I bought this pedal because was cheap, but I could never get a good sound from it.

Not for me...
I have used a graphic EQ pedal on my guitar for some time and regard as a very underrated piece of kit.
However having read that parametric EQ is gives more control I thought I would give this Artec a go especially as it is relatively cheap.I also thought it would be an inexpensive way to get that honky stuck wah sound.
Let's talk about the build quality first.The case is some sort of cast metal and seems very sturdy.Battery access is screwless(hooray!).The controls generally are OK but the gain and width knobs are very small have no markers on them so it is difficult to know where you are.
So what's it like in use?Firstly forget the stuck wah sound.It just about gets you in the right ball park--but only just.And using the knobs to shape your tone does not make a huge amount of difference.
Maybe I'm not using the Artec correctly--there were no instructions/manual included--so for now I'll stick with my graphic EQ.It is easier to use and has a greater range.

Does what it says...
I would suggest you get a parametric one, like the Boss, or something else. The one band is actually limiting, even though it's customazible.

Great product but with a big caveat
The highest the frequency can reach is not even 4000Hz, the band Q also opens and is less effective as you approach the higher extreme.
I needed two of these to kill the 5000Hz whine from my Line6 G10 and other digital gear.
Unfortunately this pedal is useless for that purpose.
The unit itself is well made, also has a clean signal.
