The Manley Massive Passive EQ plugin is officially licensed by Manley Labs and faithfully captures the behavior of the original hardware — from its uniquely shaped filter curves and band interdependencies to the tube amplifier saturation and the subtle hysteresis of transformers and inductors.
It features a 3-band EQ with nine selectable frequencies, housed in the standard 500x format. Each band allows for ±16 dB of boost or cut at musically chosen frequency ranges, while adding a touch of smooth saturation.
In the early 1990s, digital synthesizers dominated the market, and rack units became a staple in both studios and on stage. Advances in digital technology allowed Roland to pack an incredible variety of sounds into a single unit. With the addition of optional PCM sound cards, users could further expand the unit with specialized sound sets.
