The Rockready 10EQ-1 Ten Band EQ is a graphic equalizer pedal for guitar and bass, released by Rockready as one of a couple of new units in early 2025. It gives players ten bands of control from 31.25Hz to 16kHz, each adjustable by plus or minus 12dB, so a player can shape the tone of a rig to fit a musical style or a particular room. A Volume slider on top of the EQ section lets the shaped signal be boosted as well1. For more on the effect type, see Equalization Pedals, and for a simpler level lift, see Boost Pedals.
Controls
The pedal's controls are laid out as a graphic EQ: one slider per frequency band, plus a master Volume1.
| Control | What it does |
|---|---|
| Ten EQ sliders (31.25Hz to 16kHz) | Boost or cut each band by up to 12dB to shape the tone1 |
| Volume slider | Boosts the EQ'd signal should the need arise1 |
Power and fitting it on a board
The 10EQ-1 requires the usual DC 9V adapter power supply with a center minus plug, so it will run from a standard pedalboard power supply1. Pedal of the Day notes that its small footprint lets it fit easily onto any pedalboard, which matters on a crowded board where a ten band EQ might otherwise take up too much room1. The circuit is housed in an aluminum alloy casing1.
What reviewers said
The pedal was reviewed by Pedal of the Day in February 2025, shortly after its release. Their reviewer framed it as a tool for fitting a rig to any playing situation1:
"With ten bands from 31.25Hz to 16kHz with +/- 12db, you can tailor your sound to any stage or recording situation."
On the maker more broadly, the reviewer said:
"These folks are making affordable pedals, but they actually sound really good, and have a price point that will fit any"

Questions
How much can the Rockready 10EQ-1 boost or cut each band?
Each of the ten bands, running from 31.25Hz to 16kHz, can be boosted or cut by up to 12dB. That range lets a player tailor the sound to a stage or recording situation, whether that means carving out problem frequencies or pushing a particular part of the spectrum forward.
What power supply does the Rockready 10EQ-1 use?
The 10EQ-1 runs on a DC 9V adapter power supply with a center minus plug, the same arrangement as most standard pedal power supplies. Pedal of the Day describes this as the usual setup for the pedal.
Does the Rockready 10EQ-1 have a volume control?
Yes. Alongside the ten EQ sliders there is a Volume slider, which Pedal of the Day notes can be used to boost the EQ'd signal should the need arise, so the pedal can act as a clean level lift on top of its tone shaping.
Is the Rockready 10EQ-1 small enough for a crowded pedalboard?
According to Pedal of the Day, the pedal's small footprint lets it fit easily onto any pedalboard, so it is suited to boards where space is tight.
