Easy as it gets - it's a "graphic" eq., right? Only little annoyance was that the sliders had no knobs (as the Boss GE-7 has) but only the black plastic ends - against an all-but-black casing - so I put a tiny dot of white model airplane paint on each slider, and voila... It is somewhat bigger (wider) than a GE-7, which suits my chubby little fingers well.
I have no clue why it is called "eqx-6", since it does indeed have 7 bands.... opposite marketing trick or something?

It does its job well; the effect of pulling the sliders is not as pronounced as on the GE7, and it seems to me that the bandpass filters are flatter/wider/"less resonant", but if I needed resonance, I guess I'd get a parametric eq. of sorts anyway. To my ears, the eqx6 is superiour exactly because of that - it does its job without making a lot of fuss about itself :-).

Don't know - I have only had it for a couple of months - but it looks like it has taken its share of abuse without breaking. Even so, the pots are OK and not noisy at all, so it seems reliable allright.

Cheapo and (IMHO) equal-or-better alternative to the mainstream.
