What is Equalizer601?

Equalizer601 is an Add-On Effects package. This effect emulates the characteristics of analog equalizers used in 1970s. It adds drive to the sound by reproducing distortion typical to analog circuits.

What is VCM (Virtual Circuitry Modeling)?

VCM is a technology that enables you to model element levels in analog circuits (such as resistors and capacitors).

This technology was developed by an engineering group led by Mr. Kunimoto, an engineer who developed the first physical modeling synthesizers, VL1 and VP1. Equalizer601 utilizes VCM technology.
