worth it
If you need an excellent analog stereo EQ with dual ganged controls that are detented this thing sounds excellent and is perfectly matched. Utterly phenomenal value for dollar. Very british sound in the trident/soundcraft/midas style but almost fully parametric! Sounds good broad and van get surgical, incredibly versatile, highly musical filters. Just passing stereo through it adds a little something to it. It of course can be used mono if needed but not dual mono, so what? For just under a grand its hard to deny the 1974....
