Frequently Asked Questions

The digital interface manages recall and automation, but the signal passes through entirely analog circuitry, preserving the warmth and character of a high-end analog EQ.
It's a legitimate time-saver for quickly identifying and addressing problem frequencies, though it still requires careful listening and refinement.
It offers a different sonic signature - slightly more aggressive and colored than Weiss, but with more flexibility than a GML, making it a unique tool for specific mastering needs.
