FG-N

The FG-N is a digital recreation of one of the most classic discrete Class A British equalizers from the 70’s. All aspects of the circuit are faithfully modeled, including the natural saturation and rich harmonics that this equalizer is famous for producing. The original model only contained one mid band, so we thought it would be nice to add another, giving this EQ a lush, fat, and bold sound. It sounds great on everything from drums to vocals, and adds tasteful color to synths and other electronic elements.

High-Shelf

The High-Shelf has only one Gain Control. This band operates at a fixed frequency.

EQ Bands 1 and 2

The EQ Bands have two controls: Frequency and Gain. Clicking on the frequency value labels will snap the Frequency Knob to the indicated value.

Low-Shelf

The Low-Shelf Band has two controls: Frequency and Gain. Clicking on the frequency value labels will snap the Frequency Knob to the indicated value.

High-Pass Filter

The High-Pass Filter Frequency Knob controls the frequency of the high-pass filter. When set to “Off”, the High-Pass is disabled.

Line & Drive

Line gain reduces the headroom of the equalizer, driving it into saturation and increasing the output level. You’ll notice it’s effect especially when using the filter gains.

With Drive enabled, the Line gain output will be compensated by the same level that it is raised. Providing the same saturation effects without an increase in level¹.

1. When disabling Drive, the Line knob will reset to 0dB. This is a simple UI link designed to protect your speakers and ears from a large jump in volume. ↩
