Manufacturer's Description from Other

Housed in a 2U rack unit, the Michelangelo is an all tube, stereo EQ that is completely focused on sonic beauty! This EQ is certainly not aimed at precisely targeting certain frequencies, for it is intended to be a broad strokes EQ that also acts as a harmonics generator. This one of a kind EQ is at home during any phase of the music production process (tracking, mixing, or mastering), for the overall sonic signature it leaves, coupled with its complete ease of use, is rivaled by none!

The Michelangelo is a discrete, Class A, all tube, full stereo unit, with tone for days!

FEATURES

- The BYPASS switches allow the user to completely disengage the Michelangelo at any time in order to properly A/B a mix (true bypass).

- The TRIM control allows the user to match the volume coming from the Michelangelo to any desired level.

- Left and Right CALIBRATION is used to gain match the Left and Right signals, accounting for any volume discrepancies encountered. Interestingly enough, these calibration controls can also be used to alter the tonal response of the Michelangelo if so desired. For example, it is possible to bring the Calibration volumes up and the Trim down, resulting in the Michelangelo driving the signal harder than normal, increasing harmonic content.

- The AGGRESSION control alters the drive in the circuit, allowing you to push the tubes for extra saturation.

- The LOW, MID, and HIGH controls manipulate the three EQ bands, but in a way that adds more dynamic, harmonic content the higher the EQ is set. Take note that the Mid control covers a massive amount of territory while the Low and High controls are narrower by comparison.

- The AIR control boosts the ultra high frequencies and is typically a favorite control in this unit.

- LOW SHIFT changes the Low control in order to target all frequencies below 150hz or 80hz.

- MID SHIFT alters the response of the Low and Mid controls, essentially assigning the low mids to either control.

- HIGH SHIFT changes the High control in order to target the frequencies above 1khz or 2khz.

- The VINTAGE switch toggles between a “modern” mode (think more hifi), and a “vintage” mode (darker, older sounding).

- LoZ/HiZ alters the output impedance of the Michelangelo in order to dial in either a more colored tone (HiZ) which ill interact with gear following it in your chain, or a more clean tone (LoZ) which is largely unaffected by gear following it in your chain.
