GML 8200 2-channel Parametric EQ Reviews

Even though this equalizer comes from the man who invented the parametric EQ years back, it's still without a doubt one of the most versatile and useful equalizers on the market, and works great for everything from broad tonal shaping to precise surgical tweaks. The amount of boost and cut you can apply with this Eq is almost unnatural... when I use it I find myself having to constantly switch the EQ in and out to make sure that it's on because it's so transparent and neutral. There's a reason it's been the industry standard for decades, and surely will be for decades to come.

Most of my customers ask me "What are some ways I can improve my sound?" One way of course is to have some great outboard gear. A must-have in any studio is a great EQ. If you're serious about your music and sound quality, then you have to include the GML 8200 in your arsenal.

Definitive clarity. No one seems to argue the point. Everyone loves GML and the 8200 is a staple in the industry for distinction at every frequency you can sweep. No harshness, nothing brittle, no grit. Just clean as a whistle.

Well, even if George Massenberg was not my friend, I would recommend this EQ as it's the REAL DEAL! Honestly, if you can buy from the inventor of the parametric EQ industry, why wouldn't you? Guess what George Massenberg didn't invent? Good sound! He just figured out ways of getting it into recordings! I'm honored that George comes here to Sweetwater and trains us and helps us. That further proves what he's really concerned with - getting good recordings.

One of the best, most useful hardware EQs for a studio professional. George Massenburg invented parametric equalization, so is it any surprise that his own version of it is so highly regarded? The 8200 has a smooth, transparent sound that is great not just for fixing things in the mix, but also for sculpting your sound!
