Classic Optical Compression!

Perfect for project and professional studio owners alike, Joemeek's oneQ gives you everything you'd expect from a premium channel strip — and a whole lot more! Everything starts with a clean mic pre that is switchable to a more vintage-styled "Iron" setting with special transformer coupling. Next up, you've got a highly musical 4-band EQ to start shaping the sound. Dial out the sibilance with the onboard de-esser. But here's the real show stopper: the legendary Joemeek optical compressor! That's right; the same sound that made Joemeek gear famous is right here inside the oneQ. Joemeek pushed it one step further by including a wide variety of digital I/O on the back. Both the analog purist looking for a new variety of color and a digital enthusiast chasing vintage vibe will find the Joemeek oneQ a welcome addition to their racks!
