Yes the DEQ2496 is an EQ, but also other dynamics processing as well.
More details coming in my next video, but I'll explain briefly here:
The Behringer DEQ2496 is a sort-of mastering processor. It is a
digital EQ (its all software driven) you can choose and mix different
modules (Graphic, Para-, Dynamic etc...) it also features a stereo
compressor/limiter.
I chose the 1/3 Graphic EQ module running into the Dynamic EQ Module.
I use the Dynamic EQ module as a 3-band limiter, targeting 3 specific
frequency bands I've found to be the problem "shrill end" of the organ
tone. This is to model the resistance wiring limiting of tonewheels
to drawbars and to the preamp as you play. I remember your Art vs. SE
preamp test, and did the same thing. But I went further, trying to
clean up the organ tone, something that has been bugging me for years.
I tried the ultramizer at first, which was a sucess for what it was
capable of, but only limiting one band of the high end of the
spectrum. The DEQ2496 lets me control 3 bands, which let me target
the 3 most troublesome bands in the organ tone. 1 band needed only a
descreet amount of limiting, while the other 2 bands required some
stiff control. Bearing in mind, the signal out of the DEQ unit runs
straight to the expression (optical volume) pedal and then to the
preamp. By sending a more balanced signal to the preamp, lets me get
a smoother drive tone from the preamp to my 2101.
Stay tuned, I'm working on a video walkthrough on how this works. In
the end, the tone is better balanced accross the keyboard in any
drawbar registration setting, makes a better recording or live mix
with the rest of the band, lessens the danger of blowing any drivers
in your leslie/rotary/keyboard amp (I use the master limiter module in
the DEQ threshhold at -2db hard knee), and sounds much more
hammond-like than before.
Stay tuned...... : )
