Description

Taking inspiration from the legendary ‘Motown EQ’, the Drawmer MQ-2 is a stereo, 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. However, the MQ-2 is not only an EQ, it also incorporates an effortless to use one knob compressor as well as added Crush harmonics to tame and add warmth to your audio.

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 and Compressor the more Crush you’ll get!
