The 1084 can make tracks that didn't sound muddy, seem like they WERE muddy once its inline. Though don't get me wrong, my other EQs aren't going up for sale! The GML can do surgery MUCH better, as well as transparent, but for quick return, girth and instant gratification, its the 1084. Each has their own strong points but my first grab for vox, bass and drums/snare is the 1084. Generally stomps api 550s, GML 8200, quad eights etc. Again, I love the pres but they don't stomp my APIs, GMLs, or others.īut that eq. The 1081 has more freq choices than the 1084 but the preamp is class A/B so I didn't include it.Īnd I agree with you Bluzzi, the preamps are nice, but my 1084s were beat by the chandler LTD1 for vocal size and presence- consistently. Do any of the neves have continually variable frequency choices?None that I know of have continuously variable freq choices. It is however, continually variable which I'm not sure any neves have. I have an arsenal audio r24 which sounds nice but has no high or low shelf. I know that you are talking actual neve which is different, and I hope to someday know what your talking about. Great post! I have an sca n72 but have never owned a neve type eq and have been looking to get something to complement my pres. If they only made a preamp model or a line level EQ model, which would it be? This assumes you have other options for both. And now that you own one, which is the king?Īnd again, a quick for any schmuck who wants to debate you can't choose between a preamp and an EQ. was it the preamp or the EQ that sold you more.

Sure Great River and AMS have released EQs in that vein but compared to the amount of preamps sold. Yet I paid less for my 1084s than most did for their 1073s.īut I always read so much about the preamps and the cloners release so many versions of the 10XX pres when, for me its all about the EQ. I actually pity those with 1073s as they lack my two favorite aspects- the high Q and the 16khz shelf. I like the pres, but the EQ on a 1084 is just stupid good. I ask just because for me, its the EQ without a doubt. Which do you like better- yes its apples to motorbikes- but if you had to choose one is it the preamp or the EQ that you love most?

This, for me, is really about the 1084 but so many have 1073s I thought I would mention those too- and actually feel free to include 1066, 1064, 1080, etc.
