Vintage British Desk

Modeled after the Neve 1084® Preamp/EQ, inject classic British vibes into your audio. With circuit-modeling of each component, it adds the same saturation and harmonics as the hardware, and extends the original’s capabilities with continuous frequency selection (as opposed to preset frequencies) and a second MID band, giving you precise control over the British Neve® vibes.

PAGE ONE CONTROLS [GAINS]

• INPUT

  Controls the input gain. At higher settings, harmonics are introduced by non-linear components of the model.
  Range: –12 dB to +12 dB

• MIC PRE ON/OFF

  Adds color, even without EQ. When engaged, the INPUT models the analog character of the mic-pre transformer. 


• LO

  Adjusts the gain for the LO FREQ control on Page 2.
  Range: –16 dB ~ +16 dB

• MID [1]
  
Adjusts the gain for the first MID FREQ control on Page 2.
  Range: –16 dB ~ +16 dB

• MID [2]
  Adjusts the gain for the second MID FREQ control on Page 2.
  Range: –16 dB ~ +16 dB

• HI

  Adjusts the gain for the HI FREQ control on Page 2.
  Range: –16 dB ~ +16 dB

• OUTPUT

  Adjusts the output level.
  Range: –16 dB ~ +16 dB

PAGE TWO CONTROLS [FREQS]

• [FILTER] HPF
  Controls the frequency cutoff of a highpass filter.
  Range: 45 Hz ~ 360 Hz

• [FILTER] LPF
  Controls the frequency cutoff of a lowpass filter.
  Range: 6 kHz ~ 18 kHz

• LO FREQ
  
Sets the shelved frequency that is reduced or increased by the LO gain control on Page 1.
  Range: 35 Hz ~ 220 Hz

• MID FREQ [1]
  Sets the frequency that is reduced or increased by the first MID gain control on Page 1.
  Range: 350 Hz ~ 7.2 kHz

• MID FREQ [2]
  Sets the frequency that is reduced or increased by the second MID gain control on Page 1.

  Range: 350 Hz ~ 7.2 kHz

• HI FREQ
  Sets the shelved frequency that is reduced or increased by the HI gain control on Page 1.
  Range: 10 kHz ~ 16 kHz

NOTE: The 1084 had fixed frequency choices, but here they are sweepable, with the original detents labeled.

• ULTRA / HQ
  Engages internal oversampling for the effect when ULTRA is selected.
