Features

The FG-A is modeled after a fixed frequency and gain three band EQ. But we decided to do you the favor of making it a four band EQ by doubling up the mid band. We also include the option to make the EQ continuous by clicking a modifier key while adjusting gain or frequency. This gives you an unparalleled level of control.
One of the most famous aspects of this EQ is the color and vibe imparted from it’s famous discrete opamp and transformers. We spent nearly a year recreating the exact characteristics of these components resulting in a beautiful, fat, warm slightly saturated tone that sounds incredible. You can bypass the nonlinear behavior to make the EQ more surgical and clean.
