Q&A
Q: HOW DOES THE PBX-1 EQ COMPARE TO OTHER HIGH END EQS?
It
probably can't be compared. In fact, it is so different, that perhaps we should call it ‘tone
shaper’. We mean, thanks to the Blender contorl, the Iron Bypass and the tube sound,
you can model and sclupture the sound in a way that other Eq
́
s can
́
t. So
it is designed
as a creative tool.
Q: IS IT A PARAMETRIC EQ?
No, it is more a Baxandall EQ combined with
the Mid-cut control that gives a unique curve frequency response. So you can
creates new tone filters reactions to the sound.
Q: WHAT IS THE PRIMARY INTENDED APPLICATION?
This is designed
primary for the master bus in a mix, but this is an EQ for the Music...this EQ is
equally suited for tracking, mixing and mastering, and to creates something
different that from your original source.
Q: WHAT EXACTLY IS THE ‘IRON BYPASS’ BUTTON?
This is an output
transfomer bypass switch. This ouptut transformer is part of a classic midrange
sound, when you byppas it, you smooth the dynamic of the sound, so you
have a new sound option. We use to recommend it we you hit hard the input of
the Equaliser, for example, at the output of a analog console, or a summing
mixer or even as the master insert in your DAW. In those cases, users tend to
work in high volume levels so if you press the Iron Bypass, the PBX.1 Eq will
sound a bit more dynamic and open. But maybe you prefer the sound of the
transformer: just try and enjoy!
Q: WHAT TUBES DO I NEED?
The PBX-1 Eq works with EF86 tubes. As well
known, the life of the tubes down with the pass of the years. In case you have
to replace it, very simple: open the top cover with the unit completely off. And
you will see the tubes inside the unit. Take out those tubes from the socket
tube and replace it.
