UREI 546 Dual Parametric EQ

I've got a tender spot for UREI recording stuff. There are so many different units that serve different purposes. They all seem to lie in the same function/availability/price category as well - they are certainly capable, they're always surfacing as used items for sale, and they tend to stay under the thousand mark.

Anyway, this one is the UREI 546 Dual Parametric Equalizer. On each channel, you've got low and high cut filters, variable bandwidth controls for each band (Low, Low-Mid, High-Mid, High - also, pull out the bandwidth knob and you've bypassed that band), detent frequency selection and stepped boost or cut control. This thing looks almost good enough for mix bus or mastering! Functionality reminiscent of a certain Manley piece? Sure, but very different guts. Cheap on eBay!

Ursa Major Space Station SST-282

This thing LOVES dub. Onboard, it features a LF CUT/HF CUT equalization section, four individual volume controls for 4 pairs of delay "taps" (make the third "tap" repeat louder than the second, quieter than the fourth, for example), and even a echo feedback control. This unit, which is the first revision of the design, also doubles as a reverb with a single push-button. It's amazing how cheap this particular one is going for so far on eBay.

Klemt Echolette

Get hip to this thing, its got tons of character! They usually need some love to get back to perfect condition, but the way it saturates is great. Also check that if it has only the weirdo Din connector, you get a cable to go to something you can use in your studio.
