The Black Series modules include a mic preamp, EQ, compressor, A-D converter, and a world-clock, all of which are mountable in a BR10 rack. Although initially hesitant to try the Black EQ module, and feeling content with the performance of his ASP8024’s onboard equalisation, Kenny was pleasantly surprised by its performance. Having experimented with a previously lacklustre guitar sound, he commented that, “the EQ has a fantastic tone, and the frequencies chosen just seem to sound musical and correct. The narrow-band cut is great too.” Following this success, Kenny was inspired to try and improve an overly grungy electric bass part using Black EQ’s Glo low-frequency boost and in-line compressor, and routing the EQ output through the FET overcompression in Black Comp, with similarly positive results. “I thought the part sounded pretty good before we went through the Black rack,” said Kenny, “but now it sounds even better”.
