And so, in the spirit of the '60s, we have included this "not so precise" effect by providing

two RS127 plug-ins: the grey rack version and the green standalone unit with the

transformer effect. I have seen old setups where engineers used two RS127s in series for

heavy EQ treatment, and I can highly recommend using these EQs on guitars, keyboards

and vocals. If you find that +/-10 dB is not enough, do what they did back then – use two of

them!

The RS135

The RS127 was primarily made to supplement the 5 kHz REDD desk EQ, and proved to be

immensely useful and popular. However, there was still a need to boost frequencies

between 5 kHz and 10 kHz.

EMI 8 kHz boost boxes were widely used but little was know about them. Only recently,

when putting this project together, Lester removed the 8 kHz label (incidentally, made with a

Dymo prototype) and found on the reverse that these boxes were in fact originally RS135s.

Our researchers have shown that these boxes were designed for a 16.4 kHz boost, but

modifications made at the time choked this frequency by half – enabling engineers to boost

signals at 8 kHz. We have decided to add this to our 'Brilliance' suite, thus completing the

range of presence EQs that were significantly used at Abbey Road in the '60s.
