Chapter 5: JOEMEEK VC5 Meequalizer
The JOEMEEK VC5 Meequalizer is an EQ
plug-in that is available in TDM, RTAS, and Au-
dioSuite formats and offers simple controls with
incredibly warm, musical results.
How the Meequalizer Works
Picture this: drums in the spare bedroom. Mi-
crophones, cables, and recording gear strewn
about the living room. A familiar scene—espe-
cially to legendary producer Joe Meek in 1962 as
he prepared to record yet another chart topping
hit.
Among countless other achievements, Joe Meek
built custom gear to get the sounds in his head
onto tape. One device was a treble and bass cir-
cuit with a sweepable mid control, built into a
tiny tobacco tin. The Meequalizer VC5 virtually
recreates the exact circuitry used by Joe Meek.
