As I said above, I don't have any experience with the original API gear so I'm not out to get 'clones' or anything, after all I could still buy the original API EQs.
I plan to get 4 of the same EQs though, mainly for drum tracking, and so would like to know if there's any reason NOT to go all Avedis.
BTW, I also got an LTD-1 and plan to get a second one eventually, love the EQ on acoustic guitar and also on snare/kick. |
Good question. Well, Avedis makes sure to tell people that the E27 is a completely unique design. It's not a clone of anything at all. It would probably compare more towards the 550a than anything else, as both EQ's have the proportional Q thing going on.. But, the E27 has 9 frequencies per band (compared to 5) and a greater amount of boost and cut. Sound wise, it could be said that it has a little more color at the fundamentals than the 550a. I can't think of any reason to not go all Avedis.
