It's the best.
I had been using this product very effectively as a plugin, and I saw in some reviews that the hardware's excellence was well inherited by the plugin. Although there were no special differences from the plugin, I purchased the actual hardware out of pure fan spirit and satisfaction.
However, the reviews weren't completely accurate. In my monitoring system, this product had quite a few differences from the plugin (positively so). The part I was most satisfied with is that the stereo image sounds almost 3D. This is incredibly attractive and grows my music several times over.
The implementation and quality of the plugin are amazing, but the actual hardware's museq is genuinely a remarkable work. I feel like buying several more units of this product. When I tried it on the master bus, I felt the need to frequently change it if used on individual instrument inserts, which makes me want to buy another one. Fortunately, I already own an XFILTER, so I am using the two in combination. Anyway, it's the best. The stereo image, the pleasant texture in warm mode, the finish of the product, everything about this EQ is perfect.
If you really need just one all-round stereo EQ, just buy this product. It's not worth pondering over; this is the right answer. It's not a replica of any other hardware EQ but a pure original design, and its sound is the best of the best. Personally, I think it's so remarkable that it could rival the Maselec MEA-2.
It operates on Class-A, so it gets a bit warm, but it runs stably. If you allow a bit of space and rack mount it, this one product will naturally result in your sound being sweet, smooth, deep, wide, lovely, and unique.
From the moment you decide to buy this product and press the purchase button, you have already grown into a musician of another dimension. I highly recommend it. I can confidently say that it's the best musical investment I've ever made.
