Description

Taking inspiration from the legendary ‘Motown EQ’, the Drawmer MQ-1 is a single channel 7-band proportional Q parametric equalizer with EQ curves akin to the renowned EQs used in the illustrious Detroit studios in the 1960s. This 100% analog EQ, features 7 bell curves, each having a variable cut/boost of ±10 dB and set at the beautifully musical frequencies of the original.

But it doesn’t stop there, in addition it incorporates the highly regarded ‘CRUSH’ feature present on the Drawmer 1971. When you activate the crush circuit, get ready for some pleasing harmonic saturation and that classic analogue warmth that adds a ton of character to any signal passing through the unit. The result? It fattens up the bass, adds presence to the mids, and brings a delightful shimmer to the top end. The harder you drive the EQ the more Crush you’ll get! Designed and manufactured in England, this is THE classic warm analog sound you’ve been looking for.
