Drawmer 1971

The Crush function introduces harmonic saturation and grit to the signal, adding warmth and presence. It is designed to help tracks cut through a mix by providing a subtle analog character that mimics the behavior of vintage gear.

The 1971 features precision stepped potentiometers for all frequency and gain controls. This design is specifically intended to make it easy to recall your exact settings when working on different projects.

While it is robust enough for tracking, the 1971 is well-suited for mastering due to its precise stepped controls and flexible parametric design. The ability to switch slopes on the low and high bands provides the surgical control often required in a mastering chain.

The filters are highly flexible, offering adjustable frequency ranges and switchable slopes of 6, 9, or 12dB per octave. This allows you to clean up unwanted rumble or harsh high-end frequencies with either a gentle musical roll-off or a steeper, more aggressive cut.

Yes, the 1971 features a true hardware bypass for each individual band as well as a master bypass for the entire unit. This allows you to accurately compare your processed signal against the dry source without any coloration from the circuitry.

Yes, the unit is equipped with an internal low-hum toroidal power supply that includes a voltage selector switch. This makes it compatible with various international power standards.
