Frequently Asked Questions
It's a simpler 2-band EQ, less versatile than modern options, but provides a distinct vintage character and boosts the essential low and high frequencies.
The 'D' profile is generally comfortable, but can feel a bit more substantial than flatter profiles; it’s a good fit for most, but might not be ideal for very large hands.
The high-gloss finish is beautiful but shows fingerprints easily; a quality polish and careful handling are recommended to maintain its appearance.
