List your favorite EQ's

[Revelation]

Your favorite colored EQ For me it's the Manley Massive Passive

Worthy notice is the Great River EQ.

Your favorite clean EQ Though the Ibis is close, I still love the GML EQ

Worthy notice also is the new Langevin Mini Massive. It is able to make any of my tracking sound better while maintaining the original sound.

[3rd world order]

I dig the crunchy lil summit pultec.... and anything Neve.

my favorite new EQ technique is boosting above a lowpass or below a highpass... fun fun fun..

[84K]

Colored no doubt is a PULTEC EQP-1a3

Clean no doubt a SHEP SN-8. Although it is not crystal clean, it is like a Neve only it doesn't bring quite as much of its own color. It adds to color that is already there. A Magical EQ.
A lot of times Neve EQs are too colored for me and I prefer Shep. Sometimes I like to hear the guitar like it sounds at the amp without the extra color of a 1073 or 1081.

rediscovered my love for the massivo this past week. gonna buy a new one next month. had one about a year and a half ago and dumped it like a jerk. now i've gotta buy it again.

[TravisK]

A-Range

[midnightsun]

The three favorites of the dozen or so that I have are:
1. Neve 1084 pair
2. Massive Passive
3. Logic Pro's Linear EQ plugin is the EQ that I use most often-- No one ever hypes it but I am very happy with it.

[Soldier777c]

I'd like to send a quick shout out to the GML 8200.

[numrologst]

colored: germanium tone control
slightly colored: api 550a
uncolored: lil freq

My lil freqs are my most prized pieces. Far more than any vintage gear, indispensible in my opinion

[b3player]

Chose and use:
Ibis...top and bottom
Massive Passive...mids
Orban 672As...surgical... very neat paragraphics.
Or any combination the song asks for.

[seaneldon]

oh. i've gotta add wunder peq to the list. hot damn. i wonder what i'd do with 24 of them......

[Musiclab]

My current favs are my CLM expounder, my Millienia NSEQ1, and my 9098's which are still I think the best carving tool of the bunch

[cdog]

Massive Passive fan here. I like the Ibis but I prefer the color of the Manley. Something about what it does to the bass is just yummy.

[Stitch333]

Then:
and I really like the oram HD-EQ2

pultecs of course

my favorite for a while has been a pair of tele W695s...so chunky!

Now: a few racks of tele W695s and W295s
and a few racks of Noiman W491s and PEVs and would be covered

pultecs of course

[superburtm]

550A
1081

[microstudio]

Channel EQ's in my SAWStudio mixer.

[Ollie]

1. My Favorite is a Lang EQ my friend has. This is truly an exciting eq
2. Pultecs are wonderful
3. Now in no specific order: Daking, Helios, API 550A are all great eq's.

[sdd17]

Just got the Inward Connections 6band Parametric
pretty awesome box can really work magic
Merry Xmas to all

[Jim vanBergen]

Summit EQP200. Great color, pultec response.

unsung hero: Meyer CP-10 parametric. Super clean!

Channel EQ: Aurora GTQ-2 Mk2, and Chandler Channel Mk2. Both have vibe & mojo well worth mentioning!

[u b k]

pultec

api 550a

i also love the sound workshop 1280 eq's, because that's mostly what i got, and it's a good idea to love what ya got.

Ditto.

[dokushoka]

API 550b, guitars and random rock things
Massive Passive
Ibis
GML 8200
Neve 1084

I love all of those for different reasons, but currently don't own any, so I'm at the mercy of the rooms I go to, which, often leads to dissappointment.

[Revelation]

I found it interesting that no one picked the Great River EQ.

I think many will like the Min Massive. I am awe struck on the clean but gentle color it adds.

The Empircal Labs Lil Freq also seems to be a damm good clean EQ. Don't like the look of it much, but it seems like a great sculpting EQ.

Of course Cranesong has made a huge mark with the Ibis. One EQ will never fit the bill for everything, but even having one of these hardware EQ's that you all have mentioned seem to help out tracks a lot.

I've gotta say that I while I've only had my Lil' FrEQ in use for a short time, I'm loving it for vocals and VO (although it's overkill for VO IMO).

Definitely a prized piece in the rack.

Sphere 900 series
