QuadCurve EQ Modes
Can someone tell me what hardware EQs the modes in the QuadCurve EQ emulate? I want to match them to the Console Emulation Modes.
Hybrid=
Pure=
E Type=
G Type=
Thanks.

Thanks, that helps a lot, but what I'd still like to know is which Specific Hardware Units they were modeled after. The Vintage/ E-Type is the Neve, but the ones I'm not sure about are the Pure and G- Type, which one is the SSL and which one the Trident?

Yeah, sorry I realised after pressing enter, it didn't specifically answer your question.

IIRC, the E type emulates an SSL 4000 E series console EQ and the G type an SSL 4000 G series. The way the different bands interact is different, too - I guess due to the Q width.
The Pure is more like a standard digital EQ, and the Hybrid is a mix of E and G - narrow Q for cut and wider Q for boost.
I tend to use the Hybrid most of the time, but will use the G type if I want more of a general "tone shaping" EQ.
If I want to do a lot of "clinical" EQ I tend to use the Sonitus - and love my Nomad Factory PulseTec EQs too.

My educated guesses/two cents...
I haven't noticed a coloration difference, but I THINK the base (1.3) Q and the shelving shape is based on the following models:
Pure: Based on the API 550 Series EQs
E/G Type: Based on the SSL E-series and G-series Console EQs, respectively.
Hybrid seems to be the E-type boost but with a narrower cut.

The Cakewalk blog says. "E-Type models the classic British console EQ from the 1960s and 70s". I assumed that would be a NEVE because SSL wasn't founded until 69 and didn't start making consoles until mid 70's.

You assumed incorrectly. It is based on the SSL 4000 E, hence " E-type". I've not checked the dates, but if that is true, I guess they got the dates slightly wrong.

I guess I also assumed incorrectly that they would know when the console whose EQ they were modeling was made. No wonder the letter system didn't make any sense to me! Thanks for the clarification. Anyway, I found a very helpful post (which is probably part of the manual  ) with a good description of what each mode does: Edit wrong link: https://www.cakewalk.com/Documentation?product=SONAR%20X3&language=3&help=ProChannel.06.html
