Vintage Console EQ emulates the EQ section of a well-known mixing console channel that is noted for its tonal color. It is a three band equalizer with switchable low and mid range bands and a fixed 12 kHz high frequency band. There is also a passive third-order (18 dB/octave) low cut/high pass filter.
The original console module is regarded as a cult classic by many recording engineers, and has been used on countless hit records over the past 40 years.
