I struggled to find anything that this didn’t sound good on

The Backs EQ collection at first seems clean and transparent, and indeed it can be, but its magic lies in the wonderful preamp option, which not-so-subtly provides a very broad lift to the lower 3/4s of the audio spectrum, while providing a dense and rich harmonic character. I struggled to find anything that this didn’t sound good on. It was uniquely flattering and challenged my existing bias about Bax-style eqs being most beneficial to the high end.

Baxandall to the Max

Tight lows and brightness without ear piercing tonality… that’s the classic 1950s design Peter Baxandall invented which has stood the test of time. Backs goes ‘beyond the bax’ with sweepable frequencies, some spicy preamps, mid/side processing and a handy mid-band parametric filter. Perfect for subtly improving an already great mix and sub-group bus enhancement as well.

Pristine sound of the Hardware

Searching for a fresh take on the beloved Bax EQ? Your quest ends here. We all appreciate the pristine sound of the hardware, but sometimes it can feel a tad mundane. That’s where NoiseAsh steps in, breathing new life into this classic with a fun and engaging twist. This remarkable EQ not only sounds fantastic but is also a joy to use. It has quickly become my top choice among Bax EQs, and I’m sure you’ll love it too!

I’m not surprised by Noiseash

I have never been a huge fan of Baxandall eq’s simply because for simple curves (and kinda to polite results should is say ) I tend to gravitate around the Pultec style eq , but what I love about this one is that it has clean curves and results with a mojo / precision that surprised me . Started to try it on a lot of material , to find out that it’s a real workhorse when you want a fast Pultec style workflow with capabilities that are excellent . A shaping device : 3 bands and filters (Lo and Hi cuts) + width (and preamp)… superb for those fast instinctive moves during production or early mixing stage when you make crucial balances and color decisions!
Should i say i’m not surprised by Noiseash , quality expected : quality delivered!

I really love the Preamp Drive

Wonderful sounding EQs filled with colour and great additional shaping possibilities like stereo width, nuance deviation and MS modes! I really love the preamp drive as well! Recommended!

Effortless and bettermakers!

OK so I wrapped my head around the new Motown and Bax eq’s. As a singer/songwriter, the presets are super useful and anyone who has the excellent NEED eq will recognize the weight and fidelity of these emulations. Effortless and bettermakers! Well done!

However, it comes with a simplified interface that is easy to use. Being user-friendly, lightweight, and offering a smooth and musical response, the Backs EQ Lite is definitely worth considering.
