Kuassa EVE-AT1 and EVE-AT4

Kuassa EVE-AT1 and EVE-AT4

A pair of EQs that are inspired by the classic Neve 1081 and 1084 hardware units. The AT1 is a four-band affair and the AT4 is a three-band device. Both are designed for tone shaping rather than surgical/corrective processes, and are said to have a sound that’s smooth and ‘musical’.

I’ve been playing the piano, gigging in bands and failing to finish tracks at home for more than 30 years, 24 of which I’ve also spent writing about music and the ever-changing technology used to make it.
