What We Think
This EQ is a sleeping giant. Yes, it's only got two EQ bands on board, but if you can't get what you need with these two bands, you need to go back and just re-record the track. There's a HUGE amount of horsepower under the hood of this EQ that is available when you need it, but it's equally suited to subtle shaping.
No doubt about it - when you pass a signal through this box even with the knobs zero'ed out, what comes out the other side is bigger, more massive and yet fully under control. This is glue in the form of EQ, and it keeps me from having to rely quite as much on compression later on down the signal chain. This on its own would be enough to seal the deal for me, but when I started to tweak the EQ on the 511, I really got a sense for the power that this unit wields.
This is not a tool for the tweakers - it is the broad-stroke EQ to rule all broad-stroke EQ's. That means you can be gentle when you need to, and when you want to drastically manipulate the signal you can do so without ruining what was originally captured.
Use this eq when tracking guitars, bass, keys, horns, vocals, or nearly anything you're working with. and then make sure you come back with it on your master bus. It's easy to land on great settings with this EQ, so you won't waste time second guessing what you've just done.
Manufacturer's Description from Pete's Place
The Electrodyne 511b is a feature-updated and greatly expanded version of the legendary 511 two-band discrete-transistor active inductor eq. The 511b uses the same vintage design inductors, opamps and transformers as the 511 and original Electrodyne 711L eq from 1970. Custom inductors and transformers are still made by the original manufacturer to strict factory tolerances as precise as 2% and high quality film capacitors are used throughout all eq circuits. This allows consistent eq repeatability from channel to channel that was not possible in the 60's & 70's, as well as smooth performance and response from minimum to maximum gain at all frequencies that provides unusually musical sonic and tonal options, not experienced since the 1970,s. New features: -23 more eq selections than the 511 for a total of 36: 6 Peaking positions per band with standard and narrow bandwidth on each, plus one bonus frequency, for a total of 25 Peak selections. 6 Shelving positions per band, for a total of 12 Shelf selections. -Stepped-gain pots with 1db steps from +/-1db to +/-6db, and unity-gain calibration trimmer for precision recall and mastering use. -Special note: The 511b includes all eq selections, curves and performance found on the 511, so 511 & 511b eqs can be used together as stereo matched pairs when set to the same Peak / Shelf, bandwidth and gain settings.
