Six Independent Bands

At the heart of this hardware EQ is its six independent bands, which interact dynamically to shape your sound in unique and complex ways. Unlike traditional EQ designs, these bands allow for simultaneous boosts and cuts, creating tonal textures that are both precise and musical. Whether you want to tighten up low-end frequencies, add sparkle to the highs or carve out space in a dense mix, this design offers surgical control and creative freedom. The result is an unparalleled ability to enhance both individual tracks and full mixes, delivering a polished and professional sound that remains rich in character.

Tube Saturation for Harmonic Depth

The HG-Q's tube saturation circuit is a standout feature, adding lush harmonic content while preserving mix integrity. Unlike conventional saturation that can muddy transients, this circuit enhances lower-level details, increasing the density and vibrancy of your sound. The harmonic richness it introduces complements the EQ's tonal sculpting, breathing new life into recordings without compromising clarity. This makes it especially effective for adding warmth to vocals, punch to drums or depth to guitars. By marrying analog tube warmth with surgical tonal control, this EQ offers a unique blend of richness and precision for any sonic application.

Advanced Digital Integration

While fully analog at its core, this EQ integrates seamlessly with modern workflows through its digital plug-in control. This combination enables precise recall of settings, automation and expanded creative options. The ability to control its analog circuitry digitally ensures studio efficiency without losing the tactile satisfaction of working with hardware. Additionally, the unit's M/S processing capabilities expand its versatility, allowing engineers to fine-tune spatial imaging and frequency balance with pinpoint accuracy. Whether in the studio or on stage, this EQ adapts effortlessly to the demands of contemporary audio production.
