Not something i was freting about, its just i fianlly got my hands on a distressor and 1176 recently and have been blown away by how awesome these sound and the difference these can make even compared to the likes of the 1176 plugins etc.
So after this was wondering what route i could go down for using better sounding EQs.
Equality for transparency, and I guess if you want some character eqs, there are stuff like Trident A-Range, Abbey Road RS127/135 and PE1C (Pultec-style), but they are very expensive.
