BB Mo-Q
A true piece of music history
Built in the '60s by Motown's engineers to help usher in a new era of music and sound, the Motown EQ is one of the most important pieces of audio equipment ever built. Used on countless number one hits, the original first batch of Motown EQs have since become incredibly rare and collectible, shrouded in almost mythical lore.
We meticulously studied this iconic unit to build the most sonically accurate emulation possible.
