From left to right. first slider all the way down, then all the way up, alternating. Keep level at middle

You will likely hear noise if it doesn't have the analogman mod and afaik analogman won't mod the newer GE-7 that are built with surface mount components.

you can use the old Danelectro Fish & Chips eq as well…any seven band eq w/ the same frequency sliders….left to right just alternate…cut the first low slider totally dime the next cut the next dime the next.

The mod helps with the noise...but in the absence of the mod...

...put the EQ pedal between the steel and the VP...that way, when the VP is off-no noise.

I've used both, and either will work for live OR recording....
