vvv,
don't know what you're looking for, but check out the Pioneer SG-540 on Ebay for dirt cheap. It's like this: set everything on flat. What comes out sounds better than what goes in. I'm not fucking with you here.

Ha! Thanks for the tip, but I actually try not to use EQ except surgically, ITB on mixdown.

I mean, I'll use it on a hardware channel-strip sometimes (Meek, Eureka), but anything thereafter is ITB and corrective.

But then, mebbe if I could fine one o' them in black ... :twisted:

And FWIW, I have a Harman Kardon EQ that I consistently almost use on a regular basis.

This prolly doesn't so much apply to this discussion, but to my ears the uad pultec does that as well.

..I have one posted in buy/sell/trade (5 band rackmounted) Just a heads- up. If this is inappropriate on this thread please let me know, I'll take this reply down. It just seems this where the only interest in this nonsense is..

All these years later, and I'm still using that Rat Shack EQ for a few sources here and there. It's the 5 band silver faced 1987. Actually has better tone than a TF Pro P9 mastering EQ I just sold for $1,500
