The 'M-Equalizer’ is based on a stereo-ganged tube mastering equalizer that acts like a broad shaping tone control for the mix. With the “MOJO" (tube drive), "Bass", "Mid", "High" and "Air" controls, along with the choice to have a cleaner signal ‘LoZ' or a more coloured ‘HiZ’ (high impedance) switchable option, the EQ becomes versatile and quick to dial in. The EQ points and curves are extremely musical, allowing broad shaping of the mix with precise control. The sound is deliciously smooth and big due to the minimalistic circuit and the all-tube and transformer signal
path.

Because of the high interactivity between bands, it would’ve been overwhelming to sample every possible combination that the hardware has to offer. To help circumnavigate this while keeping the sonic signature more accurate to the device in terms of band interaction, phase response and harmonics, Tim and Matt came up with the ‘mastering presets’ idea where I set about to sample several 'mastering-appropriate' settings, ranging from subtle EQ variations from one preset to the next, to more specifically tailored settings across 11 different presets.

The ‘M Equalizer’ also has a set of ‘Mix’ based programs where each band of the hardware device was sampled from full cut, flat and full boost which are then interpolated to give you the full range of control over each band individually. One of the most significant programs from the Mix series is the 'Smiley/Frown’ program, which instantly makes an impact as you begin to turn it up or down.

The bonus programs were specifically created with analog tone and colour in mind. The ‘AT’ pre is sampled on a set of fully restored 70’s console channel strips which have a 4-band inductor EQ, Jensen input transformers and Triad output transformers. The 'AT HD’ pre is the same device but with the EQ dialed in specifically with warmer frequencies emphasized and was further aided by adding a healthy dose of pentode, triode and tape harmonics from a secondary device to complete the warmer, thicker, glued in sound, for use on sterile digital mixes that could benefit from such treatment. The ’N’ pre was sampled from a well-known vintage British console summing amplifier card which had been converted into a stereo line amp. The colour on this one is more on the subtle side but what it adds is desirable. The harmonic emphasis is on the lows and midrange making it useful for almost any style of music.

We hope you enjoy using this Nebula library as much as we have enjoyed making it for you. Both channels of the hardware were dynamically sampled through a high-end signal chain with mastering-level converters to capture every nuance of the hardware units as closely as possible. All hardware devices were serviced and then calibrated to get the most out of every preset.
