Hey Guys,
did a very quick EQ type shootout this afternoon with Member D.F. to help him decide what EQ to choose for his 24 channel console.
It's actually pretty amazing listening to different generations of EQ/line amp side by side.

E with Brown (02)
G with Pink HF (292)
G+ with Black E series (242)
E with Brown 02: Very harmonic, and the eq sculpts beautifully, guessing this is the original SSL sonic. Has a great vibe, and it loved drums and bass. Top end get's a little out of control above 10k. Amazing punch, this has to be the Drums :-)
G with Pink HF 292: much cleaner sonic, noted before the eq was switched in.
Having just auditioned the Brown, subtractive eq sounded very hollow, this will be useful for loosing the middle out of a Fender Rhodes.
Also good on bass, it missed the attitude of the E, but noted the top-end is much more useable and sweet. Multiply and Divide buttons, are very new to me, so looking to explore them a bit further.
You're trading a chunk of 'crunch and punch' from the generation before, for a cleaner more polished tones :-)
G with 242: Classic black eq, cleaner than the E due to the line amp. With steeper filtering and taller Bell curves, than the Brown, the amount of 100hz you can add to a Bass guitar is totally, out of this world crazy. Top end did seem better and the 02, but that might be the cleaner line amp fooling things.
The fact is, it would be very dull, just to be stuck with a single 4K flavour, in a mix they'll have something unique to offer… or at least that's the plan!!!
Looking forward to the first mix on my 24, even more
