Hinta-laatusuhteeltaan toimiva pedaali
Hintaansa nähden vallan mainio vehje, mutta jää helposti kalliimpien mallien jalkoihin. Viritysmittari ei ole kovinkaan tarkka, mutta kyllä sillä suurinpiirtein keikkaolosuhteissa saa kitaransa vireeseen. Miinuksena huomasin pedaalin päälle ja poiskytkemisen yhteydessä pienen napsumisen. Itse EQ käyttökelpoinen ja tehokas. Boosterina toimii vallan mainiosti jos napsumisen saa kuriin.

Nice for the price
I've owned this pedal for several years now and it's been on and off my board, currently on. It's a decent EQ pedal; no noticeable flaws in sound, but it is a cheap pedal, so there are some issues with build quality.
The tuner functions properly, but the lights and markings are very small and you can't really use this pedal as a tuner and as an EQ at gigs, because you will forget the tuner function on, so you will mute your guitar at crucial moments (if you use it as a solo boost for example, happened to me twice).
The switch is a bit stiff and it feels cheap. The door of the battery compartment is kinda flimsy and it doesn't stay on properly. That's not a huge problem for me because I use a power supply (as should you, always).
What is nice, compared to a BOSS GE-7 EQ for example, is that this one has 8 frequency bands instead of 7, and those 8 bands are more usable frequencies typical for guitar. I use my Artec EQ for a "fixed wah" type of sound, meaning that I cut all the bass frequencies and most of the highs, leaving only the mids for an absolutely amazing midrange squeal for solos.
I also once needed the neck humbucker of my SG to sound exactly like the same pickup when using coil split - this was a recording session and the split coil produced too much unwanted hum - so I just used this pedal to cut some low mids and boost trebles to achieve the split coil sound from a full humbucker. In the end, the result was indistinguishable from the sound of the split coil.

Does both functions well
Very handy when you dont have too much room in your pedalboard or if you just want tuner and eq to boost your amp in solos. sturdy construction and functional Eq.

Handy essential
I saved some important space on my tiny pedalboard by using this, and it does both tasks just as good as any pedal designed specifically for either purpose
