Love my electra. It spends a lot of time on my drum buss right after an Overstayer Stereo VCA. I find I can turn some knobs and give a little bit of uniqueness to each drum mix to help my work flow from getting too stale. I personally like the fact that it's not labeled with frequencies. I find as an engineer you sometimes get lazy and unintentionally cocky about EQ'ing and "fixing." The electra brakes me out of that mold and makes me listen. I love it for that.

Plug's very good. I'll have to just dream about the hardware atm, but all things considered not expensive compared to some 500 modules. |

I demo'd both the Electra and the Sly-Fi (sames guy's other company) 'Axis'. Ended up buying the Axis instead. Both were great. The Electra was a lot more DSP hungry and seamed s bit narrower in the mid bands. The Axis has a killer saturation circuit. Just wish it had the filter of the electra. Was a close call, both excellent and more a taste thing than a quality thing.

Wonder why Kush branded differently? Would be nice if he posted here, but he hasn't been around in a while.

Kush is getting ready to release a new version of the software that Uses less CPU.

I've just been demo-ing the Kush Omega Transformer preamp emulations on drums and I'm very impressed. The Hammer EQ is also pretty cool. Makes me really think about that hardware. I was on the fence but decided to go for a synthesizer instead, since a deal came along.

Well, right after we finished the Electra, I designed the Chop Shop right to be a companion piece that could address the way I like to mix bass guitar. It was all the remaining filtering features I thought would be awesome to have in a comprehensive dream EQ: low pass filter (6 or 12 dB/oct), high pass filter with variable resonance (bump), and a tilt-style filter I call Focus with two center frequency options. Like the Electra, it's the kind of EQ that invites you to turn knobs until it sounds good. Due to the physical real estate limitions of a 500 series faceplate, you can only fit so many knobs and switches so it meant making two separate modules. The Electra and Chop Shop share the exact same circuit topology in terms of being a low-noise, high bandwidth design using the same LME49720 op amps, with no electrolytics in the signal path. Technically the Electra has one electrolytic bypassed with a film cap, but there's a jumper to set it to DC coupled. The Chop Shop instead has a DC servo, and it, too, can be defeated via a jumper. The caps are the same Wima MKP2 and FKP2 film types throughout. Both circuits have the same power supply decoupling giving them both huge resevoirs of current on demand, which helps both keep low end transients punchy. I own a Chop Shop and am thinking about pairing it with an Electra 500. I was wondering since you've used words like "can be defeated via jumper" when talking about the DC coupling/Servo is that something you'd advise I do if pairing them? If so, should both/one be defeated or should a dumb guy like me just leave 'em be?  Thanks! Hi, Cool! It's not really necessary to move that jumper. I really just put it in there for my own anal purposes. If you move the jumper to "servo off" and you have upstream gear feeding the Chop Shop that outputs DC then you might hear that as scratchiness when you turn the pots. It's best to just leave the servo on as it will cancel out any DC at the inputs. Brad |
