Some EQs such as the 1073 actually get some of their smoothness from high-end rolloff. It helps boost the highs without getting too harsh. Considering the aliasing problem when you start doing that with plugins, it REALLY helps.
thanks guys and beachnut...the high roll off actually makes a lot of sense...good point.

terminal3, i will check out psp neon for this and see if it does what i'm lookking for. so far the v-series VEQ3 is doing wonders, it adds highs gratiously.
