I formerly owned a DOD FX40B 7-band EQ pedal that was great.

I used it to tweeze out the offensive frequencies that cause feedback for my harmonica microphone (I run the mic through my effects) and used the volume slider to hit the front of the preamp on my Vibroverb and dirty things up a bit.

Unfortunately, the pedal bit the dust and I'm not willing to pay $50+ dollars to fix it.

I am interested in the MXR 10-band; it has pre- and post-EQ gain sliders (so I should be able to get that nasty hard-slamming harp tone everybody wants):

I don't like the Boss EQ; it instantly adds a processed sound to your mix, and isn't very transparent (I know that sounds like a oxymoron, but an equalizer should change frequencies, not add sounds that are more mechanical/electronic).

What EQ pedals have you used, and what do you recommend?
