Hello everyone!
I want to have a stab at designing my first ever piece of equipment. I always wanted a nice equalizer I could strip onto my 2 bus and after a lot of research I found this quite rare eq topology, tilting equalizer. I’m aware of the quad 34 pre and Tonelux and I wanted to do something a little bit different.
The things I’m looking for my design are:
And also I was thinking about two different shelf curves or a switch between a shelf or a bell tilting eq (not sure yet if that would be a good/usable idea)
I would really like to focus on nice shelving/bell curves to make it as much universal as possible.
As I mentioned first this is my first attempt to designing a piece of equipment, and I’m a bit worried that it might be a bit too complicated but I treat this as a long term project and I can do it step by step slowly adding the features.
I’m attaching a copy of first draft of schematic I did for this, it includes a basic eq + balanced in and out, it doesn’t have any values though. Before I move along I want to see what you guys have to say about this idea.
I took most of the info from a great book called "Small Signal Audio Design"
Thanks for all your time and input!

The things I’m looking for my design are:
- Balanced in/out (op amp or transformed balanced if possible)
Tilting active eq with +- 6db of boost/cut
Variable crossover frequency
HP/LP
