Golden Age EQ81

Description

The class-AB circuit used in the EQ-81 is similar to the eq section in the classical 1081 module, without thehigh and low pass filters.

The sound character is warm, punchy, sweet and musical. These classic characteristics have been heardon countless recordings through the years and it is a versatile sound that works very well on most soundsources and in most genres. The essence of this sound is now available at a surprisingly low cost, making itavailable to nearly everyone.

The EQ-81 is not intended to be used as a standalone EQ. It is designed to be used together with one of theGolden Age Project models that has an insert jack. It can also be used with some other product that has a lowlevel (about -18 dBu to -10 dBu) unbalanced insert connector.Combining one of our PRE-73 units and an EQ-81 and using a UNITE rack kit to mount them together, one willget a 19-inch 1081-style unit at a low cost and with a great sound!
