hear great things about the GE-7 simple & to the point, but anything parametric is my choice.. you can really sculpt a tone with a controllable Q, & ability to sweep the filter.. currently use the para eq. It’s a bit overkill for guitar, & if you don’t know all your filter types it will quickly overwhelm you lol:
THIS is a better simplified alternative, & will 100% give you way more shaping capabilities than a graphic EQ, & not drive you crazy. To each their own tho.

On an EQ?! I want my EQs to be useful, not simple. The more tweakable, the better. Sure, extra frequency knobs and q knobs can be clutter an interface, but they are really useful when dialing in an EQ. After all, we use EQ to fine tune our sound. Shouldn't it be able to get fine?

theyre tools of a sucker.
do you really think one can pinpoint perfect tone 100% all day in all venues
what happens when you finally have the 2 dozen knobs all set to your dream tone in your head.
now your at a new venue. , larger room, higher ceiling different acoustics.
orrrr smaller room lower ceilings but the place is packed
youll be on your knees all night turning knobs chasing a dream
ohh. now your going from an LP to a tele, back on your knees i guess
this shit isn't that critical as we and i say we as in me also make it out to be

Simple. Fuck the room.
My job is to make my amp sound good on stage. Dialing in the room is the job of the sound engineer.
Wanna see the EQ he's using?

im not that fortunate to have a sound engineer
closest i can get is a gear engineer at SW and i never listen to any of them
my gigs consist of one single channel fender amp, guitar and one 3 knob dirt box
occasion GE7 for clean boost..... thats it lol
