I got this module by Music Thing modular (graphic EQ). They took the circuit of the GE-7 by boss and made in into a Eurorack module.
I though it would be a good project as an intro to building electronics, since all the components are already built, it’s just the soldering that has to be done.
Using my friend Sam’s soldering Iron, we managed to get it working in less than an hour, followed by a fun jam with his modular system.
I’ve enjoyed the module so far, it gives really nice coloration to my other modules, and it will be a fun tool for live sets. It’s specially great for drones, since you have a seven band eq to shape the sound.
I have a couple of complaints about the ways it’s built. One of them being that in order to increase the frequency, you turn the slider to the left. This is a bit illogical but i’m getting used to it. I also wish the frequency band was a bit wider, just to have some control over the sub frequencies.
I’m excited to build more DIY modules, since its good practice and makes the modules a bit cheaper.
