This version utilizes the GAR2520 DOA on the input, giving the user a chance to \"drive\" the input stage to get the desired level of \"flavor\" from the DAO (Discrete Op Amp). It has another GAR2520 driving into a transformer on the output. When not required in the signal path, the unit is in hard bypass, meaning that the signal is left 100% unaffected by the unit.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3 id=\"toc_0\"\u003eWhat is a Baxendall EQ?\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe Baxendall equalizer is a simple shelving EQ, but unlike traditional shelving EQs, which have a steep rise above a set frequency (i.e. 2 kHz), a Baxandall shelving curve (named after Peter Baxandall) exhibits a gently rising slope (or falling if you are cutting at a certain frequency), which sounds a lot more natural. These gentle slopes also mean that the signal does not suffer so much phase distortion that other EQ designs can introduce.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pope Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44450608709735,"sku":"143816","price":575.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/8848\/5479\/files\/pope-bax-2020-extra_143816_1.jpg?v=1787093744","url":"https:\/\/vintageking.com\/products\/pope-audio-bax-2020-extra-500-series-eq-drive","provider":"Vintage King","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
