How so? Not sure I buy that.

You can change the tone of your guitar dramatically, they said. You can make a humbucker sound like a single coil, or vice versa. But NOT!
I don´t know if I am doing something wrong, but no matter how hard I tweak the GE-7, the results are very very subtile and almost not noteable.

This is just the reality of high-gain. Pre-distortion EQ sometimes has to be drastic for a significant change in tonality.
I suggest doing this: Route your guitar through Reaper then out to your guitar amp. Be careful to send a reasonable output level to your amp.
Experiment with digital EQ to get an idea what amount of EQ, if any, it takes to achieve the sound you're after.
You could even use ReaEQ.
Then find a pedal that can replicate this EQ curve. Maybe the GE-7 is the wrong pedal for you.

Not really. The pedal is built for a guitar level signal. I'd be more concerned with overdriving it.
