IGS Audio Rubber Bands 500

fun fact: I own the exact product, that is on the pictures!

Tiny Pultec EQ with really tiny knobs. If you're a bass player with stubby fingers as me, you will find it quite hard to dial the settings, but you can get used to it, in this size it's normal.

Pros:
- typical Pultec Boost-Cut effect
- even if 0dB boost and cut, the transformer colors the sound a bit, makes the input sound bigger and fatter. Expect a bit of analogue-style mid-cut in the overall sound

Cons:
- I REALLY miss 3kHz boost... the lowest frequency is 5k, even on the other Pultec-style products of IGS
- the Low Boost really boosts the signal. It scaled up to 10, and I find 1 is fairly enough in most cases. Although I found even if turning up the High boost to 10 doesn't makes it sound harsh
- expect a signal boost of 4-5dB (depending on your settings). So gain staging is mandatory, this unit is loud!

Overall I really like it, using it a lot! Perhaps a bit less boost in the Low Boost would make the unit more versatile. I feel I won't turn it up more than about 3, it gets really loud in the low end.
