Yeah, it was an over simplification. There are many differences between the 914 and the typical graphic EQ for mixing or speaker correction. There are some graphic EQs which are inductor based, like the 914 but still the intended application is certainly different. I just thought that it was a useful comparison, 'cause I'm sure we all have had experience making strange curves on a graphic EQ, just to hear what it would do to the sound.toonertik wrote: ↑Sat Dec 04, 2021 1:09 am Hmmm I'm thinking about that correlation 'tween band pass filters and graphics... sort of but..
when I had my live rig I came out of the mixer into Klark Technics teknik 31 (or was it 33) band graphics into DBX160 .. not sure Id use a 914 to correct for live room work.. (that was back in late 1970's/1980's well before Behringer bought them.. the EQs were inductor type.. really so musical.. I kick my butt now, a few weeks ago a Technics teknik (before name change) a dual 11 band went for £180.. at the time I was nah.. now I .. oh fk nostalgia>> )
yeah.. gonna get me a Surge for £47>> :shug :$55/60
Incidentally, a good friend of mine has a rack EQ made by Moog. It's a 3-band parametric and if I remember correctly they were all peak filters. It was a little noisy but it distorted really nicely.
Edit: Oh I didn't realize Moog made a 10 band graphic EQ in the same format as the 3-band parametric. Here is an interesting comparison of couple of the different Moog filter banks...
