Many sound engineers believe that the passive equaliser is a cure for all digital evils. A distinctive characteristic of the IGS Rubber Bands Equaliser is its stereophonic structure, where the manual selecting of components with an accuracy of 1% allows for perfectly synchronous manipulation of both channels. The inputs and outputs are transformer balanced.
The IGS Rubber Bands Equaliser consists of two blocks: The first block is a classic passive filter well known from the EQP-1 Pultec equaliser. The second block is a specially designed two-stage tube amplifier called Organic Amp.
The new design includes a bypass relay, which allows you to instantly compare the results of your work. The equaliser has been divided into 4 sections: 2 for bass and 2 for treble. Frequencies are being selected with stepped switches.
Boosting and cutting on the IGS Rubber Bands are controlled continuously. Manipulators featured are Bass Boost, Bass Cut, High Boost (with the choice of Q) and High Cut. Interactions of filters that allow simultaneous boosting and cutting of certain frequencies can produce amazing sound effects.
