Electric and company labor over every single aspect of design, components and build. I would expect nothing short of impeccable results.

Hi there, RGO. The EC5B is, indeed, our take on the 175B circuit. Basically, it’s a 175B with extended Attack range, a SC filter section, and calibration controls brought to the front(for ease of setup). Sonically, it’s pretty darn nice sounding. Slightly less of the pronounced mid-peak of the original, but with extended low end response. The top end is extended, as well. These don’t, however, have the top end “sheen” that a lot of more modern boxes have, so take that for what it’s worth. You get fast and reactive limiting action with a nice, rich, classic tone. I really love em on most anything. I have been asked a few times in the past, so I’ll address this here for everyone’s benefit- I, personally, would not use these on a mix bus. You *could* do that, but they are pretty reactive. In general, this circuit really does best with individual elements that you really want to PUSH forward in a mix and hold. Hope this adds some value to the discussion. M

I'd really like to know the differences in tone between the 3 6 and 7 and I'm sure the other folks here would as well.

Count me in as interested in the pres too! The whole lineup looks solid and attractively priced. Welcome to the forum btw.

Ok folks, I started a thread to outline/discussion preamps of our line.

Sounds especially tasty on guitar there. Looks great too.
