The 1073 preamp yields a really fat sound. It seems to add subharmonics to the low end
which makes the bottom end sound huge. It smoothes the top end which gives the highs a
silky sheen. As well the 1073 compresses transients a little bit. It is a smooth, fat.,
larger than life sound. An added bonus is to use the DI inputs to fatten samples, synths
and mixes since the DI can handle line levels.
The 1073 equalizer is very broadbanded and musical. It has a hi-pass filter with four
frequencies- 50 Hz, 80 Hz, 160 Hz and 300 Hz. The low frequency band is shelving and has
four frequencies - 35 Hz, 60 Hz, 110 Hz and 220 Hz. The low end of this equalizer is so
tight that you can boost 220 Hz and not muddy up the sound. The mid band has six
frequencies - 360 Hz, 720 Hz, 1.6 kHz, 3.2 kHz, 4.8 kHz and 7.2 kHz. The bandwidth is
broad so you can boost or cut a lot without making things sound processed or unnatural.
The hi band is shelving and is fixed at 12 kHz. It is smooth and silky and a little goes
a long way.

6kHz, 8kHz, 10kHz, 14kHz and 18kHz. The low end of this equalizer is so tight that you
can boost 220Hz and not muddy up the sound. The mid band has six frequencies- 350Hz,
700Hz, 1.6kHz, 3.2kHz, 4.8kHz and 7.2kHz. As well, the 1084 has a "Hi-Q" button on the
mid band for narrower bandwidth. The high band is shelving and is selectable with three
frequencies- 10kHz, 12kHz and 16kHz. It is smooth and silky and a little goes a long way.
