The dials on the EQP-1 feel quite strong and purposeful just like the controls on other Tegeler devices. The frequency selector pots are especially tough when shifting with a satisfying click when set. This forceful haptic gives the unit a nice premium “built like a tank” feel. The boost and cut pots are weighted differently to the frequency dials and are finely stepped with a loose feel.

Using the EQP-1 to sculpt the tone of stereo content will force you to use both your hands at the same time, which for many engineers is a great way of working. Every time I reach for this device I find myself adjusting the top end first as the results are time and again super sweet sounding. Low-end adjustments are also applied just as easily, especially if I feel that a track is sounding a bit light and in need of some extra weight and prominence. Comparing before-and-after results is easily done by switching the bypass in-and-out on each of the channels.

The EQ learning curve (pun intended) is incredibly shallow on this device. It didn’t take me long to really appreciate all of the available tones and sweeteners this device has to offer. The manual is also a very good resource. It includes a number of very clear curve shape diagrams for each of the bands which will help you to visualise what the EQ will do in certain positions.
