Seriously: If you value it, take/fetch it yourself
Wouldn't be without them...way more tone shaping than just from the onboard amp EQ and can be used as a boost too.

I had a Boss GE-7 (Which went to Drew).
Really usefull in a number of ways.
In the loop as a volume/mids boost.
Infront as a tone-shaper.
Infront as a volume/tone boost.
I liked a mids/treble boost, with the bass set to neutral and a slight increase on the volume for a nice The Who type sound.

With the 4 presets it's really great when looping as you can set each loop at different EQ curves so it doesn't get all mushy in the mid range when playing back.
I think people underestimate what a good EQ can do for you. The source audio is like a pedal board tone multiplier.
I have two GE-7 (both modded for low noise). Used really subtlely you can get a great Adam Jones growl by just mildly boosted the upper mids into a crunch amp without having to pile on too much gain. With a similar setting into a decent Russian Big Muff you get a beautiful Gilmour lead tone really simply.
I use EQ pedals the same way I use EQ when mixing, i.e. to subtlely tweak, accentuate and enhance rather than fix a sound.
