Who makes nice outboard eq's?

Looking for outboard eq units to suplement the basic ones in my console.

price range?

Could answer anything from the Specks at $450 each to the Massive Passive or GML in the $4-5000 range each. As far as supplementing channel strips types, probably the Speck on up to the API. The API would probably be ideal, and run about $1k each channel.

Opinions on the Speck EQs? I to am in the market for some outboard EQs, but my monitary limitations would prevent anything beyond $1k/unit. The price of the Specks is very attractive considering I could grab 2 for the price of one API.

Thanks.

The Speck Model ASC is a good EQ. It's a tad musical and very well made.

There has been plenty of good vibes from Speck users. Some folks I see like the transformer units best, but I have seen some pretty in-the-know replies here say they liked the non-transformer unit better. Perhaps buy both from Fletcher and return the one you do not care for most?

Just buy the transformer version because I believe it has both outputs -- transformer and non-transformer. then if you think the non trans version is your cup o tea, return to Mercenary for a swap.

Wink

DBX 242. (major sleeper)
Runs around $100 used.
Can be modded for further enhancement.
Sounds excellent as-is though.
Used for major label work at Harvey Gerst's studio.

The console is a 28 channel Biamp Legend. The eq's sound nice but are very basic in operation. We also have a Peavey AMR 2400 but that one is for sale.
