The 1971 offers 2 channels of fully featured 4-band parametric EQ. It has the ability to perform subtle shaping for mastering purposes that require a delicate touch and easy recall, but is just as capable of tonal sculpting, adding the analogue warmth and character that is near impossible to emulate in the digital domain.
A feature that is unique to the 1971 is the CRUSH button. A switchable option available on each band, it adds a fixed time constant, auto gain makeup compressor, whilst also giving a wider rounder bandwidth. In addition it introduces some musically pleasing harmonics. It'll Fatten your bass, enhance the Presence of your mids, and bring out the Shimmer in the top end.
