Basically, Michael Brauer—and that's it.

With a 10-gauge hand-brushed aluminum face plate, historically accurate control layout, and custom-molded bakelite knobs, the MOTORCITY EQualizer looks the part. More importantly, the passive equalization circuit is identical to the original design. The MOTORCITY EQualizer is specifically designed to rival the arguably more famous Pultec EQ.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIt was no simple task to make a 100% accurate reincarnation.
