FWIW, I am not aware of any such change with the Red 2, which I actually think can be a pretty nice EQ. I especially like the top shelf and the low-mid band.

Thanks for the reply Dave - it had better be a pretty nice EQ, apparently the new retail price here (in Australia) is close to $11,000 AUS which is a lot of hot lunches. It's actually the shelving that I'm interested in with Red. I have a Massive Passive and just thinking maybe I have listened to my "Slutz" side too much recently and don't really need the Red EQ - trouble is I've always liked the "High End" Focusrite EQ's, and this is a lot less than $11,000. Really like them on Female vocals.

Hey TommyD - that was the mildest "hijack" of any thread I've ever posted - you were still in the parameters of the Red Series, and have led me to think I'll contact Focusrite myself and see what they have to say.

Thanks for your comments.
