Manley Massive Passive EQ

The Manley Massive Passive EQ is a colossal, timbre-twisting passive equalisation using metal-film resistors, film capacitors, and hand-wound inductors to organically sculpt the tone from subtle to vivid.

Manley’s tube stages handle huge HF boosts without sibilance and unbelievable fatness without mud. “It’s like a Pultec on steroids.”
