Scheps 73 is a vibrant 3-band EQ inspired by the iconic 1073 console's EQ and mic preamp module. Developed in collaboration with acclaimed mixing engineer Andrew Scheps, known for his work with artists like Adele and Metallica, this plugin brings classic analog tonal shaping to your digital setup. It faithfully reproduces the sound and behavior of the original hardware, offering a warm and rich character that enhances any mix.

Powered by advanced modeling technologies, Scheps 73 features interrelated EQ bands that replicate the original 1073 design, including a fixed 12kHz high-frequency band and switchable low and midrange bands with cut and boost controls. It also incorporates an 18dB/octave high-pass filter and introduces a unique 10kHz midrange band found in the rare 1078 channel strip. The addition of an MS matrix enables precise equalization of mid and side stereo elements, providing greater control over your stereo image.

Waves has meticulously modeled the renowned Marinair transformer to capture the distinctive harmonic distortion and tonal qualities of the original 1073. This attention to detail results in authentic saturation and warmth, fine-tuned by Andrew Scheps himself. The plugin delivers a beautifully rich sound that enhances tracks with natural analog character, making it an essential tool for mixing and sound design.
