The unique EQ curves and frequency points are designed to operate in the areas most needed when working on a stereo bus, making it possible to enhance or correct a stereo bus intuitively in a musically satisfying way. The unique Attitude control allows for precise, subtly warm, natural sound or can progressively introduce valve saturation and harmonics for extra warmth, dirt and dynamic limiting.
