Taking inspiration from the legendary ‘Motown EQ’, the MQ-1 is a single channel 7 band proportional Q Equaliser with EQ curves akin to the renowned EQ’s used in the illustrious Detroit studios in the 1960’s.
This 100% analogue EQ, features 7 bell curves, each having a variable cut/boost of ±10dB and set at the beautifully musical frequencies of the original.
The proportional-Q design ensures the bandwidth of each band adjusts automatically with gain, providing a more intuitive and musical EQ experience.
The EQ circuit is precisely what most people need in a tracking situation. This is a no-fuss / get a good sound EQ.
But it doesn't stop there, what truly sets the MQ-1 apart is its inclusion of the highly regarded ‘CRUSH’ feature present on the Drawmer 1971. When you activate the crush circuit, get ready for some pleasing harmonic saturation and that classic analogue warmth that adds a ton of character to any signal passing through the unit. The result? It fattens up the bass, adds presence to the mids, and brings a delightful shimmer to the top end. The harder you drive the EQ the more Crush you’ll get!
Proudly designed and manufactured in our UK factory, the MQ-1 embodies the Drawmer commitment to quality, precision, and sonic excellence.
Whether you're chasing the soulful tones of the past or shaping new tones of your own, the MQ-1 is the tool that will bring your music to life with unmistakable warmth, depth, and detail.
