Every now and then, something comes along and you just gotta have it.I was one of the lucky ones to try Peter Montessi's (A Designs) Beta Unit First Article "Hammer HM2EQ" which is a two channel tube EQ.The Lo Freq. is 30-400, the Mid Freq. 250-2K, and Hi Freq. 2.5-15K. All have a Cut/Boost pot, as well as a Hi and Lo Cut switch, and EQ In/Out switch.I've been looking for something to replace the Avalon 747, which I consider to be a half decent unit on the stereo buss, excluding its compressor. I mix OTB using the 192, A Designs MP-2A for gain, a Folcrom, Lavry , Super Stereo Comp, 747, SPL Monitor Cont, to Adams. Like any new piece of equipment, I wasn't sure what to expect. I've been mixing with a certain sound, and now I was going to change that with a unit I had never tried. Well let me tell you something, it took roughly 90 seconds to replace the 747 with the Hammer.It's always difficult to describe sound, because what's great to one persons ears, is subjective to another. Without adding or subtracting any EQ, what the Hammer did was add some Mid's, or another way of saying it is, it gave the mix a very open, airy and life like quality to it. It sounds amazing. It's clean, yet with the tube's, you get a fat sound that totally compliments the MP-2A, especially when using it in my particular chain.I added some Hi's and Lo's and found it was very easy to attain the sound I was looking for. With the 747, you couldn't dial into any frequencies, but the Hammer makes it very easy to do so.I brought up a few Pro Tools sessions I had mixed with the 747, and remixed using the Hammer. I then compared the 747 mixes along side the Hammer mixes, and I'm just blown away. I remember getting the Pacifica and thinking how great everything sounded through it. Since then, I've purchased the MP-2A, the REDDI and now with the Hammer, it's totally the icing on the cake deal for me. A Designs is coming out with some great product. You really can't say that about too many companies these days.Again, Peter has created a monster. If you get the opportunity to test one, I highly recommend you do. You won't be disappointed. That I guarantee you.Privatverkauf. Kein Garantie, Rücknahme oder Umtausch.
