MQ-1 – Vintage 7-band proportional Q equaliser
Taking inspiration from the legendary 'Motown EQ', the MQ-1 is a single channel 7 band proportional Q parametric Equaliser with EQ curves akin to the renowned EQ's used in the illustrious Detroit studios in the 1960's. This 100% analogue EQ features 7 bell curves, each having a variable cut/boost of ±10dB and set at the beautifully musical frequencies of the original.
But it doesn’t stop there, in addition it incorporates the highly regarded 'CRUSH' feature present on the Drawmer 1971. When you activate the crush circuit, get ready for some pleasing harmonic saturation and that classic analogue warmth that adds a ton of character to any signal passing through the unit. The result? It fattens up the bass, adds presence to the mids, and brings a delightful shimmer to the top end. The harder you drive the EQ
the more Crush you’ll get!
Designed and manufactured in England, this is the classic warm analogue sound you've been looking for.
