MXR M124 Dual 15-Band Graphic Equalizer

This is a two-channel equalizer 15 band rack, analog format. A power button function, a button in / out reserved to bypass it seems to me (info on this subject are very rare, all the specialists that I frequent do not know). Everything smells strength. In short, a jack in, jack out (or two if both channels are used!) And roll youth!

UTILIZATION

Enter the outset in the defects on my model power is very short! So that to connect it to the mains sometimes it's complicated! As I said the details are hard to find so much to say that there are no manual. After that remains eq bands, buttons for their age move easily, the effective range is about ± 12 db, this is perfect!

SOUND QUALITY

So the big question I ask myself is: is this eq has a line or guitar level input? I have not found the answer to my question (if anyone has it, I'm happy!). So, I tried to answer by experiment. But experience is as convincing on my monitor speakers on my guitar amp (transistor and lamp). So I do not know, but hey, it's his business, and the bands are rather specific! In any case, the next test on the guitar it works hell (the bands involved), the 16k brings the air, the highs are very nice. Musical side test, the result is the same, each fader movement brings something (provided you have speakers which broadcast sound well!). On low it also works very well!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it in my studio for decision, and sometimes for a comparative listen to my own mix on the same monitorings (as they are a bit dark, I add them to compare acute)

I had a lot of machines in the hands, and it stands up very well! For the vintage is excellent! I would do this choice, if he sold a little more!
