As you know, probably the most well known schematic for BOSS GE-7 EQ schematic it the PDF from Jon Halverson. He also said about the lower noise mod (OPA134 chip). Does any one ever made this mode, I really wonder on how to modify the schematic so I can use the OPA134, I hope you can share your knowledge and opinion..

PS: the original chip is HA12017/HA1457W. Both is SIP, and probably obsolete. Actually I prefer to build the IBANEZ GE9, but the schematic that spread around is somehow in poor scanned quality. The lots of the component value are unreadable.

Thanks for advance..

Hi, the danelectro fish n chips is apparently a GE-7 modded for lower noise.  The slots for slide parts are a difficult for the average DIYer to make.  Might be better to buy one, if the goal is just to get a nice 7 band EQ, I got one off ebay for $15...
