All user reviews of 4/5 for the Electrix EQ Killer

The Electrix EQ Killer is a rack able piece of gear that almost any musician or engineer can appreciate. it’s a smaller unit but provides a very big analog sound. The EQ Killer gives you total control over the transforming the sound you want to get out of it. It can really change the frequencies and do it better than a lot of built in ones that come in softwares today. This is one piece of hardware that is not only affordable but can really make your music go to a different level. I usually only use the built in eq parameters that come in fl studio and cubase and sometimes in pro tools but when I get a chance to use the Electrix EQ Killer you can almost tell just by being a listener that something different was used in my work.
Some of the effects are a wah sound as well as some powerful filtering (analog).


UTILIZATION

The elecrix EQ Killer is very easy to use and understand as long as you have a basic understand of some of the functions most eq’a have. Plus its hardware so its all right in front of you with knobs that you can play around with to get something that you will really like.


SOUND QUALITY

The Electrix EQ Killer will help you easily get the sounds out of the way that you don’t want there and lets be honest. A lot instruments and sounds have certain frequencies in them that don’t mesh well with your project, well with the Electrix EQ Killer you will have no problem filtering them all out and getting the best results while doing so.


OVERALL OPINION

Overall, its worth the buy. Especially if you have never used an analog Eq before. It will be a little different at first but once you see how much more powerful it is that the basic built in ones in your software you will tell the difference right away.

The Electrix EQ Killer filter is a classic equalization unit in the form of a rackable piece of outboard gear. It is an all analog unit and it will take up two rack space units.


UTILIZATION

The configuration of the Electrix EQ Killer is very easy to follow and to use. It basically has two bands - one for low frequency and one for high frequency. For each of these, it has a knob to choose the exact frequency, and knobs for boost and attenuation. It also has a bandwidth knob that applies to both of the bands and has an attenuation selector that also applies to both of the bands. I don't have the manual for this EQ, as it is old and rare, but I never needed it and if you have ever used a basic EQ you should have no issues with this.


SOUND QUALITY

The sound quality of the Electrix EQ Killer is awesome in every aspect. It is an effective EQ, with all the parameters needed to do the job well. It has become a classic piece of gear for one reason, and that is because it just sounds so good. I have used this on everything from lead vocals to guitars and drums, always with great results. In terms of outboard EQs, it doesn't get much better than this.


OVERALL OPINION

I've been using the Electrix EQ Killer filter for about two years and whenever I have access to it, I always use it. It is extremely expensive now because of how rare and coveted they are, so I would only recommend trying to purchase this to those who are really looking to put together or add to a top flight professional studio. For the rest of us, we are lucky to be able to use these. Overall, the Electrix EQ Killer is one of the best EQ/filters ever made. Def, buy it.
