Overview
The SD-PE1 provides a realistic reproduction of a classic passive EQ while also providing unique features only possible through digital emulation and modeling.
Toggle the ‘Tube’ Stage
A natural side effect of passive EQs is that the audio coming out of them will always be significantly quieter than the audio going in. To combat this, the original hardware featured a tube amplifier stage after the EQ. We’ve made it possible to turn this stage on and off, which means you can remove those saturation and color effects from the processed signal without a drop in output level.
More Flexible Frequencies
Extra Tone-Shaping Tools
On the original hardware model, frequency selection for processing was limited to what was presented on the front of the hardware. However, in addition to adding extra frequencies to each band, we’ve also made selection both stepped and incremental. It’s a tinkerer’s paradise!
A Piece of Production History
Now Part of The Legendary Virtual Mix Rack
The piece of hardware that directly inspired this plugin has been a studio staple since it was first introduced in the early 1960s. Its addition to Virtual Mix Rack’s ever-expanding plugin ecosystem brings even more historic analog processing power and color right to your DAW.
