Sometimes you just don’t want to spend a lot of time searching for the ideal equalizer settings (and with such as IIEQPro and LP10, you can easily lose yourself in all cases), but just turn pen and make sure it sounds right, because someone else has come up with the most musical answer for you.
In the case of the equalizer 6144, this person was the designer of the Neve Portico 5033, which was a role model for this software equalizer. Hats off to a man! The unique gain-Q interaction and specially designed filters for low and high frequencies ensure that you can even apply extreme settings without getting sharp or cloudy results. Add a little saturation for this extra heat, and voila!
