The Pope Audio BAX 2020 ‘Classic’ combines analogue ‘Hi’ and ‘Lo’ frequency gain control, in a compact, fuss-free module. This version utilises the GAR2520 DOA on the input, giving you a chance to “drive” the input stage to get the desired level of “flavour” from the DOA (Discrete Op Amp). When not required in the signal path, the unit is in hard-bypass, meaning that the signal is left 100% unaffected by the unit.

The Baxandall equaliser is a simple shelving EQ, but unlike traditional shelving EQs a Baxandall exhibits a gently rising slope for a more natural sound, and lower phase distortion. Add top-end sparkle to a mix or stem, gently roll off unwanted ‘muddiness’ on complex acoustic instruments or drive the input harder for subtle harmonic colouration.
