Hi.
First time when I decided to buy any Graphic EQ I was very confused which one to choose. There is hundreds of EQs on market. Becouse I'm practical person and I need quick tuner as well I decided to buy this one. 2 in 1 should be good. Nothing more wrong !! First things first:
Construction: Looks good, well done, size quite small, Jack sockets got like blocades or klick and cable wont plug out so easy. All ok, just DC input is in very bad place, and small knobs sometimes like to fall off.
Quality is ok.
Sound: Sound is good, any change on knobs, gives sometimes big differences. Very nice effect to change sound type during playing, like for solo, or separated riffs. If you have your favourite settings it can give a good kick and boost for your sound.
I use it with Metal Muff, and I plug it after MM for enchancing my sound.
NEED to be set properly otherwise there will be unwanted noises on the end.
Tuner is useless, total disaster. Very bad in tuning. Not worth.
Final word:
Artec Graphic EQ & Tuner is cheap and good EQ for somebody with smaller budget. It will do the job. It gives good range of sound shapeing and modeling.
