THE 500 ENDALL:
Instinctual, Untamed Tone –
Iron & BRONZE Edition eq’s
The 500 ENDALL comes from months of personal testing and use in the studio on a variety of recordings. Refining each feature to be simple and flexible in as many different applications as I could come up with. The end result is a studio tool that will help you push your sound faster and closer to your desired tone with very little effort. It has become a go to eq for fast moving tracking sessions and strapping pairs across your busses.
Built to be perfect for tracking, mixing and mastering. No compromising.

Small-Batch Runs Only:
Price is for a single channel, if you want pairs order 2.
What do the different color KNOBS mean:
Iron colored knobs indicate the standard opamps. These sound a little more extended and modern sounding.
Bronze colored knobs indicate the use of custom discrete opamps from Scott Liebers. These lean towards a more 70’s sound, I have a pair of these on my Drum Buss at all times now.
Neither option is considered a better version in my opinion. In testing, I found that both options sounded great and shinned on different sources. Personally, I wanted both versions in my Studio so I figured I would make both options available to everyone. Pairs of both versions get used all the time in my sessions and spread out across my busses.
