Duende EQ = Electri-Q

Not wanting to believe, I duped some noise and tried to null the Duende channel high shelf EQ, which I've always thought was doing something magical that sounded unlike any other EQ. Electri-Q was quickly able to get the difference down to -65db. But only in eco mode.

shocked.

comparing the two EQs then on some strings, acoustic guitars, and hats, I don't think i can tell the difference. Although I really want to... after buying a Duende and all the plugins. What sold me initially on the Duende was the EQ.

The small players like Electri-Q, and even DAWs should totally advertise their products with a list of expensive digital EQs that they can null. I'm surprised they haven't yet.

No wonder my mixes don't sound much better!
