Tierra Audio Icicle Equalizer
Powerful 4-band mono parametric equalizer. A versatile tool fit for every situation. Icicle Equalizer is your ally for surgically removing any annoying frequency or increasing a region. Edit without limits!
With Icicle Equalizer you can choose between our cleanest sound, or a more coloured sound with the OOMPH!
Clean sound:
Ultra-clear and clean sound, perfect for equalizing voices, guitars or strings.
OOMPH! sound:
Perfect to add a special colour to your tracks, from the characteristic grain of tape recording, to higher levels of distortion giving a unique personality to your drums and basses.
Benefit from the OOMPH! feature
Icicle Equalizer is empowered to add extra analog color thanks to Germanium Diodes distortion.
OOMPH! will grant your sound with the harmonic’s excitation from a slightly soft distortion to an agressive one. Perfect for all those situations where you are looking for that kind of rich and warm sound.
Broaden your voices
Sure enough, you have envied the broadened voices of your favorite mixes a million times.
Icicle Equalizer comes with a treble filter that reaches up to 29,4kHz.
Therefore, you will be able to enhance your voices’ glow up to the maximum, adding a sense of broadness and proximity.
Want better results? Try the treble bandwidth with a lowered Q to reduce the annoying frequencies and control de Harsh effect.
Down to the last detail
Icicle Equalizer fits perfectly those situations where some annoying frequencies arise, either due to an acoustic space resonance, to the instrument construction, or because of the presence of certain frequency registries unneeded in the final mix.
To get rid of them, we suggest choosing a small Q and increasing that frequency range gain. Search for the said frequency adjusting the FREQUENCY knob until noticing it intensifies. Beware of keeping your monitor’s volume not too high.
Once found, decrease the gain to the minimum and… Voilà! The frequency will vanish.
Boost your FX
Do not leave your delivery channels untreated. The reverb channel often contains unnecessary frequencies that soil the final sound. Icicle Equalizer is ideal for these situations. Try removing the effects’ low-end or even eliciting a different sensation by creatively emphasizing different ranges of frequencies.
