Pope Audio BAX 2020 Analogue Baxandall Shelf EQ

The Baxandall equaliser is a simple shelving EQ, but unlike traditional shelving EQs a Baxandall exhibits a gently rising slope for a more natural sound, and lower phase distortion. Perfect for adding top-end sparkle to a mix or stem, gently rolling off low-end mud on complex acoustic instruments or driving the input harder for subtle harmonic colouration.

Available in several configurations, Classic, Extra and Beast. Each model features a different arrangement of opamp and transformer combinations, depending on whether you’re looking for a super clean and natural sound or want to drive the unit for more harmonic character and saturation on bass-heavy material.

Three available options.
