"The 550A EQ is one of the best equalizers ever made. I like the separation it allows me to give instruments in my mix. It gives them very distinguishing characteristics, which is extremely helpful in songs where instruments are grouped in a crowded frequency range. The EQ is unparalleled in its warm and rich sound. I also love the simplicity of the EQ and its extreme sensitivity. Just a +2db or -2 db adjustment, and it sounds like you moved a mountain on some small near-field monitors.
"The one and only thing that digital recording plug-ins do is emulate and copy to the best of its ability the warm, rich, smooth and vibrant sound of analog gear such as the API EQs and compressors."
