About
The most unique passive equalizer ever made joins the ever-expanding lineup of processors that make up the Virtual Mix Rack ecosystem. SD-PE1 provides a realistic reproduction of a classic passive EQ while also providing unique features only possible through digital emulation and modeling. When it comes to idiosyncrasies, perhaps nothing outshines this EQ, as it does not operate like most EQs people are used to.
A natural side effect of passive EQs is that the audio coming out of them will always be significantly quieter than the audio going in. To combat this, the original hardware featured a tube amplifier stage after the EQ. SD-PE1 makes it possible to turn this stage on and off, which means you can remove those saturation and color effects from the processed signal without a drop in output level.
On the original hardware model, frequency selection for processing was limited to what was presented on the front of the hardware. However, in addition to adding extra frequencies to each band, SD-PE1's frequency selection is both stepped and incremental. It s a tinkerer s paradise!
