Each band offers five filter frequencies that were chosen by Dave for their musical nature.

There are four EQ bands and each has it’s on ON/OFF button. Preamp 1 provides a bit of a built-in bump in the frequency response centering around 200Hz, while Preamp 2 provides a bump centering around 10kHz. There are 3 basic operating modes in that you can set the EQ to be clean, or have 2 different harmonic distortion curves at the front end of the signal path. It’s a basic 4 band EQ with high and low pass filters, but it actually emulates the sound of all the EQs that Dave uses on his mixes. The Pensado EQ looks deceivingly simple but has a lot going on under the hood. It’s been a long time coming, but Dave has finally put his stamp on a plugin of his own, the Acoustica Acqua Pensado EQ.

During that time he’s worked with some of the most revered artists ( Michael Jackson, Christina Aguilera, and Beyoncé among them) but the fact is that every mix Dave does is a masterpiece regardless of the stature of the artist. Dave Pensado has been a superstar mixer from the time he entered the Los Angeles music scene more than 20 years ago.
