In reply to mx. The auto gain is one of my favorite features of his plugins!

Ah, ok… I apparently didn’t connect that the numbers on the IN knob would be more about the amount of type-blending going on than the amt of gain. But ok, it’s a unique EQ, so I guess that works–thanks!

In reply to Bruno de Souza Lino.

am i misunderstanding your point?
actually autogain doesnt have to do with sound inside the plugin, it should correct just the pure level going out of the plugin without changing the sound which is created before the output stage.
so a plugin with autogain should be even better for experimenting with its settings and pushing it into distortion, because you can push it as far as you want without any change of volume coming out of the plugin in theory.
>thats the purpose of autogain

One of the biggest drawbacks of AO plugins still is the auto gain. For some reason, Tunca doesn’t want us to set the gain staging wrong or experiment with pushing his plugins…Even on the distortion ones.

In reply to JoeHF. i have not tried it myself, but just looking at it: the "in gain" doesnt seem to be a usual in gain, but rather something like a balance of pushing more signal into the a or the n side. i would suppose you can use one of the sides of each band then as a more coloured thing and the other side as a cleaner side, and use the trim pot for actually adjusting the input gain in front of the whole device.

Very neat idea! So, apologies if this is a dumb question, but I gotta ask, because you never know… If there’s already an in-gain, an out-gain, and individual freq channel gain knobs, what’s the trim pot for? Secret sauce? Just curious. Thanks for posting, and thx AO for making so many excellent hardware-ish fx!
