Tilt

Wide tone adjustment with one control

Tilt is the first in our series of core modules, which will take cues from the main product line and strip back the features so both the module width and cost can be shrunk dramatically.

The module comprises an ‘Ambler’ style tilt EQ network similar to the ‘Stilts’ topology, allowing simultaneous cut and boost of low and high frequencies using a single control.

Tilt control circuits are known for the transparency of their cut and boost curves, coupled with the inherent emphasis gained from cutting one end of the frequency spectrum whilst boosting at the opposite end.

It sounds pretty good on all audio source material but is especially suited to tracking drums, guitar and lead, or manipulating effects sends and returns.

With the control knob at 12 o’clock the sound passed is neutral. Turning the control knob clockwise will boost high and cut low frequencies pivoting from a fixed mid-range point. Turning the control anti-clockwise below 12 o clock will in turn boost low frequencies and cut the highs.

In addition to the EQ there is a soft clipping network which will begin to saturate signals over 15 volts peak to peak.

No compromise has been made regarding component selection or substitution, and Tilt uses the same high-quality OPA op amps, Alpha pots and ENIG PCBs as found in our main product line.
